There don't seem to be many fans of the Khyam on this site.  I'm looking for opinions on the XXL Classic as I'm looking for a tent I can put up single handed. I like the vis-a-vis layout and like the idea of a tent i can pitch quickly for shorter trips.  Although in the main it will be accommodation for three (2 children 1 adult) there may be occasions when OH will be able to join us.

I quite fancy joining a UK Camp Site rally next weekend (bank holiday) so need to get a move on: there is no way I can errect my Diablo 900 single handed!

i am looking at this tent too, and will be very interested to read the replies. We went into camping and general, our local camping store today to look at it and get a demo and advice.

They said it would take about 25mins to fully pitch including inners. Can anyone confirm this?

Any bad points?

I can confirm that the Khyam xxl is a brilliant tent, went camping in cromer last week, really strong wind's and it withstood all that was thrown at it (force 8), many tent's on site were flattened.  Takes about 20 minute's to erect but then it's the pegging out that take's the time, if done correctly. Three of us struggled to collapse the tent upon leaving, in a force 8 gale.

Hi,

We had a khyam XL Classic, which only has the one bedroom pod, but the living area is essentially the same size as the XXL. This was very easy to put up and could be done single handed as all of the main poles that form the central part are the ones already connected, you just have to put the joins into place and position the legs.

I really liked our Khyam.

I hope that this helps a bit.
