Has anyone tried using a tent extension with the Quecha Base Seconds 4.2? I love this tent, but could do with a bit more living space, so I'm looking at shelters and extensions.

I used a Base Seconds as an extension, they eyebrow poles slide neatly over each other to create a 'modular' system.

I sold my 4.2 as I have a different tent now but held on to the Base seconds as a kitchen tent. It's still available at Decathlon, about £140 I think. If you are going to get one spend the tenner for the bedroom pod, it is well worth it.

Isn't the Base Seconds the same height as the 4.2? I was hoping for something with a little more height.
