after our first camping weekend for maybe 2 years, ive found myself wanting to get back into it. i know the thing that puts me off tho is building and taking down the tent plus setting up the equipment. its an easy tent too, a nevada M, so only 3 poles!
im a bit of a fair weather camper, im thinking we wouldnt go if its rubbish weather, so nothing spectacularly weatherproof needed. i can remember reading about the decathlon pop-up tents ages ago, but it seems they discontinued them, am i right?
ideally, id like something same size or slightly smaller than the nevada, its just me and the wife, but we'd like to be able to stand up in it.
i just know the quicker and easier i make the set-up, the more likely i am to go. i want tent out the car, 5 minutes later bam, sat outside with a cup of coffee :-)
any suggestions as to anything easier and quicker to set-up than my already easy and quick to set-up tent? :-D
thanks
EDIT: also thinking of downsizing car, so size is a consideration, we had a full octavia this weekend with just the two of us! (plus dog)

3 pole tunnel with nice living room, massive bedroom. after first pitch keep bedroom attached to the inside. from then on its a 10 min pitch with 2, 30 mins max (when i did it myself) solo. its easy to pitch, even i can do it solo!!
Pop ups usually have a large pack size as they are essentially a large disc about 1m diameter so you will need to ensure you have space in the car for such a tent.
Also, although quick to erect, there is a definite knack to refolding them back into their bag!

haha, yeah i had a go with a small one this weekend and couldnt do it, although im sure theyre fine if you look at the youtube vids first :-)
ladycake, just googled that and as you say, looks nice and simple :-) thing is, it looks almost identical to our outwell nevada, so im mebbes just being a bit of a nob wanting a quicker one :-D just trying to make the whole experience as pain-free as poss, and its the setting up and stripping down that puts me off. i ought to just man up and crack on with it! :-)
