Hi Pfisher.
We took a quick pitch tent with us this year for overnight stops in France, as we travel from NW UK, we stopped at Arras and Chalon-Sur-Saone, on the way to the Southern Ardeche which in total is a 1000 miles one way, so thats 4 overnights in total, but to be honest we ended up using the B&B and F1 hotels for the overnights, at under £50 including breakfast, a pop per night, so much less hassel for the journey to and from your main site, I won't be taking a tent for overnights again next year that's for sure.

Surely the Idaho is one of the quicket put up tents for that number of people ? Other than 2 pop ups, I can't see it getting much quicker.

Hmm, I'd consider 15kg (and so I assume a matching bulk rather to much for an overnighter.)
We bought a Sunncamp Evolution 300 earlier thisa year (an Ebay bargain - unused, supposedly ex-display, but didn't appear to ahev been ever out of the bag).
It is sold as a 3 berth, but we can fit 4 of us in (2 adult 2 kids - not much spare space , but then we don't need it. Not standing height at all, but the design is pretty sturdy, and we also wanted something that would take the wind as we sometimes pitch ina friends pennine field. The poprch area is big enough to sit in in the evening on the floor in the rain if we needed to.
It is very easy and quick to pitch.
Alternatively, the Evo 400 - a bit bigger and heavier, but standing room.

We havethe quechua 4.2 which comes with groundsheet and 2 bedrooms - it's great for overnights or short stays and even better - I managed to put it up and take it down in no time myself when I got it as I couldn't wait for hubby to get home!

We went camping with a few other families recently and one of them had the quechua 4.2. What a fantastic tent. It really did go up within a couple of minutes and down, too. I would really like one if our family weren't so big.

We have an Outwell Jersey M pop-up for overnight stops. It has stood up to some serious wind and rain and we've never had a problem with it. However, it's great if you're just looking for somewhere to sleep for the night - if you want somewhere to sit when the weather is foul, it doesn't fit the bill. Which is why we've now bought the Khyam Freelander, a 3-berth with plenty of space, including somewhere to sit in the rain. It goes up in minutes (not seconds like the pop-up) and comes down just as easily.

Another vote for the Quechua 4.2 (no adding on tents - it's a 4 man popup vis-a-vis). We did 2 weeks in it with 2 adults and 2 kids.
It really is quick to put up and take down - made packing up almost a pleasure!
Well worth it.

we have the vango dart 200 - it is a fab tent and easily sleeps 2 so a couple of those would be great. Other than that the Vango swift looks good.
