Montana 6 without a doubt. It's got better headroom throughout, it's really easy to erect, it's exceptionally stable and it's shape means you don't need to worry about booking extra large pitches at sites. I'd definitely recommend that you also buy the front canopy too so you can have the big door open when it rains and giggle at all those campers still struggling to erect their tents well after your's is up and you've got the kettle on.

I'll second all that, and the side porch is a pretty brilliant addition too...

Yep Montana 6 too although we are biased as we have one and absolutely love it. WE have the front canopy too and it is really fab as we were able to sit and watch the world go by during thunderstorms in France this summer. Very stable, didn't so much as budge a cm during the strong winds and was totally watertight. As far as I know Taunton Leisure in Taunton, Somerset, still have them.

Hi, we are first time campers with a big tent, we were really worried about putting it up, we are just soooooooo pleased we purchased the Montana 6, me and the OH put it up within 25 minutes, brilliant space inside, nice large bedrooms, full sown in ground sheet, its marvellous, we love it, doddle to take down too, AND, we got it back in the bag which we were shocked about, took us around 25 minutes to pack away as well, we have actually just yesterday purchased the side canopy too, it is perfect, can't wait to try it out properly, if you can spare the cost I wouldn't go for anything else, ok, so we are biased too, but it is brilliant, just even for the ease of erecting it, we did do our homework before buying it and thankfully we were pointed in the right direction. Good luck.
