We love our Montana. Just come back from a very windy week in Wales and tents around us were collapsing everywhere, poles snapping but our sturdy tent stood strong. We've done many weekends now and several longer holidays both in the UK and France and our tent really is home from home. Lots of space for us, 2 boisterous young boys and 2 jack Russells. We bought an ex display model and it's been a true bargain. Can see us getting many more years use out of it yet. Only downside is you need 2 adults to carry/erect - quite tricky at first but once you get the hang of it and follow your routine it goes up in about 20 minutes. Love the sown in groundsheet and the fact that the big bedrooms just pop up inside. Love the handy and numerous pockets to keep all those camping bits and bobs neat and tidy.
We use a cooker and cooker stand inside, a table large enough for us all to sit round, four chairs and a dog cage and there's still plenty of room to move around plus fit in cool boxes, food boxes etc. On sunny days the front porch opens up and is wide enough to give great views. On wet days we open the 'curtains to get great views and light and use the tradesman's entrance (as we call our side porch) which stops any wet getting inside. You can also put the tent up in the rain, safe in the knowledge that all will be bone dry inside. Side porch also great for storing shoes and a bucket for middle of the night widdles.
Lots of vents, windows, fly screens etc - only problem is that hubby seems to spend a lot of time fiddling with them, opening and closing them depending on varying weather conditions throughout the day!
All in all we love our tent. We've been through several before the Montana but will now stick with this one for as long as it lasts - which I suspect (and hope) will be quite some time.

This is the fifth tent we've had over about thirty years. We feel like we've moved forward a century. It's so much warmer and sturdier than anything we've owned before. We had every kind of bad weather you can think of, and did have to put it up and take it down in really strong winds (which we'd hoped wouldn't happen), and following the Yeoman guy's YouTube method we had no problems at all. With two of us (and occasional help from children) we could do it in about 15 minutes. Make sure you watch how to put it away as well as how to put it up.
We don't have car room for the footprint or the carpet, but didn't feel it was a problem. We use two picnic blankets to sit on, and they were enough. We did invest in the children's room - brilliant.
We haven't had a fully sewn in ground-sheet before, and were worried about ventilation, but if you use the velcro 'things' to keep the ventilation open, it's brilliant, less condensation than any of our previous tents, but not cold.
The side entrance has a 'rain porch' which we made good use of - stored all the shoes and boots out there and the inside stayed clean and dry.

Just spent 1 week in Cornwall and, despite the cloudy weather, enjoyed my stay in this luscious tent.
Copes with wind and rain with ease. The sun canopy and front extension are brilliant for shade and shelter. The bedroom pods are very big, and can fit the double bed that I have , with lots of room left for all my junk ļ. Lovely amount of living space to put cupboards and everything else. Overall, a tent that is highly recommended not just by me, but everyone else to have one. Definitely the perfect tent for me. Outwell have done extremely well to pull this beautiful creation off.

Awesome. Going to buy the extension & the carpet at end of this season.
Just come back from a week in Devon and the tent performed great. Especially as we had only put it up in the garden before.
Dealt with rain & wind with ease.
10 out of 10 for outwell.

I have also owned 2007 version of the Montana 6.
The 2009 Montana 6 has an improved Porch and inner door. I like all the Mesh window and door sections. When the weather is hot and sunny just roll up all the outer doors and windows and the tent keeps lovely and light and fresh.
Just returned from 2 weeks in Cornwall and very happy with the 2009 version.
I also followed the Yeomans video for erecting the Montana 6 and found it cut the time down by half on last year.
I agree that carpet is a must but I have 6 Grey 'Tesco Picnic Blankets'. 1 in each of the Bedrooms and 4 in the Living Area. Each Picnic Square can be picked up and taken outside to shake off crumbs/sand/grass.
Although only used by 2 adults, On days of poor weather there is plenty of room and light when all the inner windows are rolled up.

We have just returned from a very wet and windy 10 day trip to the highlands. The tent remained dry and stable. The only 'advice' I would give the less experienced user - which I am - is that the roof of the hanging sleeping area, which is 'clipped in', is damp in the morning with condensation and the tent needs specific airing of this area to remove the condensation even if the weather conditions are not good. I have noticed brown mottling (mould?) on the bedroom inner roof after the tent being used on only 5 separate occasions so far. I have endeavoured to thoroughly dry out the tent before putting it away.
I would also say that the front extension is a must as the tent slope is extreme at the front - but maybe the side door is supposed to be the main entrance?
I also have a ground footprint and a carpet which are great and worth buying.
Overall a great tent and highly recommended.

While there is not much that hasn’t already been said about the Montana 6 tent, we nevertheless feel that it is only appropriate to add our opinion. Therefore, having been “serious campers” for just three years now and during this time we have purchased as many tents, it was after great deal of deliberation and research that he decided to buy a Montana 6.
Well, we were certainly not disappointed, as for the old saying goes “you only get what you pay for”, and the Montana 6 is no exception. While this is quite an expensive and heavy tent, due to the steel poles, it is very well made and very sturdy, as the weather proved to be a real test on our first trip with this tent (July/August 2009) – torrential rain, strong winds, thunder and lightening and a wee bit of sunshine in-between. Needless to say, the Montana 6 stood up to all these conditions and without any question of doubt, we felt very safe, comfortable and secure.
Erecting the tent was pretty straightforward (although watching the video on You Tube prior to going certainly helped), and took us - two relatively strong adults – around 40 minutes to erect). The Montana 6 is large and very roomy, with great visibility due to the many windows and doors. In taking the tent down, this was again straightforward and with a little careful folding and rolling, we managed to get the tent back in the bag first time.
Our experience of using the Montana 6 was definitely enhanced by the use of the carpet and the front extension, which allowed us to cook and sit outside, as well as providing extra room. Therefore, we have to conclude that the Montana 6 is the best tent we have purchased to-date and plan to use it again in September for our next camping trip and hopefully many more after that. Believe the hype, it really is that good. Happy camping!

Just spent 10 days in this in all sorts of weather and cant fault it. Watched the Yeomans fellow pitching and use his method which makes pitching much easier, not too awkward to get back in it's bag either! Storm porch is brilliant. Plenty of ventilation and windows make it light. Footprint ground sheet is a must I think. Only thing we have against it is it's heavy!

Just back from our first trip and we are very pleased this is our second tent now. For us the quality is good design and layout really suit us, the front canopy is what makes this tent so special to use, can sit out side while its raining dogs can wait out there while they dry off, brilliant. Loads of space for us two. Raised Areobed king fits easily into the bedroom.
Best of all I love the all round low level windows. I didn't know till we used it this weekend that the side windows unzip and can be rolled right up you cant get more ventilation than that. Vents down both sides can be held open or shut with velco stay. Guy rope have velco so you can roll them up and secure for packing away. Zip have a strong feel to them. Tent feels strong in the wind, give lots of confidence that this tent will last us many years to come.
We were lucky enough to pitch on a caravan club CL (by invitation of the owner) A couple of caravanners admired the tent and just loved the space inside, and the carpet I think was the most surprising for them

We brought the Montana earlier this year at the tent show, along with the footprint and the carpet.
We have used it twice so far this year and have found it fantastic. Once you get used to putting it up and taking it down it doesn't take long at all.
The second time we used it it rained quite heavy but we found we had plenty of space inside to while away an afternoon.
The footprint and carpet add insulation and comfort, we hope to get the extension soon.
