we have seen the montana a few times now and its the one we would go for,love all the gear you can buy,cookers on stands all of it looks great.even if we keep the caravan im sure we will get this tent and all the gear to give us more options for weekends away.one fear i have is putting the dog on a tether outside,he will without doubt get tangled up in all those guy ropes.

The biggest problem regarding condensation is that 90 + % of all tents now are sewn in units which mean that the groundsheet is sewn into the flysheet. This creates a lovely cosy draught free tent....but............it also creates a sealed in box of a tent. People want tents to be totaly waterproof and this means putting a coating on the outside of the material which allows it to be waterproof but of course will not allow moisture from inside to get out. We could of course make tents with a breathable fabric but that would push the costs of tents very quickly upwards and that would not suit 99% of the tenting population.

The simple answer to the majority of condensation problems is to have as many venting places as possible to allow the circulation of air within the tent.
I see and talk to so many people with all their vents shut especially in the bedroom areas and then they complain that the tent leaks ,which is weird as its not rained for a week whilst they were on holiday.

Hiya

I should not worry about this.. there are usually not many guy ropes out front of the tent and there is usually enough room on pitches to give him enough space.
