I'd say Khyam as I have one, but apart from that then easiest are ones that don't employ the thin fibreglass poles that need threading through. We had a sunncamp one a few years ago and that was a nightmare, also recently had to help a mate get them back out of the fabric tubes as they were coming apart and in danger of breaking the elastic joining them.

Our friends we went away with this weekend had an outwell and that had good strong external outside poles that clipped on and they had no problems with that.

To be honest, any dome or tunnel will be fine after the first couple of goes, you get your own system and off you go!!!

Granted some tents are easier than others to begin with, but in the long run I would go for the one you really really imagine yourself being comfortable in and that suits your purpose best - you will get it cracked in no time.

We have a Royal Biarritz 6 and after the first couple of goes we could run for the Olympic gold now!

Happy camping!
