I have Hartford XL and love it.  I used it for the first time in Cornwall in horrific weather when Boscastle flooded and it was fine.  No leaks at all and withstood the strong winds and thunder storms.  I do think the porch is too small and now have the canopy which is brilliant.

i love my hartford xl. We put four year old grandson in his own pod, as it has a SIG we dont shut the pod doors so he can see us if he wakes(we leave on a small night light).

its the most robust tent iv ever been in when weather is stormy and i wouldnt part with mine, we can put it up in less than an hout including guying out.
