Hi,

I have recently taken my first camping trip and loved it so much I now want to upgrade from my 4 berth tent/ 2 night stay to an 8 berth/ 1 week stay.

After much searching my eyes landed on the Khyam Indiana 8.  I was all set to start the price search for this tent when I noticed a listing recommending the Ontario 8.

Can anyone tell me what the main difference is between the two and also what is SIG I've seen it mentioned a couple of times but don't know what it is - I'm hoping its not something too obvious that I should have picked up on myself.

Cheers, Glenogue

Katie, 

Thanks for the reply.  I had just worked out the SIG question after reading more postings but the info on the ontario is really useful. I had all but decided on the indiana but will need to give more thought to the ontario now.

Congrats on your latest arrival!

Cheers, Glenogue

Thanks p2ent,

I had found the Kansas 8 on the outdoor megastore site - good to know that it is the same as the Ontario 8.  Most sites seem to be selling it for £199 so to have the roller bag thrown in is the best offer so far.

I read a posting where an Ontario 8 owner mentioned putting a ground sheet down first even though the Ontario has a SIG - is this just to keep the SIG clean?

Cheers, Glenogue
