We are very excited as we've just bought a Khyam XL Classic today.  We tried camping earlier this week in torrential rain & gales (in a shared tent).  We've bitten the bullet and bought our own today.  Camping in the gardent tonight!  Managed to erect this by myself whilst OH sat on patio sipping beer.  Hopefully will get a little faster with practice but can really recommend the Khyams as being quick & easy.  Let's hope we still have 5 happy campers in the morning!

Glad to hear that you decided to get your own tent and good luck for tonight, might be a little cold, but it should stay dry.

Hi Fee4gg

Welcome to the Forums - its always exciting when you get your first tent and I am sure you will have a great time in it tonight in the garden.

Kyham's are really nice tents and renowned for their ease of erection.

I hope you have many great camping trips with your new tent.

Ah memories of that first time in a new tent makes me all nostalgic.  Welcome to the most addictive holiday experience ever and I hope you have years of happy camping to come.

Good Luck

Hi,

We had a Khyam XL Classic and enjoyed the tent and the ease to pitch it. We just outgrew it.

Happy camping
