We have a lovely Montana 6 that I adore but DH now wants a tent that is quicker and easier to put up.  If we have a smaller/easier tent he will go camping more often.

I have to sell the Monty but don't know where to start as there are even more options than last year.  I've been looking at the Icarus in either 400 or 500 options, are they really that much quicker to put up?  Can anyone advise on any other tents.  I probably have £150 to spend.

Thank you xx 

The Icarus 400 isn't tall enough to stand up in. The 500 is. If you want something a bit more roomier there's a Icarus 600, and even a Icarus 600 DLX (limitied edition unfortunately)

There's a thread around here where the Icarus 500 is for sale somewhere for £101, try in 'camping under canvas'.

Oops sorry it's not there it's under this forum...here you go

 Go for the Icarus 600 it's got more room than the 500, and I am sure that you will find a use for it. Why don't you do what many here do

Monty6 - for breaks of a week or more due to the room available

Icarus 600 - for weekend and short trips due to the pitching time

Have both, keep both = the very best of both worlds
