Rubbish if you want to sleep 8 people in it and your budget is £3000, not big enough for even 4 people for a week away. Too big for 2 people really.   No good if you dont like blue.   Nightfall might not be what you want....... we really need more info.   Its like me asking if the Ford Focus is a good car without telling everyone I have 16 kids.

I have the 4.1 xl nightfall and used it on two trips for 9 days (one day of very heavy rain - no leaks) . Decent quality for price, very easy to set up (on my own). The front porch area is really useful, and looks even bigger on the 5. Two side doors also a bonus, allows a good breeze in hot weather.
I'd be tempted. Also, if you have problems, I found Go Outdoors to be much improved in terms of customer service - they refunded a leaky Hi-Gear tent with no quibbles.

If I didn't think it was big enough, I wouldn't be considering it.
I saw it was blue. But if you don't try and read too much into the question,
I was basicly asking about quality of contruction, and any known problems.

This is another tent I was considering, thanks for the input.
The hartford is too big for me now, and I never had a berghaus tent, so was concerned about build quality. And stability in windy conditions.

Hi, get that guarantee in writing and triplicate. You hear of so many problems people have getting replacements.
