Hi notaclue we bought our first tent last August and used it for the first time this Easter.
It is a Kampa Croyde 4 and has a porch area at the front.
We love it.
Not sure about old second tents but im sure someone with more knowledge will tell you.

We have an Outwell Indiana 8 that sounds like it is a similar set up internally. We are a family of six and found it great size...plenty of room to sit inside if needed and bedrooms accross the back easily sleep 4 with some space for the kids books/toys etc.
We have had our tent for about 6 years and it has been well looked after. I think it has many years left in it yet. Not sure what sort of price the Sun Valley is selling for but Outwell are a reputable manufacturer and if it has been looked after properely ie dried out before packing away etc then it might be a good entry point. We bought a second hand first tent and it was nice to be able to "test the water" and then when we felt ready we replaced it.

Gelert Corvus has the same layout, comes in 4+2, 5+2 or 6+2, the +2 refers to the optional extra bedroom you can put up at the front.

Sorry forgot to say you can also get side porch and front extension, we have both and love the extra space, especially if it's raining:

Can't comment on the model but a lot of us on here love our Royal Tents, the quality is excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

We have Vango a tigris 800xl with side canopy. It is mahoosive for the 4 of us, but when it rains and all chairs etc need to be inside then the space is fantastic

The Gelert Corvus, Royal Pescara, Norfolk Lake and Vango Tigris are all obsolete discontinued tents so only available used with no guarantee how long they will last and if accessories are available. The Kampa Croyde however is a current model available new with full warranty and accessories

A Corvus, used only 3 times, complete with carpet, footprint and porch has just sold on ebay for £245, if I'd had the money to spare I'd have bought as a replacement for ours, so it is definitely worth considering second hand.
