We bought a vango icarus 500 over a year ago after borrowing a tent for our first camping experience and loving it however due to weather and a lot of commitments we still haven't been camping in it. I am determined to go in the next few week's thought. I want to buy a canopy to go with it. I saw the Iris porch is about £40 cheaper than the icarus does anyone know if it would fit. Or any suggestions on another suitable one? Positives and negatives of the porches please.
From some inexperienced campers!
Many thanks

Hi, the thing to look at is the height of the canopy and the height of the front end of the tent. They need to be a close match.
