I don't have one of these tents but just went camping this past weekend with my brother and sister-in-law, and they do. They just bought the awning and this was the first time they tried it out.

It practically doubles the length of the tent, and makes a lot of room inside (and has a groundsheet which fits on with toggles - my Gelert porch has no groundsheet)

We did n't have any problems with the size of any of our tents (we had three families and three tents) - in fact, practically all the tents at our site were about the same size or even larger than ours!

It was very easy to add on - has steel poles like the main tent, and hooks onto the front of the Montana 6 (obviously all has to be pegged with guy ropes, like the main tent).

They used it for their cooking area and to have their table and chairs in, and the regular living area had the other fold-up chairs and other bits

We used the monty awning on the front of our bear lake 6 and never had a problem on any sites and it was massive, really good extra space which we used as a kitchen area:

ah fantastic thanks for that , does the dog come as standard or with the delux model lol good times ahead me thinks

Hi we have the Montana plus awning. Only used it at 2 sites but never been a problem, one of them was a caravan and camping club.

I wouldn't say it doubles the size of the tent, unless my OH is pitching it wrong, but it does double the size of the living area excluding the bedrooms. We use it to store stove, outdoor stuff like bike scooter etc. plus our table and chairs are in there, but these move to and from awning to main tent depending on time/weather/how we feel. Basically so far we've had meals there but at night we've moved table and chairs to the main tent, we have the carpet, so nice to sit on also, with heater then we are heating the area we are in plus bedrooms ready to go to bed.
