In 2011 this was a hugely popular tent on here, seems to have lost this status, how do you rate it, have you had one or would get one?
When ours needs replacing (hopefully still got many years left especially now we got the Roof Protector), I would hope they do an inflatable version.

We really liked the 6p but ended up getting the Vermont xlp as it had the front section for cooking and using as a wet room for muddy boots and coats
I think that might be one of the reasons we opted for the vango Eden 600v xl it's roughly the same size and design of the 6p but it's inflatable and polycotton

The first thing i notice seeing it pitched was how the front sagged in if the pitch wasnt flat.This was at a shop display.
Thats what put me off especially as the front door is one of the enterances.

Love my Monty 6 I've looked at a few tents and can't seem to find one that beats what we have at the no, we have the front closed extension for extra comfort on longer stays. Have you used the roof protector yet? If so what's your thoughts is it worth investing in one? Thanks in advance.

No not used it yes, should be at end of the month when we go to Cambridgeshire for 5 nights. I think you can only use it when you don't have the awning/extension on. We have both these too but only used when away more then 5 nights.

Sometimes I wish I had got the Vermont, I like the storage room. However at time I thought it was too big and that the Montana could be made as big or small as you need with extension/awning. However these take time and hassle and we do not spend much time in the tent to really need them.

Got a bargain on the Mocca Monty 6 a year or so ago now which I have put up twice(With help)...Probably overkill and a tad too big for one person(Both erecting and living in) But if I am off on my main hols for a week or two I like the space it affords me for all my gear in the living area and bedrooms....
Have never opened the front door so the sloping front is not an issue for me...I prefer the side entrance...Or when wet the wee side porch opposite as a means of entry...
Nice sturdy BIG tent that has been rock solid in the stiff breezes that can occur on my beachside holidays...
Only two minor personal issues...1) The Mocha colour gives out a pale coffee hue when your in there and is a bit light in the morning....2)Doors to the bedrooms only have a mesh cover about 2 3rds of the way up and no privacy cover you can zip up...Which might be an issue if the family come camping with me in it...
Other than the above...I'm happy with it for my main holidays...Could do with a smaller steel poled tent for weekends away though....
