Hi all, Ive just received delivery of a vango premium extension to fit onto my vango orchy 500 tent. Although it looks straight forward to erect by the instructions , ive a couple of questions if anyone has one of these. First, which pole does the elasticated guide lines fit onto the tent, and secondly, when erecting my tent first do i leave pegging out my front guide lines untill the canopy is fastened on? Any help would be appreciated, thanks

hi edd

is it the extension canopy,large or standard?
if its like the one we use on our aspen the elasticated part goes over your exsisting porch then just peg it out as usual we pegged out all guy lines from the tent first then just added the canopy on.makes a great entrance to the tent especially in wet weather as you can leave any wet gear hung up in the tunnel.i would reccommend delta pegs for the canopy.we use ours for drying towels and storing fishing rods.

hope this helps

Hi, Ive got an albany 800 with the wide extension. Has anyone tried putting one of these extensions onto this to provide even more room?
