Well just had a look at the sunncamp on e awnings and I would say that advantage of the Hartford XXL is having 4 bedroom pods instead of 3, a rear door and a bigger central area.    But I am probably biased.

If I was on a tight budget, I would take the Sunncamp.

If not, and £110 is not that bigger deal to you, then take what you know you will like - it is not worth the risk in getting something you have only seen on a screen, even if a few people will vouch for it (and they are never the same as the picture).

So is paying £110 more, just unacceptable?
...if it is just a case of "not sure, just don't want to over pay" - then take the Hartford and don't bother risking your important holiday time for the cost of some petrol and a week's worth of beer.

Great choice, from a fellow XXL owner.  At the moment i'm suffering from withdrawl symptons as our brother in law has taken his boys camping with the XXL more times than we have been away.  Will have to remedy soon, and book a few days away.  I'm also dying to use the canopy.

Best of luck hope you love the tent as much as we do !
