Hi Andy.
I love the Idea of building an extention

---

Given your comments above (which are sound), I guess you have a choice between spending £200 on an Indianna, or double than, £400 on a XXL Classic.

At the lower end of your budget, there are other tents like the Indianna (vis-a-vis tunnel with removeable groundsheet), but given you know the Indianna and it has a darn good reputation, you might as well stick with that.

As to £200 or £400.... mmmm, your call.

If you decide to save the other £200, then I would say - go for it, and buy the Indianna (you have beds, cooker, lights to buy etc. and that would take up teh £200).

Spending £400 would be a bit more dificult for me, as there are a lot of other good tents for that kind of money - Montanas, SunnValleys, Outwell Indiannas, Aspens, Havens, Nebraskas, Antares... and more. And I have always viewed the QE kyhams as lacking in windows (but then I have not owned one, so it might be an incorrect comment).

However, I come back to your earlier comment about "putting it up single handed" - if this is still a "must have" requirement, then yep spend £400 on the Kyham; if not, I would be tempted just to have another look a few top end tents.

So back to the first question - want to spend £200 or £400?

We have the Khyam classic and would not swap it for the world. Easy to put up I even think I could manage without the  hubby if need be. 

ANDYPANDY 666 is that the ennexe fastened on to your tent in the pics. It looks bigger than the pictures on the kyham site.

And update.
After much gnashing of teeth I
Have decided to go for the khyam.
My reasons.
1. one handed erection.
2. They look sturdy enough to settle the OH's nerves
3. I've just booked our first trip, and
it is to wet wet Wales
4. I'm very irresponsable with money
5. I like the idea yo can extend it
Wish me luck

Excellent. Have fun with it.

Always best to get what you really want, otherwise you spend too much time going "if only...I wonder...". So good call sir.
