I'm a bit anal about set up and tear down times, when touring and on the move, I want some luxury plus ease of set up / tear down.
I've had or have one or more of everything. Everything has it's advantages and disadvantages.
Southern Cross tent - easy to set up and tear down but bulky and heavy.
3 second throw up tent - easy to set up and not bad to tear down when you get used to it.
I've had 2 black wolf tents, nat bad to set up but takes ages to pack up and too bulky.
I've had lots of "family" tents - light and compact but too fiddly
The problem with all tents is not just the set up and tear down time, it's the packing and set up of bedding. Yeah I know I'm being precious. Or lazy. I just hate
camp tear downs.....
So.. I also have
Swags - Easier to set up but bulky and not much chop for cold and rain - even with a tarp / awning.
My Tvan - very easy to set up and tear down in touring mode, super comfy and warm, but with the obvious disadvantages of a camper trailer.
I've tried to like Rooftop tents before but they are too clunky, as aerodynamic as a house brick, and most take a while to set up anyway.
There are times that I'd prefer not to take my Tvan, I found this the other day. the iKamper top tent.

It's distributed in Australia by a mob in
Geelong and also sold by Drifta and a few others.
Its available in 2 adult plus 2 kids. or a new one is coming out in about a month for 2 adults. Same size but should have more storage space. It genuinely seems to take 1 - 2 mins to set up and tear down including the bedding - especially the 2 person one.
It is bloody expensive though, nearly $5K What do people think? ( apart from the obvious that it's bloody expensive and RTT issues. ) It seems a lot more user friendly that other hard shell RTT's.
