I'm not sure what the difference is but we've got the Montana 4 as a weekend tent and we thinks its a good tent and I was surprised that they've discontinued it.
I too have got a Montana 4 and I think that the main difference between that and the Minny is that it has an enclosed side porch which is really useful for storage or putting a porta loo.
We are looking for a smaller weekender too and was thinking of the Minnesota.. they're about £249 and wondered if our Montana 6 Extention would fit the Monnesota 4 to save us buying an new extension too... Any thoughts?
Also , has anyone already got the same set up as we are thinknig of getting e.g Montana 6 for longer stays and Minnesota for weekends?
For 2 people i rate our Minny 4 as a long break tent 1-2 weeks, we use the small cabanon for weekends (or as of today the nevada 3). The minn 4 is great for 2 people loads of room and can sit in comfort with a table and couple of chairs.
Wnepip - I own / have owned both the Minnesota 4 and the Montana 6 and the Montana 6 extension will be far too wide and high for the Minnesota 4 unfortunately.
wenpip are you anywhere near Berkshire?
I haven't advertised it but Hubby says we don't need two tents(I know that's not many:-)so our minny 4 is going...
£180 (brought Aug 2007)with carpet and footprint.
I also have the extension and canopy.
