We are a family of 4 and currently have the Nevada M, with front extension for our main holidays each year.  We are looking for a tent that we could use for the weekends ie friday and saturday night only.  We need something that can be thrown up reasonably quickly, has 1 bedroom for the 4 of us and has a small living area.  The main criteria is standing space, we need to be able to stand in the living are not crawl around due to my back problems.  Any ideas.

Many thanks

Licata 400 (lovely tent), Vango Icarus (often recommended), Khyam Nevada (fantastic tent) would all be suitable for short breaks.

I would just use your Nevada M without the canopy
