Khyam impressions in the rain...



Just back from the second holiday of the year with the Khyam Motordome awning. Cornwall this time around treated us to more 'normal' conditions after June's rain-less week, this time we had a few downpours and gusty moments, thankfully only during the night.

The awning stayed pretty water-tight, rain tends to pool a bit on top of the section that connects to the van - you need to be careful when disconnecting not to give yourself an unsuspected cold shower! Other than that, everything inside the tent remained bone-dry.

It felt pretty stable during the winds too, at no point did I feel like waking up and hanging on for dear-life!

The addition of a proper shaped Khyam Groundsheet combined with the Khyam Carpet made for a comfortable end-of-summer break.

As much as I love sleeping under canvas, I miss having a bed in the van - there's not much scope for a lie-in when the sun's up a nature is in full song, so our plans to fit a bed in the van are being brought forward.
