Does anyone have a vango hexaway awning with the extra canopy?

[Katoof]

We bought a Vango Hexaway that we used to the first time a few weeks ago- we love the space and door options to the awning but the one thing I missed is having a porch area. We did look at the canopy but it looks quite big. Has anyone got this set up and if so how do you find it ?

Just bought the canopy and used it for the first time last week.
yes it’s big! I guess it will add another 2.1m to the footprint.
it fits at three points (where the guy lines attach) and it can be any adjacent three so it can go in three different positions
useless in the rain as the water runs back to the dome and then down the dome walls, if you have the door open under the canopy you will soon have a swimming pool inside the dome.
absolutely brilliant in the sun.
good typical Vango quality - would I buy again - probably yes as it it folds up to nothing and the poles are all foldable so takes up no space.
I would attach some pics but it rained everyday so I don’t think it was up for more than 5mins.
if you have any specific questions feel free to ask.

Just found this low quality pic, the canopy only has the one central pole fixed (not all three) as I was trying to dry it out before packing away.
not sure if this help or not?
