Always happy to share a photo

My Guadeloupe with sun canopy last month - hope it gives you some idea to keep you going till you get to use yours - I took the side panels too but didn't use them as, for once, we had good weather! However, I agree that the side panels would give good protection if the weather turned. Plenty of useful space under the canopy and no need for my kitchen tent

Hi here's a couple of photos of my canopy, my tent is a Cabanon Noumea which is slightly smaller than the Guadeloupe so there is a slight gap at the back but with the canopy and panels it doubles the size of my tent, it's a brilliant bit of kit.

and as you can see we had some really bad weather with strong winds and it was a god send.

Oh wow, thank you Fostermum and Fiona.
Fab pic's, that gives me an idea of what the space will be like

We set up our kitchen stuff within the side panels but cook outside as much as possible weather permitting.

Looks like it will be a lot less cramped with the canopy and maybe just put side panels on if its wet/windy.

Thank yoooou

Very sad news. Bill (9iron) past away this morning. All his friends will miss this kind and thoughtful man. Condolences to his family. Thanks for your good company. Bill R.I.P.

My condolences also to Bills wife and family. He will be missed by a lot of campers in this area. Him dozing off in front of his beloved Guadeloupe was a very familiar site on many Lincolnshire and Yorkshire campsites. Can't believe we won't see him again.

That's very sad, and a bit frightening to know that someone can be gone, so abruptly.

I didn't know him personally but his was a familiar name on these boards, so this is shocking news.

My sincere condolences to those close to him.
