New to Camping 3
Are Khyam tent products any good. Im thinking toilet tent and 3m square Dome storage tent. Im looking for the sort of tent that I dont need to swear at to erect!

The Khyam pole system is very easy to use and (if put up properly 
) very durable.

Re: New to Camping 3
Thanks Ian. The pole system looks good but I had a durability concern

Take the trouble to fasten a Khyam down properly and they're fine. The Motordome Classic correctly fits about 5" above the gutter line on a 25 and we've had ours for 6 years and the only thing we broke was a plastic guyline tensioner
You'll see the Khyam 'Exelsior' awnings sold off cheap 'cos they're too big to correctly fit to a T25 sized campervan and too downmarket for yer gin palace wallahs
... neither one thing nor the t'other if you see what I mean

Re: New to Camping 3
I broke my Motordome Tourer on the first outing. However I think when I'd had a practice run putting it up in the garden I hadn't read the instructions properly and didn't undo the knuckles correctly before dismantling it.

Re: New to Camping 3
We have a Motordome Tourer and can highly recommend it. And it really does take 15 minutes to put up/take down!
Admitedly we haven't used it with a T25 yet (as we still haven't bought one.... ) however we have used it several times with our 64 Eriba Pan and it works very well.
In the past we had one of the huge Kyham sleepovers (exactly the same as the Tourer but with a bedroom annexe attached) which was equally as good, although the bag when packed was very heavy to lug about, and probably too heavy to lift onto a roof rack. The tourer though is light enough to carry on your own.
