We bought a new tent the other week, after careful consideration bought the Khyam cleveland 6. We went away in it last weekend, and was very pleased with the quality and feel of it. The only downside is the fact there are no tidy pockets for the inside of the tent. So, whilst searching the internet, found the khyam website, and discovered that they dont answer questions via email or phone - you have to speak to a stockist....but no one seems to know if there are storage pockets for the cleveland - i can have a footprint groundsheet, a nice fleecy carpet and a lovely sun canopy.............but no where to store my suncream or latest dan brown novel!! Any suggestions? I have seen the little pyramid storage things, but wondered if anyone has adapted any thing for their cleveland 6?
------------- why haven't they invented silent opening zips??!!

Just got home from our 6th trip in new Khyam Cleveland, and we LOVE it!
Agree about the lack of hanging pockets, but we resolved this with £1 shoe tidiers from Poundland, use Clingons from tent roof to hang against bedroom pod...perfect, and they even colour coordinate!
And Barry, I so agree, we seem to be the only people on here with Clevelands and yet it's been updated and re-issued this year.
One thing we have noticed, without trying to gloat, is that on-site everyone admires it as they walk past or watch us set up.
Last weekend, we had people come over and say how easy we made it look to set up and that they'd like one and our neighbours (in a caravan) said it was "The Rolls Royce of tents".
Tried to be modest but OH whispered, "Admit it, you're over the bloody moon!".
As a retailer i can use any tent i like but i have to say im a big fan of the Cleveland 6. The double layer of fabric over the living area keeps it cooler than most polyester tents. The polycotton inners are cooler and the fabric seems to last longer for some reason...
Well done the two of you, great choice..
Re clingons. We have used them on our tent display now and then and they are good.

Are you sure Khyam don't do customer service any more? They were ever so helpful last year when my OH managed to turn my brand new Highlander inside out. And a couple of years ago when my daughter borrowed the Ridgidome and managed to pop the bits out of the top.
Sure? No, but when I rang them about a tensioned pole that had broken on 1st trip they referred me to tentspares. Fortunately outdoorworld (who are local) repaired it for free (I had bought it from them a week before).
