Yes, I use one of these. I have converted the tunnel part to marry up to the rear door of my Sprintaway Lux Caravan.

We are pleased with it both from the oodles of room that it gives us, and also the build quality of the tent.

The only criticism I would have is that once it is unpacked and used, you will have the devils own job getting it all back into the bag that they provide.
I am going to get my local sailmaker to make me a bag of better proportions.

I use a Khyam Motordome Classic and cant see past it ...I used to have a tunnel type awning and although it was slightly bigger the ease with which the moterdome goes up and down cannot be over stated ...espesially as I tend to be away with the kids myself and find the tunnel types impossible to put up single handed ...   motordome

I would agree with Jimsmimm, The Tunnel is impossible for one and if I am on my own, I either do without an awning or use the Khyam that came with the van.

Hi

We bought the 2009 model about 4 weeks ago, it is great, so much extra space. We previously used a Navigator XL which was good but no sewn in groundsheet or bedrooms(this is now for sale)

Its very straightforward to erect being a tunnel tent and packs down quite small, the poles can be packed separately to make it easier

What I really like are all the windows which let in lots of light and allow a good view. Plenty of room to seat 4 at a table without blocking everything and space for bikes at night. Easy to drive off from, best to put a peg in ground to mark position for          re-parking. Bedroom has a removable divider and 'just' takes 4 blow up beds  

The only improvement I could see for it would be to provide a proper seal at the base of the doors via zips or velcro. The groundsheet unclips and drops down at these places for easier entry and we did notice quite a draught especially from the front one which only has 3 small velcro pads across the whole width

Hope this helps

steve
