Hi all

Thought i would run through IMO the quickest and best way to pitch the Monty. Also even if the weather is bad this will do the job without the tent taking of or tearing

1 - peg out the four corners of the tent, not overly tight but just as the tent sits on the floor. Make sure the adjustable straps are nice and slack.

2 - open the front door and go inside and walk about to get some air in the tent.

3 - slide the first roof bar through the first pole sleave by the front door.

4 - place the one leg in position on the side of the tent that has the none adjustable ring and pin and lift, while doing this if there are two people the other person could be placing the leg on the other side into position making sure the adjustable strap is nice and slack, put the pin into the bottom of the pole and lift, making sure none of the roof sleeve fabric is caught.

5 - close the front door if at all wet or windy.

6 - repeat number 4 working towards the back of the tent.

7 - adjust any pegs that need it then pitch the side extension.

Regards

Getting the air out is definately key. Doors unzipped and a bit of rolling around does the trick for me. I'm not sure if I fold mine according to the manufacturer or even if I do it the same way every time. I just use the width of the bag as a guide for folding widths.

Hi,
our tried and tested method for getting or Sunvalley 6 back into the trolly bag is as follows.

1/Fold in half length ways(keeping all the ring and pins to one edge,
2/the half you have left fold into 3 so you still have all the ring and pins to the edge.
3/start rolling from the back keeping it as tight as possible(OH keeps infront of me squashing out all the trapped air as we go along)
4/when you get to the end tie the loose straps round it and then slide it into the bag,then fasten down with the bag straps.Job done.
It never fails for us and the SV 6 is a similar size to the Montana 6.
We can even manage to get the footprint and the carpet into the trolley bag
