Hi fellow campers

At the moment we have an Outwell Harfford XL and a new canopy extension for that bit extra space. It is quite a large tent, but we would prefer headroom in the bedrooms and a lighter interior for the evenings.

We recently camped in Devon and saw the Outwell Indiana 8 which we really like apart from the fact that it doesnt have a sewn in groundsheet. We are planning to sell our Hartford and replace it with a tunnel tent similar to the Indiana, but would prefer one with a sewn in groundsheet...does one exist ? or is the bucket groundsheet with the Indiana an improvement ?

Advice please ....many thanks

Have you had a look at the marechal vario 9 ? It has all the features you mention plus great flexibility with bedroom arrangements and it can even have a porch area big enought for 2 rocking chairs !

There is the Sunncamp Haven 800, which is probably closest.

A Sunnvalley 8 is not too disimilar, but has the bedrooms mainly down one end.

Then there are vis-a-vis SIG tents like the Wynnser Hawk, Outwell Nebraska XL, Wild Country Halo.

Many Thanks to you all for your replies...I will now have some fun looking at all the suggestions.

Once again Thanks everyone.

I have just had this dilemna also, and decided to go for the Montana 12, it has a SIG and seemed to have more usuable and versatile space as you can remove 1 or 2 bedrooms from each end if not needed on a trip giving more living space, you can also add a side canopy if you wish.

I looked at them both side by side pitched at a show in Darley Dale today, the Indiana had a big puddle in the goundsheet! also the ground sheet looked very untidy, granted they had both been pitched for a while, but the montana was still mint and bone dry.

If you .liked the look of the Idiana then it sounds as though the Montana might be the one for you.....Very similar but with a sewn in groundsheet.
