Have you been on Ebay again !!!!!

Is the discoloring on the outside or inside of the flysheet. If its the outside theres nothing I know of that you can do as its probably just the fabric fading/discolouring. If its on the inside then its likely to be the seam sealing tape.

Looks like its had a bit of a mould growth underneath the seam tape and the Velcro pads at the bottom of the door which has stained the fabric. Is the seam tape still intact and stuck on also is it just this bit of the tent that affected. Or it could just be dirt coming through the stitching

as far as we know yes, this is the short description we got,


Montana 6 Tent
a well used tent with some discolouring along the seams, a small tear on side entry door which can be repaired and tent bag has a rip in it.all poles are in good condition and a complete set of pegs plus a few more, it has recently been used and performed very well and could provide more use for someone else. due to size needs to be collected in person from preston area, or may be able to deliver depending where it is

trying to get more details but the guy is away camping at the moment so a bit slow in communication.

I probably wouldnt worry about it until youve seen it in the flesh. When you get it home put it up if you can and give it a good soaking with the hose, check all the zips, guys where they attach to the tent especially the ones on the rear vents and the velcro under the bottom of the doors

As for tear on side door, a bit of Tenacious tape and maybe a few stitches as if like us you will probably only use for storage (toilet/shoes etc..)

Ive always found if chucking it down theres not much room in the side bit to take off shoes, coat etc and anothers waiting to come in too.
