Having bought a Vango Orchy 600 last year, we're having extreme difficulty in finding a custom-made canopy.  Does anyone know whether an alternative canopy would fit (presumeably a Vango, but other make if needs be)?

Thanks in advance

Thanks very much for that; has given me some ideas, certainly.

Hi. We asked Vango this very question last week. They said that the best(but not perfect)fit from their current range is the Tigris 400XL Front Tent Canopy. Should give a close fit with some adjustment. We ordered one and will be trying it out this weekend. Will let you know how it went.

Just to update that following Emma's post above, we asked Vango too, and got the answer that the Artemis 500 or 600 canopy would work (open rather than enclosed).  I'm happy to confirm that the 600 which we bought has proved perfectly acceptable as a porch.
