My trusty old Coleman 5 person tent is struggling to fit my family of 4 and it's time to buy something bigger.
I have a challenger so I'm limited on both space and roof weight so I normally split the tent and throw the carcas on the roof and the poles and Pegs in the draws. With a dome tent this is easy but no one seems to make decent quality dome tents in the medium (6-8) man sizes any more.
Ideally I'd like a 2 room tent, one big enough to fit a queen bed and a second big enough to fit a single down each side with enough space to stand up in between to get dressed.
This size range seems to be dominated by the instant up tents but I don't know how painful it would be to disconnect the frame from each time. I can setup my current dome tent in about 10 minutes solo while the wife distracts the helpers.
Does anyone have an instant up tent that they regularly remove the frame from?
