Khyam motordome sleeper

Post by janieh »

Hi All

I'm thinking of getting a Khyam motordome sleeper awning and was wondering if anyone has one and what they think? They look quite big but I like the idea of the amount of space they have for table and chairs, even if the bedroom pod is up.

cheers.

ooh, thanks Steve. Good to know you're opinion. We've got a little one now (she's just 7 months) and it's going to be our first camping trip with her over easter. Can't wait!

Great, had one 9 years and still have it. Do not buy the Excelsior which is too big for a T25 and too small for a gin palace .... hence they are often on offer and seem cheap Image

We've got one of these and its great - goes up quickly and loads of space. The one thing I would recommend is to get the optional tube & clamp fitting to attach the awning to the gutter of your van, as i found the figure 8 connectors blew off in high winds.

Good to know. I think we'll get one of these then. Just regarding the fitting to the van - our van has came with a Fiamma sun canopy and I believe that there is a groove in this that we can use to attach the awning to. I think this is different from the figure of 8 connectors isn't it?
