Hi all, am looking at buying this tent but am a little unsure of the bedroomlayout. From what I can gather it s one 4 man room and two 2 man rooms. Does anyone have this tent to advise if this is right? Are the two 2 man rooms seperate or can they be combined into a 4 man if needed?

I was also looking at the hi-gear kalahari any views on this tent?

Cheers Any help or thoughts on either would be appreciated.

Yes you are right, done a bit more digging and it looks like pre 2009 models were 3 bedroom and this years have been altered to 2 bedroom.

Cheers for that

Hi

I have been looking at exactly the same tents. From what I have seen and read I think the Kyham Ontario 8 seems like a better tent, although thats just my opinion !. Also the Kalahari only has a Hydrostatic Head of 3000, whilst the Kyham is 5000.

The only thing i am note sure about is this curtain divider thing, does it fully seal off each room, or is it just flapping around ?

We have a 2007 Ontario 8 which has the 3 bedroom pods.
There are 2 seperate 2 man pods and a larger 4 berth pod which can be divided with a curtain. I actually found the curtain to be quite good - it attatches with toggles top and bottom and didn't flap around. The pods can comfortably accommodate 75cm wide airbeds.

Absolutely fabulous tent!!
