Ticks the boxes i would say.

Would have bought one myself recently but timing was all wrong for us.

My sister got this Easycamp Topeka 800 about 2 weeks ago, I was mostly struck by how massive the living area is, and I also liked that it has a 'master bedroom' with it's own exit.

The HH isn't really a marketing gimmick, it's there as a guide to the minimum 'waterproofness' that you'd want to accept. A 2000 HH is about the least you'd want, and if a tent said 1500 HH (like Halfords tents) you wouldn't want to touch them with a barge pole. It rains too much in this country to accept less than the minimum standard.

I have a quechua with a 5000HH and a Vango with the 2000HH and you can really feel the difference.

I have a wynnster raven 8 which is huge  plus it as a 5000hh if you read much into it.

somerset camping do some great deals on wynnster products the new wynnster 8 berth is only 179.99

might be worth a look

I can highly recommend the Khyam Ontario 8

Very easy to pitch - only 5 poles
Genuine 8 berth - can accommodate 8 x 75cm wide airbeds
SIG (sewn in groundsheet - keeps bugs/draughts out and toddlers in!)
Standing height throughout (225cm)
Cable entry point
Groundsheet goes flat at the doors so no trip hazzard
Large windows
Good ventialtion
5000HH rating
Spacious living area (3.7m x 3.2m)
Fits on standard pitch (7.5m x 3.7m)
3 bedrooms - 2 x 2 berth and 1 x 4 berth which can be divided
Costs around £220

You can buy carpet and sun canopy to turn it into a real home from home.

Have you looked at a Gelert Tahoma 9?  We`ve had one for a couple of years - only £200 and its been to northern spain for 2 weeks plus numerous weekend in wales and the lakes.  Its never leaked and has a good living area inside for rainy nights.  Takes about 40mins and 2 people to put up.

Worth a look.
