Hi there

please advise...  

generally are Vango and Khyam of similar quality?

both OK?

preference and reason?

cheers

I'd have to say Vango, tent has always been completely reliable and stood up to the most horrendous weather in Devon couple of years ago. Torrential rain, gales, locust plagues!! (Have had no experience with Khyam though) but think I'll always stay with VANGO - think they prob come in a bit cheaper than Khyam too.

PS: ours is 3000 HH - never had any trouble with leaking.

Hope this helps

I think I currently own seven Vangos. Nothing against Khyams, but I just can't imagine buying anything else.

All the different models have their pros and cons though. The Khyam fast erect systems are amazing, for example, but they are quite bulky when packed. Vango does a wider range of styles. Khyams have 5000HH (some of them) and most Vangos are 3000HH...but as 1500HH is the UK minimum, they both are well above standard.

Just don't buy a Khyam folding windbreak. Most expensive piece of useless tat I've ever fallen for.....

We now have a Khyam but it hasn't really been tested yet. Fairly happy although I get the feeling these days all the brands are manufactured in the same factories in China. Look at the Gelert, Vango, Sunncamp, Khyam and Outwell porches that can be bought, the design is virtually identical.

Generally you get what you pay for, but I reckon buying direct from a reputable supplier is more important as if/when something goes wrong they usually are more helpful than faceless websites IMHO.

Good luck
