If you are not too fussed about the writing Gary at Cross Camping has some Outwell Montana promotion tents for £300. If your not aware Gary owns a retail camping shop and often posts help and advice on UK Campsite. Give Gary a call if you have any questions.

Hi there.

We have an outwell montana (probably about 5 years old now) I dont know if the new ones are the same but in  ours you can have it as 2 seperate rooms, roll the middle up to have 1 big room or do what we always did, have 2 rooms and unzip the bit in the middle for early morning chats.

Its a brill tent, never had a single drip of rain in and barely moved in gales whcih left other tents trashed and abandoned.

The only thing i would warn you on is that the downside of the sturdyness is that it is quite heavy. We are having to get rid of ours as our kids are now older teenagers and not so keen on camping. I've got a dodgy back and its too much for hubby to do on his own.

Good luck with your search!

We always had that problem too (never 6" though). I think its because we always thread the poles from the right so the roof material was pulled more to that side. (took us a couple of seasons to suss that gem out!  )

Our garden was too small as split level so we rang a local campsite, explained our predicament and asked if we could hire a pitch for a few hours to practice. This time of year they're not that busy. I think we gave them £5.
