We use the sun Porch (one with the zip off front). We don't use it with an Ontario, but it's designed for tunnel tenst so presumably would fit it ok.
Moslty we use ours for inlement weather coooking, for a sheltered area in front of the door and sometimes for dumping wet stuff.
We don't always ahve the door panel on, but it is useful in bad weather.

Can all you Ontario 8 owners let me know which porches you have? We are looking for one and want to know which was the best value :)
I bought the Kampa sun porch off eBay as it was much cheaper than the "proper" Khyam one. Fits perfectly and does the job!!

we've got the indiania like TracyD which is the fore runner to the Ontario but no SIG, plus the harvard de lux, which has been renamed to something I cant remember ( vancouver I think)
Indiania ok, but have never really felt hapy in the Harvard not sure why?? but it was made worse with the last holiday and bad winds and the pole snapped. So currently looking for new weekend tent

I have a freelander for when I am at cub camp or just out with my son, a XL excelsior when out with my 2 kids and a ridgi-pod classic with 3 pods when we go out as a family.

Had a small Kyham to start with, forget the name but it was a bit smaller than the Igloo, then a Mackenzie, then a Tourer 200. All beautiful tents and well used.
Now I use a Cabanon Noumea but am seroiusly considering a Freelander.

I managed to rip my Excelsior XL slightly while pitching in very high wind yesterday at one of the tent to pole attachment points. Good job it has taped seals on the inside!

It's not a perfect replacement but hey ho. I'm taking it to my parents place in France, in case visitors want to go camping for a couple of days, so hopefully it'll still be used.
