anyone got anything good bad or indifferent to say about this tent?

(am looking for my first tent and this MIGHT be it!)

I like the bedroom size, the three (I think) doors (confirmation of three doors would be great) and the canopy. But I can't figure out the total footprint size, nor the internal living space size.

Also, I read on another thread that someone had issues with the windows on a tent they'd bought unseen, but I don't know what I should be looking out for in windows. Are the windows on this OK?

It seems to be a model that was discontinued this year so I doubt I'll get to see it up.

Any of you tent experts spot anything I am missing here?

TIA

I would say it was 5 mtrs from front opening to the back of the tent.

It states it is 7 mtrs from front corner to corner so it will be about 6.5 mtrs from front corner to back corner.  Know nothing about the tent though - sorry

Hi Hlk01 - well you are a very welcome stalker at that

what differentiates this for me are the number of doors (if indeed there are three) which should make it feel light'n'airy inside, as well as the size of the bedrooms and being able to sleep feet to tent side. Having seen the 2006 hartford I do feel that the pods would be a bit tight for us.

I don't know what this one weighs though and am interested to hear from anyone who knows it whether it is ok to put up, as you suggest probably about the same time as the hartford I guess, but maybe if we practice hard...

also I like the price of 189.

thanks Ken and Wendy for the input on the footprint - very helpful, must check against the hartford...
