Kalahari/Beyond Meridian tents

[lunavix]

I've posted this on UKCS, but remember someone on here saying they had one so thought I'd put it here too.

Been trying to decide on the Kalahari 8 or 10, the 10 is just so spacious but not sure if really necessary.

With the 199 offer (if it's in stock today) the 8 is a good price, however when the divides are up the bedrooms are teeny. Our plan was to have us one side and the kids the other (so we could take the divides down) - however I do like the fact with the 10 we could still have a nice size bit, kids in the same side and take the other side down for extra living space. There's only two adults and two kids atm, though we do want more in the future.

If we were to get the 10 I'd imagine we'd buy the gelert beyond meridian, as it's the same price if not cheaper than the hi gear. I like the fact the gelert accessories can be used in the kalahari 8, though this wouldn't work in the 10 as they are different sizes.

Aside from HH, does anyone know if there's any difference between the Meridians/Kalaharis?

TIA

HI, I bought the Kalahari 10 from Go Outdoors last year for the bargain price of £199. I looked at quite a few other tents the meridian also and just prefered the Kalahari. It's huge inside and sometimes only put up the 1 bedroom. Single camper now with 3 kids, without the other bedroom up the kids found it fantasic as loads of playing space for them away from the cooker & things. I would definately recommend this tent, although it is a pain to put away & the 2 bags make it take up a fair bit of boot space.
