Please can anybody give us some advise on assembly of the Montana 6 - we have had ours for a year now and still cannot seem to master this!!!!

Any advise would be appreciated as i did read that somebody got advise from the Outwell web site but this is just the same as the instructions received with the tent

I found this helpful.

pitching


Are you having a specific difficulty??? some peeps prefer lifting the front first, other stick to the back. Make sure the front door is open or you will fighting against the vacuum.
hope this makes sense.

The kids and I have found the easiest way to erect our Monty is to do each pole individually and not follow the instructions - if you do a search I think there is a couple of threads about pitching the monty and I included the method I use.

Irn Bru has sound advice about the door being open to stop vacuum being created

Got to agree with Velvet Kitten, after the first few camps struggling to lift all the assembled poles and top sections together, we found it easier to lift and peg the the rear section first. We then carefully, fed the next roof sections through one by one, fitting the legs as we go. We also found this easier to take the tent down this way in reverse order.

Excellent tent!

Maybe we need to think again lol

Hi Lol, the tent really is first class!  Since we've used the methods mentioned above it is easy to put up and take down.

This is the best tent we've had, and it coped with last years torrential downpours and thunderstorms with no problem at all.

Have a great time in Newquay
