My sister is trying to sell me her tent (when I'm busy eyeing up the Vango Samara). She's had it 'a good few years' but only used it once but she doesn't know what it was, so I'm hoping someone to help me. She's willing to sell it for £100 WITH kitchen, chairs, table, lanterns, double mattress, saucepans etc etc - so a great bargain, but won't enjoy it if the tent is rubbish!

It's in a purple holdall with handles and looks like the tent itself is purple as well. The instructions just say 'two bedroom family dome tent' - no name or model. She said it has two double bedrooms, with a space in between where her teenager used to sleep when he was younger - but that wasn't the main living area, which is in front with a porch bit with enough space to have kitchen, table & chairs etc.

I know I could put it up to see if I like it, but as it's only been used once I'd like to be able to read reviews to find out if I can trust it in all weather conditions, also if any bits need replacing...Does it sound familiar to anyone?

Thank you in advance

Kyham used to make purple coloured tents that were quick erect. Not enough info really to say any more.

I had no idea what the tent was but just browsing on Ebay (as you do) and found this one. It does have some similarities to what you describe.

Thank you both - that's given me some ideas. I'm hoping the rain will hold off long enough to put it up, and then I can see if it matches the aztec palacio or an older kyham model, thanks. Apparently she paid almost £500 for it and used it for one weekend only!

I do still kind of want to Vango Samara though...maybe this could be the spare or for when we go camping in bigger groups...hmm...

We've bought it now anyway as we wanted the kitchen unit, mattress, folding chairs, saucepans, lanterns, etc so now just to see if it's any good - if I work out what it is or was I'll let you know!

Thanks again x x

It certainly sounds like a Khyam not sure any Aztec tents would have cost that much.
