Hi all, well I have had a very enjoyable day looking around the net, comparing prices.

I have narrowed my long search down to just  2 tunnels, just wish my purse strings would stretch enough to buy them both!! I wish.Can anyone help me on times to put up these tunnel tents.

Royal Avignon 6 or the Khyam Colorado.

they would take the same sort of time, as they are the same design.  its the pegging out that takes the longest, (quicker if you take 2 mallets)

i reckon about 40 mins for a first time set up then maybe 30 mins after??

(im going on my old sunncamp tunnel tent, 4 poles, slightly smaller, 25 mins approx.

Hi,

We have got a khyam colorado the first time we put it up  it took about 30-40mins to put up, them 30mins to peg it BUT we cannot get the front to touch the floor we have tried several different ways we have contacted khyam and are waiting for a reply, so not sure if we have a faulty one or it is just extremely difficult. Shame as its a nice spacious tent.
