I currently have a JET TENT F30X this is a good tent and fits in the back of my dual cab ute, but i now require another tent for overnight stops that is quick to set up. The oztent RV Series looks good but wont fit in the back of my ute.
The tent will be used by my parents to do the GRR. A roof top tent is out of the question.
What other tents can people suggest ?
Regards Matthew.

Check out some touring tents, 4xpegs in the corners and a centre pole inside and it's up.
I've had a
Southern Cross touring tent for 15 years, done heaps with it and still like new.
They cost a bit, but are made from good canvas. They fold into a square 1metre and about 100mm thick, so could either lay down or sit on it's side in your ute

We bought a Coleman instant-up 4 person tent for a 3-week trip recently. It is 2.4m square with no central pole. It was perfect for two of us, light, quick to set up and pack up into a bag about 1200 long, 250mm square. It was about $260 from memory and seems reasonably
well made (China of course) but probably not up to the quality of dearer ones.
We normally travel with a camper trailer so will only use it occasionally. We put a tarp on the ground first to protect it a bit from stones & prickles.
Cheers, Gado
