Hi, we have worn out one of our tents and we are after a replacement for it. It is to replace a Khyam Biker tent. We would like a tent the same size (classed as 3-4 people I think), dome shaped (not a tunnel tent) but then with a large porch on one end. NOT a tall tent (we have another tall one) but would like a sewn in ground sheet. We have looked at the new style Khyam Biker and it is perfect in every way apart from the ground sheet is separate. Any suggestions anyone please?

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions but from what I can see none of them have a sewn in groundsheet.

Not many of the low height domes have a fully sewn in groundsheet in the living area.

Yeah this is what we've found. I think we may go for another Khyam Biker in the end 😁

Quechua do, Slumit do;some do as add ons, but they can be made for next to nothing in minutes, I wouldn't decide a tent on thatfact alone?*

Thank you for your suggestions. We are very happy with the khyam biker we have had but wanted something practically the same shape/size but with a SIG. We do not want a tunnel type or a cotton type one so will probably go for another biker tent. Thanks for the suggestions.

As I've said.....thanks for your suggestions! Although I am a little confused by it. I've looked at the vango xd tent and it looks like a tunnel tent shape as opposed to a dome shape and I can't see that it has a SIG. Can you post a pic of the one you mean.

Thanks....I've checked this tent out and it's not really what we want. We need something slightly larger with a large porch for storage. We already have a tent about this size (terranova)
