Khyam Compact 300

Post by ronburgundy »

Evening all

I am thinking of buying one of these:
http://www.khyam.co.uk/detail.asp?p=757

Seems incredibly good value, just wondered if anyone has any experience of this model?

Many thanks in advance!

That's what I thought - it concerns me when brand new models are that cheap! Makes me think they are of poorer quality than the more tried and tested awnings such as yours Keith.

Just about to get the credit card out and thought I would canvas opinion!

I'm not sure if this is true ,but i read that Khyam had gone into receivership and would effect the manufactures warranty ..

I maybe wrong and wouldn't be the first time ...

Khyam are still in business both in France & the UK. They were in trouble for a while but no specific info appears to be available either on their website or elsewhere.
