Thanks guys! Now I'm drooling over tents. Right now I have 7, 3-season, mostly good for mild to moderate weather tents, 1 of which might fit most of Dennis' requirements but not all.
My current have it favorite is our EURKA Apex4. It's meant for 4 people. It sleeps my hubby, son and I ok, and my son and I perfectly. (Well, as perfectly as possible with a thrashing octopus sleeping beside me.) It did an awesome job in 3 days of torrential Ontario thunderstorms 2 summers ago. The fly is great, the two doors excellent, good ventilation, the 2 vestibules a little smaller than I like and it's big enough for me to change while kneeling. (Which isn't quite tall enough for the absent-minded octopus sometimes.)
Our teenager sleeps in our old Escort 2-man cycling tent (think really big bivvy, with good fly, made specially for Canadian Tire - Canadian retail icon, for the uninitiated) and loves it.
I've always wanted a tent with a tent that suspends from the fly and now I've got the itch to shop!
