We bought our Monty last year and it is the best tent we have bought. We have the footprint, carpet and recently purchased the front extension. What a god's send! The 'kitchen' is now outside and it gives so much protection against wind & rain that we leave the 'front door' open and are still snug inside. We echo what others have said about the bottom of the front entrance though, hence the 9 / 10. The first time we used it the rain came in at the bottom of the 'door', we have been meaning to attach more velcro strips but luckily the weather has been with us so it has not been required just yet. I should imagine now we have the extension that we won't bother with that now. It has stood up to gales and heavy rain and doesn't budge! Mind you, when packing away in the wind it was like a parachute but I think we have perfected the art of that :-). If anyone has trouble putting it up or packing away there are some helpful 'how-to' videos on YouTube.
Thoroughly recommend this tent, we bought ours having sold a caravan that we only used twice as there wasn't enough room in it.

Have just used our tent (April 09) for the first time and were very pleased with it. Easy to put up and take down (my husband even did it on his own to dry it out in garden).
Plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 children.
We used the footprint groundsheet which protected the tent from the mud.
Stood up to gale force winds and heavy rain - felt much safer than any previous tent we have used.
Our only niggle was the lack of a zip across the bottom of the main entrance - probably not a problem in the summer but was a litte drafty in the April evenings.
The layout of the tent is excellent. Plenty of windows prevent you feeling too 'shut in' even when sheltering from the great british weather.
The whole family is looking forward to using the tent in the summer (even me who previously has been a very reluctant camper - don't think any other tent would have converted me!)

We bought this tent in June 2008 before going away with friends for our first camping experience.
What we found was a very easy to erect tent with good use of space internally. We also bought the kids room which replaces the right hand side (looking at them) bedroom and is great for the kids to play in as it comes with 3 soft balls and a net to make a good 'throw through the hole' ball game.
We have now been away twice in UK and once in France with the tent and found it very versatile. We have also recently purchased the front extension which I would recommend to anyone else as it adds great space in front of the tent which can be used for cooking or relaxing out of any rain you might have.
Make sure that if you're camping on any roots etc that you get a groundsheet though as otherwise you might wear through the SIG very quickly. Ours has lots of white patches where the colour has rubbed off the inside of the SIG already, although it hasn't worn through.
Overall, 8/10 so far

Firstly I agree this is an excellent tent.
But.
1)Ours had a couple of faults on seam sealing - easily fixed when the weather is dry with sealant - but shouldn't happen
2)The tent is hard to put up in high winds but that's probably to be expected
3)The porch support pole seems to have been a design afterthought and presses against the main tent. Surely a better solution is needed
4)The front door should have a zip across the bottom to prevent wind driven water ingress
5)The walls slop at such a steep angle it is hard to open windows on the outside. You have to slip your feet under the edge of the tent.
Just niggles except for the porch support pole design
Would have preferred the $ but they stopped making it !

This tent is FANTASTIC. Having only used the tent once at the end of August 2008, I hope that it doesn’t now go all wrong. Our family of three went with several other family and friends (6 tents) to the Dorset south coast.
Setting up was a ‘doddle’ and manageable by two though more will make it even easier. This was done in around an hour. I do recommend some better quality tent pegs. The ones that come with it are ok but we are dealing with the great British weather here and stony ground. It helped to give us peace of mind.
The tent is very roomy and airy. The window options are amazing and were one of the great selling points. The tent feels ‘bullet proof’ and invincible. The many anchor points are strengthened and durable. The tent held up to some dodgy weather (we packed down in the rain) and we were comfortable and warm. The fitted carpet is definitely worth the investment and some of our party are looking into one for their tent or even replacing their tent for a Montana. A disappointment is the front/main entrance. The bottom is Velcro and not zipped. This seems crazy (why 9/10 and not 10/10) as the rest of the tent is very well designed. (You even have a thermometer!) As the front slopes, you have to make sure that it is properly in place as it will leak in the rain and the wind does come in. Other users suggest more Velcro. We will be going for a front extension which will hopefully make life easier here. It will also be a good place to cook and be outside in poor weather. The two bed rooms are good for two in each though if you leave the partition, there is plenty of room for one or two more. A nice touch is the organiser and various pockets for putting things in.
We didn’t have a footprint groundsheet (this will also be rectified next year) as when packing down in the rain, the mud was making life a little tricky. It has got to be easier to clean the sheet rather than the tent. Packing down and fitting the tent in the bag wasn’t a problem as we practised this before setting off. (Remember to leave a couple of zips open so the air can escape).
Would I buy another? You bet! To summarise the Montana is comfortable, strong and versatile and the many reviews should help to make your mind up if you are in the market for a new tent.

The tent is great as most of the reviews will tell you.I have a front extension on mine as well as the front canopy which gives you acres of outside space even when its raining you can sit outside in comfort. To add the canopy to the extension I just loop the guy ropes through one another which also doubles as a washing line. I then box it all in with two matching windbreaks its like Buckingham Palace. As we have the cover at the front the covered side porch makes a great spot to put the porta loo for those 4 oclock in the morning moments when you have after drinking stella round the barbie all night. A great tent easy to put up a bit hard to get back in the bag you need to get all the air out but other than that I would recommend this tent in fact I have my sister has the same rig when we go camping together its an impressive sight.

Just returned from a week in Newquay in the Monty 6. Its quite simple really, BUY ONE. It's easy to erect. Doesn't leak. Stays where it should it strong winds. Plus, with the addition of the carpet and front extension, its a really comfy and practical tent. Things I've learnt are:
1) Take time to get all the tensioning of straps and ropes right for the profile of the pitch
2) Invest in some decent storm pegs
3) Watch the storm porch aluminium pole end caps. Don't tension too tight (you could cut the length down or I use a plastic puck on each end, borrowed from my motorbikes side stand, to spread the load)
4) Add a couple of additional velcro pads to the front door bottom edge.
5) Use a footprint ground sheet to keep the tent clean.
6) Be careful when dismantling the poles. The retaining springs are easy to pop out.
In summary, a great tent with extremely useful accessories.

Just love the tent; just come back from the lakes, and we have had the weather you have read about, real nasty.
But I will still be going up again in ten days time and I am sure that my Montana 6 will do the biz.
We had to put it onto a hard standing as our welly wonderland was just MUD; this was no prob as long as you have the right pegs. Read the comment on the doors, and quite agree about having full zips as you don't always have the window net down.
We got round this by fixing self adhesive Velcro right across the bottom of the doors, now no prob, BUT! although I have cut off 3cm from the side entrance ridge pole as directed it still presses too hard on the side of the tent ,any tips. As I dont want the rubber protector to come through the tent.

I love this tent. It was VERY windy when we pitched it recently, but it went up quickly (between squally showers) and with relative ease. It stood up extremely well to constant wind and torrential rain. The colour is good; our last tent was a dour blue which we found quite oppressive in bad weather. The Montana's green and grey is much more acceptable. We have now mastered returning it to it's carry-bag and look forward to many more camping trips in years to come.

Just switched to a Montana 6 after using a Vango Diablo 600. This is a much more versatile tent and is great for the family (2 adults, 2 children)to sit in on cooler evenings, it seems to be a lot warmer than the Diablo. It gets an all round thumbs up from all the family and we are looking forward to next season to get a carpet for the living area. Overall a great tent, simple to put up (i can do it on my own) simple to take down and easy to get in the bag after doing once. It loses marks because of all the separate bags for poles/pegs etc and also a couple of pole retaining springs have broken on the first outing.
