The front extension is a great idea, we were going to get one but like you say it really bulks out your packing (not a problem if we get a trailer).  I hope you have a fab time at Easter.

Keep the monty.

Get yourself a trailer!

I've attached our roofbox to the top of our trailer - saves packing and attaching the roofbox to the car whenever we go...

Oo-er, about to go against the flow here, because I can't think of anything worse that having a top speed of 60mph and not being to park anywhere except motorway service stations.

I'm with Clarkson here - no, 60mph isn't relaxing and it doesn't get you there quicker! Plus, with a typically under-reading speedo (up to 10% below actual speed), most are doing around a true 55mph.

Before we got a real bargain on our Vermy last year I was about to go for an Outwell Nevada L. It's a bit narrower than a Monty but a bit longer, and since you won't need the third bedroom it'll have plenty of room. being a rectangle you'll have no trouble with pitch charges.

It packs into one bag much smaller than the Monty bag, and weighs 22Kg against the Monty 40Kg. It has very good reviews - probably needs the porch pole shortening by an inch to ease stress on flysheet, but so do most Montys.
