Having decided on the Hypercamp Djakarta as my main tent , I now want a second small tent. I have decided to do a tour small campsites in the Highlands next month, and really want a more manageable small pop up tent for these short stays.
I fancy either a Quechua 2 seconds or an Outwell Fusion. The down side of the Quechua seems to be no small porch area (?water will drip into the inner when you unzip door). On the other hand the Fusion 300 has a massive disc size of 95cm which I would have to angle behind the drivers seat in my wee car.   Having said that, also cannot make up my mind whether to get a 2 man or 3 man size, as there is only going to be little old me to look after.    The nearest Decathlon for me is 180 miles away in Glasgow, and no stockists of the Fusion locally.
Any thoughts gratefully accepted!! Thanks muchly

I have a couple of outwell pop ups and have just bought a 4 man quechua. The discs are quite big on all of them but remember they are very flexible and can be squashed to fit into the car.

If you go for a 3 man you will have more space but might find it cold on your own, the 2 man out well is quite roomy and very managable if you are going to be moving around. Good luck and have fun whatever you choose.

Have just got a quechua 2 seconds + for my son. It has a decent porch area so rain has not been a problem. The size seems fine for one, but of course pitching a 2 or 3 man pop up is no difference! I know its always nice to see a tent before you buy but Decathlon do mail order and this tent is £15 off.

Just check out the online videos for folding the tent and practice before you go away!
