I was thinking of getting one of these instead of a utility tent, mainly for cooking in. Whats the chance of being charged extra for the extension ? I've held off from a utility tent for this reason. I was thinking we could compress it when the bloke came to charge us for the tent, then extend it again when it was time to cook.... (Am I bad?)
As to whether you get charged for the utility tent, that all depends on the campsite; some do, some don't.
I have the Minnesota and am considering the extension not to cook in, as I already have a dayroom/cook tent, but merely so that I can leave the door to the tent open even when it's raining. Now I know that the side entrance is slightly different on the Monty cf the Minny, but the minny's canopy offers virtually no protection to the tent if you wish to leave the door open - unless the rain is falling ABSOLUTELY vertically, with no wind what-so-ever it WILL get the inside of the tent wet. And the front door, which is similar to the Monty, is even worse. It was a pin in the butt having to hurriedly zip and unzip the door to allow people in and out and in and out and in....you get the picture?
The front extension overcomes this.
