I too have just ordered Khyam Ontario 8 with ground sheet and the sun canopy. What a relief after dithering about which tent for weeks!

With 2 adults and 3 children we had outgrown our gelert vario 5. I then thought the Outwell Montana 12 looked good - but threads about leaks put me off and it was really too expensive for us. However viewed the Khyam Indiana (which is same as ontario without SIG)  and it will be plenty big enough for us and much easier to pitch - the estimated time in the booklet is 25 mins  - how realistic is this!

Hey camper333,

Congrats again!  The 25 minutes was what convinced us in the first place - we'd been looking at the Wynnster Mercury 9 Excel (basically a large dome with 2 tunnels for sleeping and a big porch) but wanted something we could put up quickly!  We're novice, lightweight weekend campers with a toddler so honestly, if we can do it, anyone can! 

Took us about 30 minutes in the garden on Wednesday afternoon, including time off to chat to our mates - of course, given that the tent is pretty much the same size as our garden, we didn't peg it out properly or attach any of the guys, so there's another 20-30 mins there, but that doesn't really count

Everything fitted together really easily, and we even managed to get it back in the bag again afterwards...although that was the hardest part!

There's a video on the Khyam website of the Indiana being erected which gave us a reasonably good idea of what we were doing before we started...but then, we are total novices and had never put up a proper tent togeter before...you'll be just fine!!

Enjoy!
