Looking for advice i have had a montana 6 before but looking for next year would you buy palm Coast or montana 6 . We have an average car not much space and not much space. Whats best steel or flex poles any afice my app
Montana 6p all day long
If we were to get another polled tent think it would be between the monty 6p or the Vermont xlp
Great tent and super solid with the steel poles and wind stabilising system

metal poles are sturdier than fibreglass poles and very unlikely to break.
When fibreglass poles snap you can get splinters (and they hurt ALOT), you can gaffa tape them together for a temporary repair but to replace you need a full kit which includes poles (which need to be cut to right length with a hacksaw), elastic cord and "needle" to thread the cord through all the poles.
Personally I prefer metal poles and having had a brief encounter with an older Montana 6 that wanted to mimic a hot air balloon when attempting to pitch it I also prefer cotton tents over polyester but appreciate some don't have the space for such luxuries.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
