Have bought a Khyam Ontario 8 and off for the first time to camp with two of my sons. Never put a large tent like this up before and will feel a lot more confident if I have been able to view a video of this tent or a very smiliar tent (poles and sleeves?) being erected. Especially as wife refuses to camp and oldest son on this trip is only 8 years old. Does anyone know of such a video available on the internet? Very much appreciate the link.

Great choice of tent!!! We have the same one and absolutely love it.

Although it is quite large, it's actually relatively easy to put up.
I don't know of any links to actually see it being erected but here are some easy to follow instructions:

Basically you start by spreading the flysheet out and peg one end down to stop it blowing away. 
Next place the poles into the correct sleeves (it's all colour coded so you can't go wrong) with it all still lying on the ground and push the pins into the end of each pole.

Starting at the opposite end to the one you pegged down, pull the tent out (like a giant concertina) until it's standing up.

Then it's just a case of pegging and guying out, hanging the inner tents and moving your gear in!!

This can all be done on your own but it's better if you have another pair of hands.

Hope that helps - enjoy!!

There are a couple of similar type tent videos here , the vango albany and the nevada L, tunnel tents pole and sleeve , just a bit smaller than your khyam . but they show a different way of pitching to the way helen describes.
I have a couple of large tunnel tents and I prefer to pitch them the way helen describes too .

Thanks Debbie. Looked at video and it was useful to give me some feel of the task ahead. I think I will follow you and Helen and pitch tent as Helen described. Thanks to all for your help.

You've probably got this, but Khyam Raven 8 Pitching Instructions

Same as the Ontario 8.

Helen has got the pitching spot on. Just concertina it out. It really is a simple tent to put up.

It's also a brilliant tent, so enjoy it.
