My suggestion would be an Outwell Minnesota.  Good sized living area and bedroom.  SIG and goes up all in one with the inner attached.  Don't be put off by the steel poles as it's very easy for two to errect.

My recommendation is based on our Montana 4 (the Minnesota's predecessor) which we bought last year and used numerous times.  It's our weekend tent and OH and I get the tent pitched and kitted out with airbeds, sleeping bags and everything else in 45 minutes.  Once the tent is upright and pegged out in the corners one can finish pegging and guying whilst the other sets up the bedrooms.

Usually there are four of us but occasionally my eldest son (8) and I go camping and pitch the tent between us with no problems.

I have the Sunncamp Evoltution 600 as a weekend tent although this has two bedrooms 1 x2 man and 1 x 4 man you dont have to use them both I would just use the 2 man if I am on my own or the both if with the kids

here are some pics if this will help with size appreciation

Thanks for the photos Velvet Kitten. The 600 looks much bigger than the 400. Can you tell me how long it takes to pitch, and have you any idea how it is in wind?

Thanks

Martin

hi Martin - it took me and the eldest lad about 15 mins to pitch so not long really

am  not sure how it withstands in extreme wind but it is quite areodynamic so beared up to what we had when we were away

I try and shelter as much as I can

The Arizona is great as a weekend tent. ...even better with the outwell side canopy of the front, if you get what I mean!! I'll try and post a pic in my gallery!
