Hi,

I can't speak for the Monty (I'm sure someone will soon be along to) but we currently have a nebraska and the tent and poles are seperate. It's quite likely they are seperate too for the Monty as they both have steel poles rather than fibreglass so take up more room and weigh more.

Hello Andy

The poles are in a separate shoulder bag (the tent is in a wheelie bag) and I think they are heavier - it's hard to say because you don't often carry the tent you just wheel it.  However, the pole bag is considerably smaller than the tent bag - at least half the size.  Hope this helps.

PS We've just had our first trip in our Montana 6 and it is fabulous.  It has loads of fans on here!

...and there is a small bag for the pegs and a door mat. The door mat will fit in the wheelie bag, the pegs should squeeze into either the shoulder bag or the wheelie bag.

The poles may fit in one bag if you are really careful with packing - but this will make it very heavy.   Best to keep poles in the seperate bag - makes packing the car easier too.

We were new to camping last year and fortunately purchased a Montana 6 (2005 model) We love it. It had a good 4 week run through the West Country last summer and weekends here and there. This year we're off to France in it. We rate it so highly 2 of our friends have bought one for their family camping trips. It's spacious with room to grow. Full of good ideas and well made.

Has yours arrived? How is it?
