When you say you're not hiking, are you still going to carry it or will space be an issue? eg. cycle touring, motorcycling. Are you staying in caravan parks and campgrounds?

What kind of weather do you actually expect the tent to stand up to?

Will the tent be used for other stuff in future?

My car camping tent is a Coleman 3cv. Bought from Snowys Outdoors in Adelaide. We have found it to be excellent for car camping. Great ventilation, fairly durable and pretty affordable ($120 I think.)

It would best be described as 3 season but again what are you really expecting the tent to stand up to? I've had it in some fairly bad weather and it's well waterproof enough. If it's forecast to be windy, ensure you properly attach the fly to the poles and peg out all the guy ropes (I usually don't bother with these steps 99% of the time.)

We are so happy with this tent that after wearing one out we bought another one the same. Much better than spending $800 on a Macpac Olympus (which has its place, but it's not car camping.)
