THE KHYAM
RANGE
The introduction of new models including rucksacks and sleeping bags has allowed the KHYAM
range to evolve into 7 basic categories.
BACKPACKING
RANGE
The bockpocking range · Vector,Brecon,N imbus and Trekker all operate on the double joint system. This gives o much
smaller packed length and still maintains the ease and speed of erection.
TOURING
RANGE
The Highlonder,Nimrod, lgloo,Troveller and Explorer ore all suited to touring. These designs g ive generous
accommodation and fit into compact carry bogs, easily transportable on motor cycles or in the boot of a cor.
FAMILY
RANGE
The larger Family domes · Trooper 2,Trooper 4, Vis a Vis, Super Vis A Vis, Megadome 2, Megodome 4 , and Ultradome
hove become increasingly popular.
These models, being much larger than the Touring and Backpocking ranges do take o little longer to erect, however,
being family tents there will always be more than one person to help. All the models in the Family range can be erected
in under two minutes by two people.
GAZEBO
In line with all our other innovative ideas we hove now extended the KHYAM technology to "Gazebos"
The KHYAM Gazebo is o highly versatile lightweight and quick erect general purpose shelter ideal for many outdoor
events such as barbecues and garden parties.
ACTIVITY
RANGE
The activity range focuses on two areas- fishing and shooti ng.
The Corpmoster 1 and Corpmasler 2 fishing shelters offer comfortable acco~modotion for the overnight fisherman. Inner
tents ore large enough la take bedchoirs, with the Carpmasler 2 giving generous space for two bedchoirs side by side.
The Shooting Hide is o versatile q uick erect hide suitable not only for stalking and shooti ng but also birdwotching and
photography.
EQ UIPMENT
RANGE
To complement our extensive range of tents we hove now added three specialist sleeping bags and Four rucksacks.
The sleeping bogs consist of three 'M ummy' style bogs which co n be zipped together. Two of the bogs use synthetic
filling w hilst the Polar 4 uses on 80/20 down and feather mix. All bags are very lightweight a nd are easily packed into
co mpact carry socks for ease of transit. Depending on your rucksack requirements you can choose from two doy socks or
two fully adjustable rucksacks. Both adjustable rucksacks offer integra l ra in / air transit covers as well os full strap and
ca pacity adjustment.

FUTURA
CARAVAN
AWNINGS
The KHYAM FUTURA Caravan Awning has been designed
specifically to give you years of carefree caravanning.
lt is quick, light and spacious and con be erected in under 5 minutes
by virtue of it' s unique cantilever pole system and zipped kader
gusset.
As the zipped kader gusset is separate from the main
awning it con be positioned and pegged down with the minimum of fuss.
The main body of the owning is then zipped onto the caravan in seconds using a
hook pole to assi st in zipping along the top of the awning.
The pole system consists of 4 fibreglass sections hinged around 5 injection moulded joints which will
lock in one o f three positions by inserting o tapered locking pin.
The structure is supported by o telescopic pole on either side of the awning. The pole
system is an integral part of the awning and therefore never needs to be removed from
the "Tencate" acrylic canvas. If req uired further support con be provided by internal poles
which clip directly to the owning itself. There is no need for fixings on the caravan
itself which could damage the outer skin. Storm guys con be
fixed directly to the external
pole system creating a
very sturdy structure.
W ithout the need for
bulky steel poles and
brackets the FUTURA
Awning con be packed into one bag.
However, separate bogs ore provided for
ea se of carrying.

to the buyer's statutory rights. Warranty is valid provided that the KHYAM tent is
used under normal conditions for the spedfied purpose anti that the instructions

This guarantee does not cover faults caused by abuse, misuse, negligence or

contact your stockist from whom you mode your purchase.
Except for the limited warranty stated above, KHYAM Leisure Limited and it's
registered deolers ore without any further liability including, but not limited to,
consequential damages.
The -ights, sius, plans and colours in this fwochure are given as an indication
and ore only approximate. KHYAM reserves the right to alter specifications os
considered necessary without prior notice.
Over the years we have heard many questions and comments
relating to KHYAM tents and we feel it is relevant to list various
aspects of this information for your guidance
Q, With a synthetic Rysheet will the tent suHer from
condensation ?
A. All synthetic fabrics suffer a certain degree ol condensation. To help
reduce this all KHYNv\ tents have ventilation in both the rnner tents and the
flysheels. Vents in the inners ore situated in the roof and on oH doorways. Vents
in the llyshoot ore in the top of the ~yshool and are protAC:tP.d by a large lop
cop
As air flows over the tap o1 the !lysheer I nolura ly draws air up througn the vent
-cm nside the 'ent This no•ural How of air con be controlled oy opening Of
icily closrng the "'o·n doors of rhe inrer rent Mesh doors con be kep:
closed o owing movement ol air but prevenfng insects from ente·rng ·he inrer
tent.
When ambient conditions ore damp and humid 11 is very difficult 'o prevent
condensation, but this should only form on the inside of the flysheet and no' the
inner tent 1\ny condensation dripping from the inside of the flysheet should not
penetrate the semi·proofed inners.
What about the strength and durability of the poles &
ioints · can I trust them ?
Q,
In simple te~ms yP.s you con trus· ·he poles and jorrls The technology has
exrsted for several years. The main po es ore stronger than those norma ly
supplied wrth dome 1ents os ours ore solid f·breg ass os opposed to hollow
fibreglass. They ore oonoed into tne joints whrch ore moulded from nylon with
gloss filling whrch odds hardness to the nylon. The rrvets ore brass and the
springs ore stain ess stce .
A
Q, Do poles or ioints break · and if so what can I do ?
A . it is rare that the poles or joints brook wheri used according to our
instructions. They ore extremely durable ond have been tested to exacting
standards. We cannot guaran:ee lhat there will never be a breakage, but we
n guarantee tho• we will wpply any replocemerts required dur'ng the
rrcnty per ad Shwd you need to rectify o problem then po es are quickly
replaced from hub 10 foo·. ij you are travelling to remo·e ports ol the worlo then
spo·es ore available to lake vJitn you c l o substdrsed ro·e 10 allow you the
comfort of insurance withou great pena ty. Please contact your stoc!US·.
Q,
What about spares · can I get them ?
A,
Yf!S,
spor~s should normally be available from your stockist. In case of
difficulty you may contact us directly.
Q, Are KHYAM tents waterproof?
A . All KHYAfv\ llysheet fabrics ore coated lo withstand in excess of lOOcm
head of water in the hydrosfotic head rest This is a measure by which we can
teSI the resis·ance 1o water penetration. This s the measurement when the fabric
is new ln use. ove· o period of time this level wi drop. However llysheet
fabrics con eostty oe reproorea.
Untaped seams on our IE~nls reqJire treatment wtrh seam sealant whrch IS
provided Unlike nature fabrics. which recover oher sewing, synthetic fabt'ics
do not. his therefore necessary to apply the sealant before you use the ten•.llis
con be done by simpry putling the tent up, removing the inner tent, and by
using ~~e opplicator, moisten the tip and apply down the inside of the main
seams on the flysheet. it is important to pay special attention to the hanging
points from wh ich the mner tent is suspended ensuring they ore totally sealed la
prevent any wicking. On no account should the zips on the Hysheet or inner tent
be sealed. On certain models you wrl notrce tho1 some o1 the main seams have
been tape sealed and do not require further treatment AJow at least 48 hours
for the sealant to cure. The ten• must NEVER be packed away un~l -ne sealant
s completely dry.
Q,
How we// will the tent perform in the wind ?
A
KHYAM tenrs have proven on many occasions tha· they perform
exceptionally well in wiMy conditions. The major factor is how well the user
'pegs' the tent la the ground. In severe condrtions we recommend the use of
'KHYAM Storm Guys' which hove been specially designed for use with
KHYAM tents. Unlike most dome tents we ore able to guy directly onto the pale
system. By doing th is far greater lension can be achieved on all main poles thus
preventing the framework from moving in the wind. it 's imporfont to note that,
when storm guys ore being used, all main poles must be guyed to achieve the
maximum strength - o ensure that you oblo,r the best results, we cidvise thor all
guys ond SIOIII" guys c •e pegged os for fro"' rhe 1en1 os poss·b e. As dome rents
ore nex•b e, guys and storm guys s~oold never be over- tensiooed, os thts Wli l
distor• he fro me work ond me fabr'c will become 'loose'.
