I have had our Montana 6 since 2008 so 10 years. She has done us proud and love her to bits, but roof is getting crispy and that was last year!! In an ideal world I'd upgrade to a Vermont 6e which ticks all our boxes, but then wouldn't be able to afford to go away so this is where bodge it and fix it comes in.
Tent is crispy, awning not so bad. so I am giving it a go but also taking original sun canopy (came with tent but never used) and also the extension (not used as much as awning) but a bloody mouse has had a nibble.
If tent rips idea being these can go over tent with guys and clingons and taking rolls of tape, so hopefully see us through 2 weeks. Just praying for no gales.

If you must Bodge it & Scarper, the way to go is Gorilla Clear repair tape. Put a strip either side of the mouse hole and it will last forever. I used it on my fly screen which has a split.
