That's twice now isn't it?

Somerset are still showing some stock and more due in and their prices have always been competitive Araon

Gone under? that was close - bought a 2010 sleeper online from them a month or so ago and had a couple of tears in it, they were great at returning and sending out a new one so pleased that I managed to get it all sorted before this!

Are you sure? this could be old news just being repeated by those not in the know, there is nothing new on Google about it.

I heard a while back within the last 12 months that Khyam went tittys up, so some of the employees got together & kept the company going, just took delivery today of a Khyam 8 pole wind break 2010 from Somerset camping, so not sure whats going on.

I hope they haven't as they are the best awnings on the market...if so I'm sure someone will buy them out as the product is so good.

I appreciate they are not the cheapest and that may hit sales, but they are very good quality and so clever in the operation that there is no way these should go out of production. I have the smallest awning, 2.5m x 2.5m but it makes all the difference as far as space goes when camping and of primary importance, it is so quick and easy to use.
How can such a good product go tits-up????

i'd like to know the answer to this as was looking at getting the Khyam Driveaway XC Motor Home Awning from somerset

 

[Araon]

OK so bit more on that it would appear that they did restart the business so anyone with last years model has no comebacks at all and this/next years is running a limited production with a lot of suppliers not happy to deal with them due to large stocks of last years Kyhams they are struggling to sell so if your after a 2009 then theres plenty of bargaining power just watch out as theres non of the legendary support that came with Kyham.

Oh and if you have a wynnster (there other lower cost brand) then no chance go and burn it

Any more news on Khyam as I have been to their site and it seems business as usual? Any news on 2011 range?

 

[Araon]

Quite a few of the dealers wont handle their stuff, they were lumbered with a lot of unsellable 2009/10 stuff that Khyam wont support anymore. that said if you need some NOS or repairs speak to the dealers apparently they've lots of stock to shift....

I go along with whats been said about khyam Awnings..... no doubt in my mind they are the best when it comes to erecting..... have stopped lots of angry rows because they are SOOOOO easy to put up
