I've got a BEar Lake so can only answer from that point of view.  We too have the two buckles on the tent, only one on the inners.  Apparently it is so that you could put in a kids room or whatever by rolling one half of the universal inner away.  Personally I wish they'd just spent the extra 50p and put another buckle on the inner because it would hang better, but I just lay the other way to sleep :-)

This is a link to the Yeomans man putting up the BL on his own - presumably the principle is the same for the ML.  We tend to peg the back corners and then put one pole in at a time and lift each one as we do.  We often find it helpful to stand a 9 year old holding the first pole upright, but it is not necessary.

I hope that helps until a ML owner comes along.

I tried ours last week too - its heavy isn't it - we didn't gather the poles altogether we just put them up one a once but think next time we will try the gathering method!  I didn't put the bedroom pods in though - as I was "weathering it" - it didn't seem to leak at all!

You tube "Montana 6 awning yeomans" it shows a yeomans guy pitching the Montana 6 on his Own! I've tried this method and it's dead easy! Sure it will work for the Lake he also does the packing away video two !that is very very useful
