Hi

Just picked up a front extension for our Oakland just wondering if anyone knew if you can use the side porch at the same time as the front extension?

I don't see why not, the front clips onto the main steel poles so would put this on 1st, the side then clips over onto the other side of the tent guy lines.

dont forget to review and take pictures, dying to see it

Thanks. Got a good deal, I think? Price matched at Go Outdoors and ended up paying just under £140.

Going to try out on local park when we get a good weekend before going to France this summer.

Hi Stu

Did it at Go Outdoors Blackburn. I went in with one price I had searched on the internet at home £155, but the nice chap searched on the internet for me there and then and found it a little cheaper than the one I had seen! They have always been really helpful at Blackburn, last year I did a price match on the tent and they were great, not so at the Wigan store! Who refused the price match.

Good luck.

Rachel

We have the side extension and the front extension and use them both together. Put the front one on first and then the side one. It makes the tent great!!
