In a real pickle.

Had sort of made a choice of picking up a second hand trailer tent, but last night watched a video and they seem a lot of hassle setting them up especially if its raining.

So was looking for something that would give the equivelent size living space in a tent.

The Outwell Montana 6 seems to fit the bill, any other tents fit the bill?

Vango Amazon is a great tent, lots of windows, built in canopy, fits on a standard pitch, seems to be lots of second hand ones around. We have a Vango Zanzibar which is the polycotton version, now discontinued but a few second hand ones around!

Outwell Glendale 5 is a fantastic tent for living space and has a built in porch too. Check out the reviews. Might be harder to pick up second hand if you are looking for a cheaper option though as they are only 2 seasons old.

Hope you find your perfect match!

I'm selling a much loved, much used Monty. Replaced it with another Monty cos we love the tent so much. It's in the free ads.

Kampa Croyde 4 or 6 is fabulous and in my opinion gives the Montana 6 a real good run for the money.  We've camped in wet, dry, wind etc and it's been superb.  In fact we intended to buy a Monty until we saw this and bought without hesitation.

I personally would buy a Kampa Croyde over a Monty everytime, Ive had both and the Croyde is a much more practical tent with the built in front canopy and its cheaper to

I'm very happy with my Vango Maritsa 700. It has 3 bedrooms, really big living area and large built in front canopy. It's big enough that the 4 of us don't go stir crazy when it rains.

Whats the difference between the 6 and 6P?

thanks



I didn't realise there was one until last night.   According to our friends who have a Monty 6, our new 6P has a hexagon shaped (panoramic!) front, where there's has a flat front.   Not sure whether is makes any difference in space or comfort, but might make a difference with buying of carpets, extensions etc.

The 6p is a higher spec than the 6. The croyde is superb but just to through a spanner in the works the Vango Palena 600 dlx beats them both when it comes to fabrics and its got lots of good features.
