Khyam Ontario 8 is a FABULOUS tent so I would say GET IT!!!!

What accessories are with it?

What year is the tent? Does it have 3 bedrooms (2+2+4) or 2 bedrooms (4+4)

If you bought everything new, the 2010 Ontario 8 XC can be found for around £200, footprint groundsheet is around £20 (we haggeld and paid cash and got the footprint thrown in for free), stove with grill can be bought for around £35, good quality kitchen stands are about £40 and a decent porta loo can be bought for £35.
Total brand new would be around £330.

I always aim to pay between 1/3 to 1/2 of the origianl selling price when buying second hand (depending on condition) so I would try and get the price down to around £120-£150
However if you know the seller and you know all the kit has been well looked after then I would say £180 isn't unreasonable.

There were a couple of Ontario 8s on eBay recently and you can often find stoves and porta loos cheaply on places like eBay or Freecycle and check your local newspapers too.

Because it is a tunnel tent the Ontario 8 is very easy to put up.

OH can almost do it solo and the 2 of us (me being a short, unfit mum of 3) can have it up and all kitted out within the hour (and I always take A LOT of stuff!!)
