Guys - I have it in writing from Outwell. They have confirmed what we Monty Lake owners all knew...that the floorplans of the above 2 tents ARE different.

For reasons that are beyond my comprehension, when Outwell launched the Montana Lake, they instructed UK dealers that the tents were identical as regards the footprint - this explains why every Lake owner has a '6' carpet that is 30mm too short!

Every UK dealer I have contacted doesn't believe me, so I guess it will take time to spread the word. I will try and order the proper Lake carpet via my local dealer, and let you know how I get on.

Outwell Denmark have confirmed in an e-mail that they have Montana Lake-specific carpets in stock...but I have since heard that this isn't the case and that they will be making a Lake-specific carpet for next season.

Great tents, but the way they operate is baffling as regards their marketing material and communications with the UK market. A touch of Scandinavian market leader arrogance methinks?!

Just returned from a week away and to be fair the small area left uncarpeted aint so bad. It actually leaves a little area for wet shoes etc. Also when the angled front door was opened, any rain/morning dew etc. never ran straight onto the carpet.

I can confirm that Outwell only made the 1 size Montana carpet and footprint this year which was to be sold for both tents. This position is to be rectified next year (2012) with the availability of tent-specific carpet and footprint for the Lake

This is shocking behaviour by Outwell! As far as I'm concerned, selling a carpet which is 300mm shorter than the floor area is just as heinous a crime as murder!

Let's picket their headquarters!

We use our Hartford carpet in the Monty, the 2 gaps in the front corners are perfect for the dogs bed & shoes. No snobbery here.
