I HAVE DECIDED TO BUY A HARTFORD XXL 2006 MODEL THAT IS ON EBAY FOR ONLY £299.

IS THIS A GOOD IDEA?

We also have the XXL and in our opinion it is THE best tent on the market by far!!!  All of our friends that have visited us whilst we have been camping have been mega impressed with the tent.  We have the 2004 model, same tent but different colour.  My husband usually puts the tent up on his own with a little help from me when he pins the poles in the holes (I don't just sit in the car watching him, I unpack the car and roof-box and look after the children).

The tent is sooo big and roomy. We use three of the pods as bedrooms and the other pod as a store room for clothes, food and other equiptment.   The pods anre quite shallow but ample for lying down in!!

Happy camping

Hi

Great Tent, I've got the smaller Hartford L, but I have just invested in the £60 front canopy and its great.  See my gallery

I've just bought the new canopy (which looks fab in Jay's pics) - can't wait to get mine up.  I had a look at the 2006 model and I agree with the previous posts - the 2005 model is much better - eg. you can open the windows. 

Good luck, Benski
