Hi all

Having looked around a few shops I seem to have made up my mind on supplier only, I like the Outwell tents and need to buy one in the next couple of weeks for a summer holiday in the south west of England. Favourites so far are the Montana 6 or Vermont L, but also the sun valley 6 appears a good one somewhere inbetween the above on price, but cannot find it set up anywhere local.

We are intending 2 seperate weeks with myself, wife and 12 and 9 year old girls so help setting up will not be a problem, also double cab L200 so weight and size not important.

Not at all keen on the Hartford bedrooms and would prefer the sewn in groundsheets so Indiana not considered.

Good deals on Montana 6 so favourite so far.

Welcome to UKCS

Montana definitely a good buy at the moment, but the Vermont provides extra internal space, which is why I prefer it. We use the porch area as our wet/muddy/storage area, and therefore the living area stays nice and clean. You've just got to weigh up whether the porch area is worth about £100 to you (difference in Montana and Vermont price)

As an ex-Sun Valley owner, this is a good tent (similar layout to Vermont), however we got fed up with the poles snapping, the steel ones on the Montana and Vermont are stronger (but the pole bag is bigger and heavier) and the tent feels more stable for it.

Happy hunting!

hi and welcome to ukcs.

you don't say where you are but im sure cross camping and leisure (cambridgeshire) have the sun valley 8 in thier tent display.

How about the Georgia? L or XL.

Nice and roomy and big bedroom pods.

happy monty owner very happy, our friends saw ours & was so impressed they bought one!!!!

Hi All again

Went down to the local tent supplier (Don Valley Sports in Doncaster), had another look around the Montana 6, no Vermont on show, also the other tents and decided that the extra room and larger porch area on the Nebraska XL was what we needed, price £365.00 was very good for 31 squares of living, liked the porch area being bathtub and all the vents and before anybody tells me about the leaking seams I decided to give one a go so I bought it.

Thanks for all the great advice in this Forum and will let you know how I fare in Cornwall/Devon from the 18th August.

Best Regards ukcampsite members, what fantastic people.

Hi ....  nice to see some comments from happy Monty 6 owners, we haven't tried ours yet but can't wait....we too thought the SIG was a fab idea, keeps out drafts and crawlies and keeps in little kiddies!
