Hi

We are a family of 4 with visiting relatives/friends.  We have never owned a tent & are very new to the outdoor experience holiday! We are looking at the Montana12 - but are a little out of our depth.  Any advice would be appreciated. Has anyone had a problem with the pitch size? ie having to pay double for this size tent. Is it easy for 2 unco-ordinated people to put up?

Many Thanks

Jo

No problems so far with pitch size - because the Monty 12 has a rectangular shape, it is actually a smaller footprint than some of the big dome tents, and easily fits onto a 'standard' 10x10m pitch - best to check when booking though !

It is easy for two people to put up - there are lots of instructions on this site - 'Langleys' has described his process a number of times which is based on the outwell instructions and it works for us, so try a search of the site.  Just take your time and don't get stressed - you'll have the tent up in no time !  I can certainly recommend the Monty 12 as a good family tent.
