Having problems finding a Khyam Ontario 8,has anybody got one?

[MilaMae]

Don't seem to be viewable up anywhere,do they still exist? Can only find 2 sites that sell them. Are they any good?

I promise to try and not start anymore threads

I have one and love it

Do you know why they're sooo hard to track down?

Is it water tight,strong?

Bit nervous re buying one without seeing it up,any neg/pos points?

Do you have probs getting pitches?

I really like the layout

Thanks!

Very water tight and strong, ours survived a really ansty storm. We don't have it any mroe but was a good tent.

Theya re ahrd to find though, and tehrte are some others out tehre so very similar- Gelert do a good variant.

Direct from Khyam

Sorry - I realise you said you wanted to see one up - doh!

Great price from Khyam though

I don't know, there were loads last year, they seem to be available through the Khyam website. I was looking earlier because I want a sun porch for ours. There were rumours on UKCampsites that they went into receivership?? But the website is up with 2010 products!

I've only managed to use it once last year, it stood up to wind and heavy rain in the Forest of Dean

The only possible downside for us is that in rain, it's hard to open the door without letting a little water in. That's a common issue with many tents tho, some do have a tiny built in covering over the doors. It's one reason I'm after a sun porch, if it's light rain we can leave the door open. If it's been raining heavily, opening the door is a bit easier.

The layout really worked for us and is very versatile. We can either have the kids opposite. Or you really can sleep 4 comfortably at one end, without being squished. The room per person is generous compared to some other tents.

I might have a photo of mine up if that helps as a start?

(ours is up with a sun porch mind so you'd need to imagine it without IYSWIM)

Can't see it Clarrissimo will Google Gelert-thanks
