I am confused - please can someone tell me what is a good practical 8 berth tent to buy without taking 6 hours to erect?!

take a look at the outwell hartford xxl

its got a very large living area with 4 seperate sleeping pods they are not cheap at £449 but they are well worth it

we are on our 3rd outwell now and the 1st 2 were the hartford xl and the xxl of which we still use

we are a family of 5 and a dog and it has got lots of room for us and it can also take the unpredictable british weather we have been caught out on 2 seperate ocasions with force 7 gales on the same campsite over looking the sea the tents had an absolute hiding the 3 outwell in our group on the last occasion were still standing with not even a cracked pole the rest of the site had a couple of awnings down and a few tents were flat so i can vouch for these tents they are made for the weather and for the room.

I recently got a brand new 2006 Wynnster Corvus 8, which I put up with the help of my 10 year old daughter in the garden in about 40 minutes first time round.  Only thing that would have added time on would be pegging all the guys out as I only did some but I think next time should be a bit quicker anyway as now I know how it goes up.

Here's a link

I asked if he could do me a better price and got a discount.

Depends if you want a SIG though, as this doesn't have one.

Khyam Ontario 8 is a fab tent and I can HIGHLY recommend it as can several other members on here.

* 7.5m x 3.7m so no problems fitting on a pitch
* very easy to erect (first time took us 45 minutes from start to finish)
* SIG
* standing height (225cm)
* groundsheet goes flat at doors so no trip hazzard
* large bedroom pods can comfortably accommodate 8 x 75cm wide airbeds
* massive living area
* huge windows with curtains and vents so plenty of light
* doors can be canopied out to form sun porch
* good ventilation

We paid £189 in 2007 and got the footprint groundsheet thrown in for free.
You can also buy carpet and porch to make it a real home from home.
