    Thanks for all the info! Very useful.

    We’d be interested in the Vango for sale if Blue Monday hasn’t pipped us. Where are you based?

    Montana 6.
    I can have it up alone in 30mins.
    Just so much more civilised.
    Full height throughout etc
    Not cheap, but worth it.

    Not a lot. Think we paid £10 a night but it was off season. To be honest I think the farmer comes round in his pickup about sunset and they make it up as they go

    We’ve got a Vango Orchy 600 with the large canopy attachment.

    We originally thought the tent would be big enough on it’s own; it’s just for the two of us. And it is big enough, but the tent soon feels small if it’s raining and you are stuck inside it.

    With the canopy, we have moved the cooking gear under it and unless the rain is really driving in, we can keep the front of the tent open in bad weather, which is a lot more pleasant than having to shut all the doors and coop yourself up.

    I’d go and try a few tents out if you get the chance at somewhere like Decathlon or Go Outdoors, noting down what they are for reference. This will give you an idea of what sort of size you might want, even if you don’t go for those specific ones. Try to imagine how much space a few chairs, table etc. will take up.
    Our tent looked massive the first time we put it up, until we stuck a few bits and pieces inside.

    I would recommend Outwell and as it happens I am selling an Outwell Nevada MP tent from last year, one weeks use only but does have a couple of small tears (I have photographs). Selling with footprint and carpet if interested. Looking for £300.

    Oh yeah I’ve got a 2007 Montana 6 spare, it’s getting on but you may get a season or two out of it. I’ve got the footprint groundsheet and sunshade attachment. The tent itself is pretty watertight however there is a hole near one of the front/side windows which we patched with some tape stuff after a particularly tasty storm last year. One of the steel poles is slightly bent and one of the sunshade guy ropes is off at the tab but both function fine. Free/small charity donation to any noob camper. Pick up from Hertfordshire.
