Hi everyone - New user to this site and we have just taken up camping this year and are now well and trully hooked.

 We are looking to buy a montana 6 and are wondering if there are any common faults that would be handy to know , and also if anyone would know a site that would have the best deal,

 Any help would be very much appreciated 14

Hi Cuthy, and welcome to UKCS !!

I've just bought a Monty6 myself, only done a test pitch at the mo, so can't comment on general problems.

However, the poles are steel, and have shaped joints. As a result, they can easily stick together. So, you need to remember to lube the joints with vaseline or something similar when putting the tent up.

It seems that Outwell have had a quality problem this year, with some people having consistant problems with the ones they purchased.

I got a new Montana this year, however, and have no problems whatsoever - and can highly reocmmend them. Seems a bit of pot luck, but the dealers are taking bad ones back and exchanging. So I guess test it before you go away.

Not had a problem with ours (except a missing porch pole that was easily sorted by the shop). Only used twice so far, but If I'd have known tents like this were available I'd have bought a tent years ago

We also have had no problems with our Monty. Love it.

Not sure about the ky  oops I mean vaseline tho, we found that if you just twist the poles when taking them apart they release fine.
