Thanks.  I am a bit confused about SIGs, can you explain please?

SIG = Sewn In Groundsheet throughout. Usually those without (like the tent you're looing at) have seperate, removable groundsheets in the living areas but sewn-in in the bedrooms. It all depends on personal preference, without means extra ventilation and easier cleaning, plus being able to lift the groundsheet enables the grass to breathe, etc. However, SIG's are fully sewn in, living area and all. Advantages are no bugs, no water seepage and extra warmth but downsides are they can get rather hot without adequate ventilation and are a bit of a sod to keep clean.

If it's a full SIG you're after, the Khyam Kansas 8 is an excellent buy (it's what we've got), it's only £199, fully sewn in plus lots of bedroom options plus optional extras you can buy to add to it. Here's a link http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1428744-10475506?url=http://www.outdoormegastore.co.uk/acatalog/Khyam_Family_Tents_30.html#a3167

Happy hunting!

Thank you! - for a while I whought that it wasn't sewn in into the bedroms!  brrrr.  The no bugs thing in the living area sounds like a big bonus - the children tend to go a bit crazy if we have to share with too many creatures (and the baby would eat them)...  the search continues.....
