My User mode is namespaced as Vendorname/Package as is all my other files in the User package.

So why are you loading it from the main package? (/) You should instead load /Vendorname/Packagename/User because this is where jour User class id namespaced.

Is it a little more understandable now?

I understand what you are saying but where do I change this?

It is not actually me that is adding the '/' it seems Laravel is getting the user model from app/config/auth.php and adding the '/'

Perhaps I am missing something, but it looks as though Laravel (Auth) is actually trying to find the User class in app/models?

Well, you are almost at the solution. In app/config/app.php there is a model item that specify the model used as the User, just specify the model including the full namespaced name.

So

'model' => 'User',

becomes

'model' => 'Vendorname\Packagename\User'

In config/app.php not config/auth.php? (There isn't an option in app.php)

Even when I change it (in config/auth.php) laravel is prepending the '/' at the start, is that normal? Does that make a difference?
