Just had our trial weekend with our Outwell Vermont XL and it was fab!!!!!
We did masses of research re Outwells and this was the only one for us and our needs. We have 2 boys and a girl and after spending £100s on a tent we don't want to have to replace it when they need more privacy whenever that may be.
The Montana 6 would not fit 3 Campingaz airbeds in the kids section so that was sadly out as we loved it. The Bearlake wasn't much better. We were warned against the poddy Hartford ones by the Yeomans guy as he said they were way tooo big for a lot of pitches and some sites don't like the way they ramble.
Soooo this got us down to the Wolflake 7 and the Vermont XL. We didn't like the lack of a zipped up awning for the Wolflake price and figured the extra size and canvas weight was too much at this time. Soooo we went with the Vermont XL and are very,very pleased with it.
The bedrooms are fab you can have 3 separate,1 huge one or 2 and a 1. The wardrobe is really useful as a clothes/towels heap area,you can just zip it all up out the way.
The awning is brilliant,dp and I rolled it up and the side bits and roof bit really protect you in the evenings,it's lovely for sitting out in.And it's great for cooking in.Also we could leave everything in to go out for the day without having to drag stuff in.
We had a bit of drizzle and the carpet was lovely to sit on and play top trumps on. Masses of space in the living bit. We easily could fit a small clothes airer in the living space too and a table.
The space was heavenly to be frank,the kids had their own space and we were never tripping over each other or loosing things.
It was really easy and quick to put up.
I've booked 3 pitches this summer and nobody has blinked an eye when I've warned them about the size as the width is within the normal size pitch and apparently they worry more about width than length which it is very slightly over. The site guy this weekend said we could have as much length as we wanted. The Yeoman guy was right as all 3 sites did ask if it was a pod one when I booked. I noticed on the site we were at this weekend we took up a lot less space than a lot of other people as they seemed to have elaborate windbreak and pup tent additions.
I reckon if your kids are single sex and not spoilt airbed sleepers like mine and size worries you go for the Montana with the zip up awning addition although if you add the 2 lengthwise/pricewise it's very similar to the VermontXL. If you went for the Montana you've got the option to go awning free to get on small pitches(although personally I'd miss it).
Hope this helps
