I've had the Hanover for a couple of years and like it really well. I use a tarp for the floor, practiced at home before I took it out so I wouldn't look quite so stupid in public. ;-) I used tape to code which piece of the frame goes with which, since it's usually a while between set-ups for me (easy reminder). I am usually putting it up with help but can do it alone in about 20 minutes. I did buy heavier duty tent pegs to use, which has also helped a lot. I take dogs along with me, so it's great added room for them, adds a lot of out-of-the-van storage and makes a great shaded place for lounging around in general. Fits nicely in the luggage rack. I'd recommend it highly!
