Hello all,
First time poster!!
We purchased a second-hand Vango Samara last year. We have used it three times so far and we are really pleased with it.
However, we think it would be perfect with a canopy (front or side, we are not fussy). After a bit of research, I notice that the Samara canopies have been discontinued and I can't find a second-hand one anywhere so I was wondering ...
a) can anyone recommend an alternative canopy on the market now which works with a Samara?
b) is there some kind of universal Vango canopy?
Thanks
Gareth

Oops. Should have searched through forum first. Found a few of these queries. Seems Samara canopies are an endangered species! Off to look for a Tigris canopy now as that seems to be the recommendation from Vango

My last tent was a Samara, tried for years to get a canopy eventually gave up as you just couldnt get them, have now upgraded to an Airbeam and bought the canopy/awning, carpet and footprint at same time just to make sure i didnt have same problem again.
