Does anybody else have this tent or were we the only ones that bought it last year,its very similar to the Hartford XXl. 

It concerns me that i never hear of anyone else that has bought it, the only down side of this tent we have found is the gasp of campsite owners when you tell them the size! 

Hi I'm new here and was looking for advice on this tent as I'm thinking of buying one too, would you recommend it as I haven't seen it erected just non the internet.

And how easy is it to put up?  and yes I realise it is huge but there are many of us camping so the size is great already come across one camp site that can't locate it without us paying ofr a second pitch....

any advice would be great

Hi Tigger, I would go for the hartford XXL (we have got one) and the are almost identical to the montpellier.    You can get the porch extension for the hartford which is a great addition.  I know that the the original poster purchased the hartford porch extension for the montpellier but I am sure form mempory it did not fit quite as well (we were both on the same campsite in France last year)

  

 

Thanks Tony and sjriley for your advice, I have looked at the hartford xxl and thought it very bright and claring is the montpellier as bright?

I have seen the canopy for the montpellier and it does look like a good addition but it have seen makes it £80 more expensive with the canopy. ho hum decisions to make.....

There will be 4 kids running about when myself and a mate put this up too so it bodes well....

thanks again

I would say that both tents are as bright as each other and to the untrained eye look identical.

I have seen the montpellier 12 for sale on wildday.co.uk for £199 and I ave seen the canopy for £49 but I can't remember where.  Ours is just green, nothing really bright about it.

I can beat that.. £172 (strange but discountedheating) but not seen the canopy seperately anywhere. combined package cheapest is £250.

Am i right in thinking that the bedroom pods on this one are all attached seperately or are they all sown  in like with the hertford?
