hi all we are looking for our first large family tent as we have only ever garden camped in families very old tents at parents.
We like the look and sound of the hi gear kalahari 10 - there are 8 of us, 2 adults and 6 kids who will be going kids age from 7 - 2yrs also 2 small dogs. does this sound too many for a 10 berth? as i know from lurking in here you are supposed to go bigger than your group but to be honest this is all new to me.
i want a tunnel tent as think that will be best esp to fit on pitch sizes and must have a SIG and pref some mesh doors.
also does anyone know where there are any of these in stock and the best deals. would love a footprint and carpet with it absolute max budget is £300 :-( and i have no idea of the best places to look and google brings up hundreds of pages..so very confusing
please help!

Can only say its a fab tent, as I bought one when it was on sale for £200 at Go Outdoors recently. Very spacious, although there is only 3 of us - would obviously seem more crowded with 8!!
any idea when they have sales at go outdoors? and is it worth getting one of their discount cards before getting the tent? hoping to go to the norwich one soon to look round x
I can HIGHLY recommend the Khyam Ontario 8 which measures 7.5m x 3.7m
It is a geniune 8 berth tent - it can comfortably accommodate 8 x 75cm wide airbeds in 3 bedrooms (2+2+4 berths) It is very easy to erect, spacious living area (3.7m x 3.2m), standing height throughout (225cm), SIG, tunnel design, 5000HH rating, large windows, groundsheet goes flat at the doors so no trip hazzard, cable entry point, door can be canopied out to form a porch 9king poles included), good ventilation.
All in all, a lot of tent for the money (RRP £225)
thanks helen will take a look at reviews and see what prices are like at mo.. think oh has got ghis heart set on 10 berth though, as we take the dogs too so that little bit more space.
hi kalahari 10 is a great tent ,got mine i the sale in august with foot print and carpet for £245 is gone up now ,so may be worth waiting fo it to come down (it will) ,call into the store now and then they might tell you when the sales are comming ,and check on line to the hi gear corrado 6 and 8 are massive too, might be worth keeping and eye on these to
Got mine instore. Just keep an eye out online, will tell you when sales are etc. I had never been to Go Outdoors before buying the tent, so had to pay the £4 for the discount card when I was in there.
They are on offer again from today - not showing on there website and ticket price instore is £399 but take it to the till and it goes though at £200 - i just managed to bag one at my local store,
Just give your local store a call and ask them to check the price on the till not the website
