Thank you, this was so helpful. This might work really well for us. Our Zenobia 6 nightfall is a fantastic size for us (Mum and Dad), our mid teenager and our 3 large dogs. We would only need the side extension when weather dictates the need for an area to dry off the dogs, have mats down to dry off paws/feet, hang wet gear etc. In fine weather the zenobia 6 does everything we want it to do, including the ability to set up the "kitchen" in the living area with the cooking space by one of the doors for ventilation. You can't argue with Higear tents really can you? Great budget spacious tents if you don't want to spend Outwell polycotton inflatable prices. Your 8 person looks fantastic. Too big for us now our eldest has left home but a great option for those who need family space with a built in porch. Thanks again and happy camping! 😊
Thankyou oh my these 2 tents are exact ones I've just picked to decide between it's just I love the 4 rooms in zenobia 8 whereas you have two in the other... but then got little ones so don't want hassel of taking too long to put up porch dohh decisions decisions thankyou for sharing 🤍🕯
The Hampton 8 we have has three rooms as you can sit the large back bedroom. But the bedrooms were bigger in the Zenobia, I will have to do a versus video for the two! Thanks for watching!
Re: side porches in general i thought you might have added another negative: poor aerodynamics in windy conditions. You can align a rectangular tent to the prevailing wind but not the porch which seems a bit sacrificial!
We have the Hampton 8dlx nightfall and are looking to get this porch as the attached porch is not big enough and when the front door opens everything gets dripped if it's been raining.

The porch is a good option and creates that extra space for those that need it. Happy camping to you too and thanks for watching!
Really good review and well explained. Really helps taking decisions for a newbee like me who is still looking for tents
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!
Brilliant thanks for your honest review I'm not sure I'll buy a porch now😅
You’re welcome, glad it was useful. It’s a great porch, but having a built in one is so much easier! Thanks for watching!

Yeah never thought of that, can't be as aero as a regular rectangle shape. Thanks for watching and happy camping!

This porch will definitely fit, seen it on a few Hampton 8. Has the same issue with the door though when it’s raining! Thanks for watching!
Go outdoors said this would fit the eurohike sendero 8xl do you know if it will
Yes will definitely fit the Sendero 8xl, seen it on a couple at campsites. Thanks for watching!
Do you know if this porch fits on the Hampton 8DLX Nightfall tent too? We have the Hampton 8 but want a side porch too 😂
Yep I’ve seen it on the side of the Hampton 8, so it will fit, although never done it myself. Would give you loads of room!
Great review buddy
Thank you!
