Hello,

Just curious if you always use you’re Awning/Extensions?

We have just got both the Awning and Extension for our Montana 6P. We will probably always take the Extension as it’s nice to have something to sit outside yet remain sheltered (we have poles for the doors to act as an awning but they don’t work too well due to the sloping front).

We will only use the closed Awning when away for more than 5 days as it’s too much effort putting up and down.

I have an extension for 2 of my tents and very rarely use them.
The tents obviously suit us as they are as I have never felt cramped or wanting extra space.

I do use a seperate utility tent for cooking in though.

We have the front canopy extention for the Tenby 10 and bought it on the grounds of using it only for long stays or wet stays.......   as we haven't had a dry camp yet it's had ALOT of use!  I now don't thing i would camp without it as it's now part of the tent and I have become a old hand at getting it up and down quickly!   I will add it does tent to be put up either last or the next day on a late pitch.

Oh also just remembered to say, when it pouring down we get it piched quick and push the trailer inside the canopy so we can get beds etc out of trailer in the dry! 

I love the fact you can make the Montana as big or small as you like, however when we put the Awning up as a trial when we went away caming for weekend, unless your going for 5 nights or more, seems too much work?

My wife and I are in agreement if we go caming between 3 and 4 nights we only take tent and extension. If we go away 5 nights or more we take everything.
