We have been looking at these two tents recently, although we've only seen the Sunncamp 800 actually up. If anyone has one of these, are you happy with it? Or if you have seen both, how do they compare? I liked the size of the living area as we're looking to use it for family holidays and weekends away.

I have been thinking about both of these for next year amongst others.
The indiana would be ideal for us but NO SIG.
I have seen the Haven 600 up and was impressed with the room, set up and how light it was within. It is also possible to get the extended porch as an option. Like yourself I would need the larger 800. Have to say though I am not too sure about the wind stability of such a large tunnel and this would be a key factor for me.
Would be interested to hear owner experiences of the Sunncamp Havens.
we purchased a Indiana 8 last year and like you we want it for weekends and family holidays. we have two young children and they are able to have a very spacious room each.
We are very happy with our tent and it is so easy and quick to put up, however i could not compare it to the other as i have not seen it.
We have the Indy and absolutely love it. We have two children who love the luxury of a large bedroom each and we have a huge one! Good head height too and nice sized living space.
We have camped in some very strong winds, especially this year in Cornwall, and stability has never been and issue, stood firm, no problems!
I don't find the lack of a groundsheet a problem either, it is a very cosy tent.

May I make a suggestion that as you seem happy with the Haven 800, if you can not see an Indianna, you go with the Haven. Tents are never the same as in the photos, and much as the indianna has an excellent reputation, it is always better to go with somehting you have actually seen and are happy with.

ps: if you want to look at an alternative to the Kyham Indianna, have a look at the Vango TBS tents (Vista and Oregon), they are similar in set up to the Indianna and with good reputations.
