my sister-in-law and family have a montana 6 it's great, get the extension if you can as it gives a good space to cook in.

Congratulations on your prize :D Wow

We have a Montana 6 , love it , very stable easy to pitch and loads of room .
Any questions about the montana , I'll try my best to answer them for you .

A very popular tent , if you found camping was'nt for you ( which I doubt , you'll love it :D ) , you'd be able to sell a montana easily I'd have thought .

One thing I would say , I don't know if car boot space is an issue , but the montana comes in a fair sized wheeled bag , like this

Then there's a second bag also , for the steel poles .
They do eat up a fair amount of boot space .

Take a look at the tents packed down in thier bags also when your at Yeomans , if boot space is an issue . Consider the other gear you'd need room for .


Good advice from Andy , do'nt rush in , come away and think about it and post your thoughts / questions on here .



Happy shopping :D

Hello and a warm welcome to the forum.

What a fantastic prize, well done,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,now go blow it all on the Outwell Wolf Lake 7 :D ........no not really.

I have to agree with the advice already given, especially concerning coming away and thinking about it. Really discuss it and then go back and get in the tent and discuss what you discussed :roll:. We did when we brought the Vermont XL, that's why we ended up buying the Vermont-L instead, it was better for our needs.




Nope, never took it out of the box. But, the salesperson said this tent was super easy to set up; even in windy conditions...
