Hi everyone. I am new to this site and have found it very informative so far.

I have camped for the last five years or so using an Outwell Hartford M. My husband and I bought it from Norwich Camping on a whim as a replacement for a pretty rubbish Gelert tent. It has been nothing short of superb. It is strong, spacious and an all round excellent tent.

We went camping in it again this weekend for the bank holiday - it was our first camping trip in a while as we now have a new addition to the family in the form of a nine month old baby daughter. I must admit, I had to be persuaded to go camping with her but it all went very well indeed and we had a superb few days away, she adapted to it very well.

So....whilst we still love our Hartford, we discovered this weekend that we may need a little more room now it's not just us. We have therefore started researching for a new Outwell tent and my husband is leaning toward a Georgia XL. I like the look of it too, however I just wondered if anyone could recommend any alternative brands we should be considering too? Above all else, we want excellent quality and lots of space. We're willing to pay up to £500 approx if it means we get a tent that can last us through the next few years and cope with any further additions to our family! I am very loyal to the Outwell brand but don't know enough about alternative brands to totally write them off.
