Hi, I want to get a day tent. The height inside is fine on all of them but wondered if any have better door height. If anyone has any experience of the difference between them it would be great to hear.

You're right to think about this, some of the ones we've seen have very low doorways which nearly decapitate my OH who is 6ft 2!

Our Sunncamp dayroom has a pretty good door height compared to some, most people will need to duck to walk under it though but it's not as bad as many we've seen (IIRC the Khyam was very low). I can nearly stand under the rolled up door and I'm 5ft 3.

Thanks Piglet. I quite like the look of the Outwell Oklahoma, I wonder if that is similar head hight to the Sunncamp.

Hi JKC400

You don't say what you want to use it for and obviously this determines the type.
I have had one of these for a while. http://www.outdooraction.co.uk/acatalog/KHYAM_DAY_TENT__2007_.html
We use it as a kitchen and the height is fine for my 6'1" hubby. It does slope at the back but it has served us well it holds all our kitchen equipment i.e. double cooking stand, wash stand etc. I even have a chair in there so I can sit while I'm waiting for the kettle to boil.

I'm sure there are plenty of places still selling these!

This is mine which we use as a kitchen tent. I'm about 5'9" and I think I just have to nod my head a little when entering; once inside it is very airy. A friend who recently camped with me and is 6' 1" didn't seem to struggle getting inside.
