sprayed the outside, used the dabber seam sealer inside. I think the seam seler worked but the spray didnt help much with the waterproofness.  Maybe it would have if we used the paint on stuff but for a big tent this would have cost loads and as it was 6 years old we had to weigh up if it was worth it or not. We had already spent £40 on spray and sealer. ps not nosey at all! :)

Bring on the camping season...

Our Monty 6 (also 6 years old, bought so we could get away with 2 children after daughter died) has had the same problem. Leaking in the bed area so the underside of the bed pods flood. I've re sealed the seams, but to no avail. I think we need a new tent, she's served us well but I'm at the stage now were even a drop of rain sends me into a stress. It's putting me off to be honest.


Just been having a look on line & seen the Monty deal at yeomans but also tempted by the Hartford (family of 6 now) - there's something about our Monty though, she kept us sane 6 years ago & my heart says she's served us well, head says time to go :-(

Had mine on the garden saturday and cleaned it.Used Graingers tent clean(now universal cleaner) and its come up like new.
We had one issue with a leak but that was where we hung the light from.
Tiny holes repaired with Tenaciouse tape.Will be watching it like a hawk next time we use it.If it lets me down then its bye bye.
Looking for a polycotton one with the same bedroom lay out but they all seem to be 4+2 instead of 3+3..
