This tent was discontinued a few years ago and it's virtually impossible to find the bedroom pods now (Khyam don't have any - I emailed ages ago) and very few retailers stock Khyam stuff now (Somerset Camping and JR are about the only two now, aren't they?).
Think there's been a bit of demise of the big, spread domes. And this is one BIG spread dome! I seem to recall reading reports of leaking bedroom pod zips (might be worth doing a search on here for old threads?).
They used to do lots of extras for this tent, such as screen doors and porch inners (as per ebay link) and link attachments and sun canopies. A tent with single bedroom pod will still be a biggish tent, but the shape will mean it can still fit on a standard pitch (if pod is positioned opposite the porch doorway). Then again, it'll take a bit more pitching than a regular Khyam because each of the 4 x sides has a pole arrangement, where the pods can add on or for use as an extra doorway or attachment.
I guess the alternative is, you could maybe buy x 2 packages and a porch inner (if you can find one), then sell off the tent and inner but keep the additional pod? That might work out okay, since the package is selling at £199 and I think the pods were in excess of £100 each to buy separately, anyhow, so you'd probably end up breaking even by doing it that way. Just a thought.
Let us know how you get on, and best of luck!
