I have just bought a second hand Montana 6 tent & am wanting to buy the kids room for it. I know they only fit 2008 onwards models. 

The man i've bought him from only bought it last year & is under the impression it is a 2008 model.

Is there anywhere on the tent that i can find out what year it was made???

Thanks

Thanks Claud.

It says on the Outwell website from 2008 onwards.  Icould not undewrstand the difference myself.  I'll have a look for the compass & thermometre & that should tell me if it's 2008 onwards.

By the way - do you have a carpet for the Outwell tent, if so how do you clean it?  Ours smells of wet dog!!!

Hi Rebecca

Really glad you got the Montana 6 tent you went to look at. Have you seen this thread - looks like the original Kevin you had dealings with over the Bear Lake 6 is not all he seemed!!!!

Have I been conned thread

Glad you got your money back and were able to get a good bargain/tent in the end

Hi Lynne,

We are still awaiting the refund for the Bear Lake 6.  The man who sold it to us was also from Newbould On Stour - his name is not Kevin Crellin, but Kevin Jones

He called me this morning to advise that he had input our account number incorrectly online & has now resent it.  Working for a bank i know the funds should be in our account by Thursday at the very latest.  If it isn't then we'll have to take the next step to getting our money back - my husband is in the police so we'll have to track back via sort code, account number, mobile number, address etc.

Keeping my fingers crossed, but feeling a little bit sick now i've seen this!

oh no - sorry Rebecca thought you had already managed to get your money

Looks like you are in a good position to sort it out so hopefully things will work out ok.

There are some horrible people around. I think a warning needs to be put on the wanted ads page so nobody else gets caught out by him. Sounds like it must be the same person - bit of a coincedence if not!!!

How is your Montana 6 have you managed to pitch it yet? You got a great bargain there.

Not sure how you can get rid of the wet dog smell. Do you think you could use a vax on it? if someone held it down at the corners while you did it. Not sure if this would affect the coating - are they waterproofed? Hope you find a solution.

Let us know if you sort the Kevin situation out might help others in the same position

Good Luck

Hi Lynne,

No we haven't had chance to pitch it yet - our garden isn't big enough!!!  We've watched a clip on Youtube where a man pitches it in about 8 minutes (i doubt we'll be as quick).

Have vacuumed the carpet & have found a recipe for odour neutraliser online, so have made it up to spray on when the weather gets better.

I've had a call from Kevin reassuring our money is on the way - it should be in our account by Thursday.  He is very concerned about the other threads posted on here & it has to be said, we have had excellent communication from him throughout the whole experience & i am optimistic that we will get the money back from him.
