We're getting close to making a decision on a tent...

I really like the size, bedroom height, and price/value of the Indiana 8. My wife's quite keen on a 'porch' - I'm not so bothered; how do Indiana 8 owners 'cope' without a porch e.g. when it's raining or for cooking etc...

Re. Arizona - it has a porch, but bedrooms a tad smaller (might make the difference of being able to get two air beds in smaller bed rooms - but not v.important).
Can anyone state height of Arizona bedrooms?
Does the Arizona back door roll up or 'pole out' like the indianas?

I would go for the KYHAM. We had a Kyham Espace and thought, no knew, that it was a brilliant tent.

We had 2 inner tents that could sleep 4, and had enogh room for all the items such as 3way fridge, suitcase, pushchair, roofbox and 3 chairs, we could've parked our car in it and still have room to eat and sleep.

Without a doubt if we had to go back to a tent I would go for a Kyham. It's so easy to erect and pack away. KYHAMS win hands down

Thanks.  Both these tents were formerly 'campus', although made by the mother company Khyam, now campus tents have been brought back into the 'Khyam' fold as their not-so-quick-erect pole and sleeve tents.

I'm probably just being indecisive over the Khyam (Campus) indiana and arizona - I suppose it would help if we could see them in the flesh, or should that be polyester...

We have an Indiana 8 tent that we have not used but seems a good family size tent with plenty of room.  Unfortunately our car is no longer big enough for us to go camping!!!  so up for sale. Seemed like a good idea at the time

I have exactly the same dilemma!

Trying to decide between Khyam Arizona or Indiana 8.  Which did you go for?  Does the Indiana have more height in the inners, but masybe less in the living area?

A possible alternative to the Arizona seems to be the Wynnster Mercury 9 (basic or excel).  Did you compare the quality of Wynnster to Khyam?

Kram117 - have you sold your tent?!
