Hi,

We're looking to get a new tent and can't decide between the Meridian 8 or the Kalahri 8 (also considering the Horizon 8 and are open to suggestions....)

We bought the Coleman Coastline 6 last year and after a disastrous weekend away where it leaked and bit broke off we took it back and are yet to replace it.

I've done some research and come up with these 2 options and have since found out that the Kalahari is GoOutdoors own branded version of the Meridian. It has some differences though so we're still keeping it as an option. I've also read some reviews that said the Horizon is better than the Meridian so I was hoping some one here had some advice on which to choose. Or if you have either tent and would recommend it.

Looking to spend about £300 on the tent so any suggestions would be great!

Thanks

Katherine

Even better would be the Khyam Ontario 8 (not that I'm biased! )

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again

The kalahari 10 is on offer at Go Outdoors 2nd to 8th May for £250.

The kalahari 8 is £299 at the moment.

Unless you don't want the bigger model, I'd go for the 10 for £49 less.
