Can anybody help please? We have a Outwell Hartford L, but the inner in the bedroom pods sags and brushes on mine and my husband's face whilst we try to sleep. Now it might just be that we didn't stretch out the inside properly before we threw over the outer, but has anyone got any advice?
Many many thanks, I'd be grateful for any info.

We have a Hartford XXL which goes up inner 1st and the bedrooms are exactly the same - its not anything you have done wrong thats just the way they are - this was improved from I think 2007 models onwards as the Hartfords were changed to go up all as one with the bedrooms attatched and an extra pole was added to the bedrooms to create a flat roof effect - this made the bedrooms more taut and stopped the sagging. Probably not what you wanted to hear!!

can you sleep the other way around, with your head by the door and feet down by the lower saggy bit instead .

Thanks for that suggestion, but that would mean us sleeping width ways, and I'm not sure if we're too tall. Will see tho when we go next weekend, it's not putting us off completely!

Our XL has floppy bedrooms - i think it was about 2005 model. We get round it by either sleeping with heads to the middle of the tent (and feet get flopped on!) or more usually widthways with the bags down in the 'floppy' end. Other than that its a great tent!!!!! Good luck with your 'floppiness' issue!!!
