Thinking of buying a Khyam Tourer 400 - anyone got one?

We are looking for a quick erect family tent for weekends - we have wasted too many hours grappling with huge tents, its just not worth it for a weekend. The new tent needs to go up FAST. Anyone any experience of one? We are a family of four the dcs are little.

There are some great deals to be had on at the moment on the tourers as they are being discontinued. Should I go for it?

We have a khyam 600 tourer and it is quick to put up (has to be with my dh's practical skills!) We have 2 kids who are now nearly 7 and 8, we got it when they were 2 and 3 and it is lasting well. The good thing about the 600 are it has 3 pods, so one for all the crap as the kids share (but if it lasts for a few years more, they may want separate pods as it's a girl and boy), but it is quite large, so you need a decent sized pitch (this has never been a problem so far!) The middle family area has always been fine, but we've never had prolonged bad weather - as there's no awning you would have to cook inside the tent - though we have had the table in there a few times to shelter from rain!
Hope that's helpful!

Thanks whirly! Anyone else?
