I am going away bank holiday weekend to Anglesey with my 11 yr old son, 18yr old step daughter and two of the dogs. I am meeting up with a load of friends as we do every August Bank Holiday. Not sure how long we will stay - I have the week off so will play it by ear. I had planned on taking the vv500 and sun (ha!) canopy as it is easy to put up and is just about big enough for the three of us. However, do to the recent weather I am considering taking the monty. Its more stable and loads of space should we have more rain.

So monty or vv500? O decisions decisions!!!

Definitely the Monty.

I'm not being pessimistic just practical. If it's great weather then great you have loads of living space if the weather is rotten same thing you have loads of living space.

I would take the monty - just in case, better to have the extra space if the weather isnt good, and if you are going with friends, you`ll have some help erecting it and taking it down.
