Fast pop up tent for kids
Discussion
Hi folks
I’ve got 4 and 9 year old kids. We have a cheap old caravan that we adore as it gets us into the great outdoors. It’s a swift conqueror 550 lux.
Being a much older van, it’s got just the two convertible beds. Double at the front and a small one at the rear. Now the kids are getting bigger, sharing is becoming difficult and they has into each other, which causes noise. Wifey is starting to suggest we stop camping because she’s had enough of the lack of sleep.
My thought turned to a pop up tent that we could throw up in the awning. Point the electric heater in and let them have their readybed’s instead. Then wife and I get a bed each and a peaceful sleep.
Anyone got any recommendations on small pop up tents? List of features in priority order:-
Small as possible whilst fitting 2 readybeds. (150cm wide total)
Fast as possible to put up
Won’t fall apart after 3/4 pop ups
A mesh or some way to point the heater through
As blackout as possible
We normally book hard standing, and would happily throw a few roll mats down to protect the ground sheet
Help much appreciated
