There were 6 of us in it, it was "cosy" lol, and we had to use the car for storage but all in all the tent stood up excellently! My friends tents didn't have SIG's and I noticed they had a few puddles on the inside so am really chuffed we chose SIG's.

It was quite windy, my friends tent next door collapsed at 1am the first night, the 2nd night it was just flapping in her head and bending loads. My other 2 friends tents took a beating too and the flapping disturbed their sleep. My monty4 however was solid as a rock, didn't leak & didn't budge! Am sooo pleased with it and looking forward to the next trip! The only problem I has was with my inexperience. I had the main door at the front poled up & after a shower when I dropped it down the water went inside. After that we used the side door and because we didn't put the removable groundsheet down for there it didn't matter if a bit of water got in. Maybe we'll look into getting a side canopy for it.

Thanks for all the advice which led to me buying the monty 4! I woke up feeling bright and cleaner than I ever did in our caravan!

I have just come back from a few days with my monty. really love the tent I have a front canopy and would certainly recomend it. I cook under mine. and with a windbreak it works a treat. cant wait to use mine again hopefully next weekend. Just drying it out now as it rained this morning just as we were packing up .. Typical !!!

Off to the lakes with ours tomorrow for a week had a few weekends away in it and we love it the front canopy is great .Looks like it might be a bit mixed weather wise so will be a good test for it have my delta pegs so not expecting to much trouble with any strong winds.
