Have you looked at Coleman? https://www.coleman.eu/uk/c-766-fastpitch-instant-tents.aspx These should be available in the UK.

The coleman instant tent is the first one I found but unfortunately I have problem knees so need a full height and was looking for something a little bigger as my husband has a large guide dog but thank you for responding.

I have the Coleman instant tourer and am 5 ft 6 inches, can stand up albeit with having to dip my head. Great for an overnighter or in warm summer months but is single skinned so not as great in pouring rain as seams let it down as does the condensation despite Coleman building in good venting. I also own a Kampa Hayling Air 4, takes 30 mins to fully pitch, but like you, I like my carpet and comforts. Suggest you look long and hard at what is necessary to take and like Mucker suggests take beloved air tent with less inside comforts. Hope you find a solution.

Hello there; I camp with my husband who is disabled due to advanced Parkinson's. I'm a bit younger than you ( late 50s) and have needed to trim our kit down to make shorter trips viable. We have gone down a different route for tents and mainly use a cotton canvas pyramid which goes up easily with a centre pole. I have got rid of kitchen units etc and just have kit in boxes, and folding tables. A small 2 ring cooker is fine for meals for two.

The other point I would make is that I have found site staff to be very helpful. I always explain when booking that my partner is disabled and we may need help. We have been able to seek assistance in bad weather, and on one occasion they even rescued our tent in a storm when we were away from the site.

Is there any chance you could manage a small caravan as that would make life much easier.
