Vango Tent extension wanted
Hi Folks, I need a porch extension for my Vango Force 10, Mk 5, standard,
tent. Does any one have one for sale. I believe a Mk 5 lightweight would also fit. Many thanks. Pete.

I don't have one for sale, but I do have one. They were available on "special order" from Vango / Blacks/Mukta, or whatever / whoever they're called these days. Expect a minimum delivery time of three weeks. They're available in green or orange nylon ("lightweight" only). You can also order a flysheet and extension combined, at a much greater cost! When I ordered mine, about two years ago, I was informed that the manufacturer wanted to discontinue the Force 10 range, but demand is / was too high! I suspect that given the durability of the canvas tents (my previous model lasted about 15 years before it was stolen), they'd rather make the Nylon "Discovery" range instead, with a consequential higher "turnover" (renewal) rate. Built-in obsolescence, anyone? -- MatSav

AIUI, the Vango brand is owned by AMG Outdoor now When I ordered mine, about two years ago, I was informed that the manufacturer wanted to discontinue the Force 10 range, but demand is / was too high! I suspect that given the durability of the canvas tents (my previous model lasted about 15 years before it was stolen) I met a couple a couple of weekends ago , they we camping in their Force 10 which was wedding present 25 years ago. Still going strong but they did say they were looking to pension it off. The attractions of a lighter weight tent for when they had to backpack was too tempting. -- Chris French, Leeds

I have a Vango Force 10 extension surplus to requirements. Not sure which Mark it's for though. It's orange nylon; the ridge pole is about 4 feet long; the uprights are 5 feet high. All the rubbers are original and in good condition. The fabric is faded a bit and is good, except for a 5 inch horizontal rip at ground level by the lower end of one of the zip doors. If I still had the Force 10, I would have repaired it by now. It will need guys and pegs. I have taken a few pictures which I can send if this sounds like what you need. Do not use "reply to" address(abandonned to spam); reply to group in first instance. Neil(in Warwickshire)
