Hi Caren

We also got tired of cramped conditions, lots of rain and no SIG - so decided to upgrade to the Outwell Florida 6.  We got Go Outdoors to price match Yeomans (plus a further 10% off with their price match policy) so got it for £315.  Had been looking to buy the Montana 6 but as the Florida already comes with a canopy (its extra with the Montana) it seemed too good to turn down.

Had  a look round one in store before purchasing and thought it would work really well for us (family with 2 kids).

Haven't been camping in it yet, but  will be going in May.  Will also have a practice pitch in the backgarden when the weather gets better so we don't look complete muppets when it comes to pitching it!

Have you looked in the tent review section? - there are some reviews of the Florida 6 there.

Yeomans had it for £350 last Nov,  and thanks to some one on this site mentioning about the Go Outdoor price matching policy got another 10% off.

I had been waiting and waiting for the Montana 6 to be reduced (but it never really happened), when the Florida 6 bargain came up.

Keep checking as there may be some 2009 stock around - good luck!

We have the Florida 6 for 2 adulds and 2 kids (6&8) and I love it.  Really spacious and no problem camping for over a week.  We had it up in really poor weather last year but with the rear end into the wind we had no problems.

We've got the extra awning too as this meant that we could keep the kitchen stuff and a table outside without it getting wet.  On the downside it's really heavy to put up with the 2 of us.  I'm a big strong lass and I struggle to lift the pole bag!

We made the mistake of waiting too long to take advantage of the Yeomans price of £350 for the florida 6, and missed the boat!! They told us that it will be back in stock but not for that price!

We eventually bought one from Don Valley Leisure for £399. We researched for months before settling on the Florida 6, and can't wait to use it in anger.

We are a family of 3 and the sleeping arrangements are perfect for us as the bedroom openings don't intrude into the living space allowing more room for spreading out. After all the bedrooms are only used for a few hours overnight, but the living area is used all day.

We bought our Florida last summer after owning a Hartford L, we LOVE our Florida and plan to buy the front awning to give it an extra room.

We use two pole bags one for the roof poles and one for the sides, this makes it easy for us girlies to carry.

The tent works well for us even when our friends come and it's 4 adults and 2 kids, the adults have the pods and the kids have the centre wardrobe area between the pods.

We can pitch now in about 30mins, then hubby sorts out lines whilst I'm incharge of the kitchen set up, ha ha even on holiday the kitchen is never far.

I would recommend the florida and now they do a florida 5 too.

oops meant to put reply in bit on the awning.
