Without the porch on the tent is 7m x 4m and the Porch is an extra 1.5m on the 4m.

well that should fit on a standard camping and caravan pitch as it is under 9mts long, i would not be happy paying extra for somthing that is attached to the main tent  

if any site tried to charge me extra the canopy would be left in the trailer and i would make do with the main tent 

I believe in France, with many of their sites marked out with planting and hedging, you can put whatever you want on your pitch without extra charges, you're paying for the pitch, not the tents.

Here, because the sites are charging for the main tent, plus the pup tent, plus the utility tent, the tendancy is to have a massive tent with everything under one roof. 

I have a porch but as it's attached to the main tent I consider it part of the main tent. I've not been challenged yet, and if I was I'd probably just take the extension down as it's a luxury not a necessity (for me at least). I'd be annoyed if I was challenged, it's very petty and money grabbing. I understand that fair charges have to be applied in order to stay in business, greed is another thing.

This would make the tent 5.5m wide and so wouldn't fit on a standard C&CC pitch - you'd need to book, and therefore pay extra for, a jumbo pitch.

Some sites will charge for every little thing they can.

I would recommend you give the tent dimensions, including the porch, when booking and see what each site has to say!

I have a monty 6 with a awning , but don't pay extra when i've been as i think it looks part of the tent when fitted!

if they ask i'll pay
