We were all set to buy the vista and then went to a tent show today at Tatton Park and saw the Montana 6 which looked really nice and a bit smaller, now we're really confused. There's a big price difference £400 for the Montana6 inc. canopy and the vistas only £299 and its much bigger. There are only 2 adults and our son 6mnths (inc. all his gear), but we do want plenty of room. Could someone give some much needed advice?

Thanx, Clare.

Hi Clare,

Its no contest....got to be the montana 6  But I would say that.

Look at both carefully and choose to suit your family and your budget.

I've just bought the Montana 6 and can't fault it.....not clued up on your other option but the Montana 6 is perfect for me, wife and 2 kids.  Loads of room and sturdy aswell.

Hi Clare, Have you been to Camperlands?  They have the Vista 800 up, and I think they have a Montana as well.  I can't fault the Vango Vistas, the 600 is great, but now we need an 8 berth, and we want 4+4, so we've bought something else, but the Vango is definitely a hard act to follow.

All the best,
Alison

Hi Alison,

Yep, went to camperlands last week and saw both. We have now decided on the coleman canyon, as its our 1st tent thought we'd go cheap and make sure we enjoyed the whole experience before splashing out. But must thank you all for your sound advice.

Happing camping all !!

Clare.
