Hello gaz.
I'll offer this on the tent my wife and I use for weekenders. I can erect it on my own in about 15 minutes.

I'm 5' 14" so needed something high enough, with enough room in the bedroom for me horizontal as well.

Take a look at this.

Hope this is of use?

Kind regards James

In the beginning there was darkness.
Then I bought a tent.
I'm not destitute, I'm just poor.
