We have a Monty 12 with side canopy.
The tent comes with removable groundsheet for the small porch as well as an Outwell welcome mat.
We pitch the tent back to front so that we can put the side canopy on the side without the little porch and use this to store wet/dirty shoes etc and use this as our main entrance/front door. We also put the welcome mat just outside this door to step onto when taking shoes off. We use the small porch as a back door and as a toilet tent for night time visits only.
We also drop the two berth inner which is on the same side as the small porch and use this area as a kitchen/general storage area (i.e. empty bags and boxes piled inside each other, rubbish bin). The EHU entry point is just under the porch door, so it make sense to use this side for kitchen appliances to avoid trailing cables everywhere.
Does this make sense? - Hope it helps
By the way - it's a GREAT tent!!
Do you know if you can put up the Monty 6 the other way around as I've ordered the side canopy and there will be more room in it without the porch!
