I got 1 of these and well what can I say. It's easy to put up or down and as for space wow where did that lot come from. When you leave the 2 smaller rooms out you need a mobile to speak to person at other side lol
Overall I'd recommend this to any person you won't be disappointed

We love this tent. 2 adults, 2 kids and the dog all fit in no problem.
We have the added luxury of the carpet and the sun porch (the newer style with the door) which are absolutely fantastic and highly recommended. We use the sun porch as a kitchen and one of the bedroom pods as a bathroom/changing room - what luxury. We have repacked it in its originally bag 3 times, and although tight it is possible.

We have just returned from a holiday in Cornwall. Myself, partner and two teenage girls spent a week in this tent. Weather at times was very wet and windy and the tent was wonderful.
Took less that half an hour to get the tent up and secured then another half hour to fit the insides properly.
The tent is huge, plenty of space for us all. We used one of the pods for a storage/ changing area.
I would highly recommend this tent to any family.
I love it

Have looked through some of the different reviews here and the only 2 things I disagree on are putting the tent up and packing it away. I found putting the tent up pretty easy and quick, the only time taking bit is the pegging it out and getting it perfectly pitched out otherwise it was easy and I was able to near enough do most of it on my own. Packing the tent up is a little tricky at first but once you have done it a couple of times it gets easy. If you are having problems though then you can always buy a bigger tent bag one on wheels.
We bought a new car for our whole camping holiday adventures so decided to buy a new tent to go with it, we had a Coleman trailblazer before, which was a good tent but drafty due to the porch not being connected to the flysheet. So we took a trip down to a large camping store we sometimes use (camping intl) we looked about for a reasonably large tent for under £200 that had a all in one ground sheet and flysheet so to stop drafts. Found the Khyam Ontario 8 and decided it was great for what we needed as our family seems to be getting bigger and the tent would be perfect for a todler eventually to run around in. The great thing was the price, all the other tents of the same size were about £300 plus whereas we managed to get this one for just under £200 so far no problems with the tent, it's great we even bought a hoover for it so to keep it clean and dirt free! will be buying the carpet for it this year too and maybe a few other extras, just the whole flysheet connected to the ground sheet is superb, we had some bad weather last year in the New Forest but all rain and large puddles around the tent didn't get through and the cold was kept at bay by not letting the drafts in.

We found this a fantastic tent, had smaller ones before with no room to stand etc, but there is enough room in this for 2 adults and 3 kids to all stand and sit in just the living area! We have a table / chairs and stove and side table out in our one so it really is like a home from home. Really easy for my partner and I to put up even in the wind, but trickier to take down in strong wind, last time we went it was like we were flying the tent as a kite, but once down and folded each time we've managed to get it into the original bag with all the bits inside too. Very compact folded for 8 berth tent. Very good price too was on special so was less than £200, would like the carpet though havent got that yet as does get cold on ground, however no rain gets in at all even in really bad weather, superb!

2 adults 2 teenagers
First tent we have owned And we LOVE it! Plenty of room, bought an awning and carpet this made it very comfortable. The awning was great for cooking and leaving wet boots etc. The carpet made it snug and protected the groundsheet. Couldn't get it back in the bag though!

We love this tent. We are a family of 5 (3 children under 12yrs). There is lots of space in sleeping areas and more than enough space in the living area, even with all three bedrooms being used. Fairly straight forward to erect (a min of 2 adults) took us about 40mins. We managed to put back into the bag.1st time too! Lots of extras to buy ie ground sheet, carpet, sun porch and wind breakers.
Great value for money.
This tent is perfect for our needs, long weekends away with family and friends.

I have just bought the 2008 model and I love it. We have just come back from a weekend away. There were 8 of us. 4 Children in the big main pod and 2 adults in each of the 2 small pods.
The tent was very quick to erect. We also bought the sun porch which took longer to erect than the main tent!
It rained overnight on our first night and there were no leaks. The bedroom pods are roomy I love the standing height.
I would recommend this tent to anyone. Hubby even managed to get it back into the bag on the first attempt!

Bought this tent yesterday and put it straight up when we got home. Can't believe how easy this tent was to put up - took us about 40 mins without properly reading the instructions and just going from the basic instructions from the salesman!
We slept well - only woken by the dawn chorus at 4am! But can't blame the tent for that.
We bought the extra ground sheet as well (to help protect the SIG from stones and mud), but found it useful to show where the tent was going to fit in the garden.
Have already booked our first trip next weekend.

Excellent Tent. Love the sowed inner floor, easier to put up and warmer too.
I am such a dumbo when it comes to tents, but this one for the size of it, is so easy to put up.
We got back from a weekend away and one morning was heavy rain and very windy, the tent managed that very well, no leakages.
We used it a few times last year too.
We cant wait to go again, lovely spacious tent. We use the main pod, 1 king size bed and 1 double bed, both fit easy.
