We have a Coleman Weathermaster 8 which has a divider you can open up. We love the space and the ability to stand upright. It takes two to set up and take down.
We have the Coleman Weathermaster 8 which is nice and tall. No vestibule as it has 2 rooms, but the 6 seems about identical but with a screened in porch. Of all of our tents this is the family favorite.
Had a crazy storm blow in while camping in the Chisos mountains. A big ten person tent. It literally bent and tore apart a metal tent pole and scooted us a bit. Now we have a Coleman 8 person Weathermaster. They’re designed to handle inclement weather and I think winds around 50-55 mph I think. And they honor their warrant (ours was slightly expired even!!).
If you love the Naturehike Dune Hot Tent for the tall porch but want a smaller footprint, you can consider the Coleman WeatherMaster or Coleman Skydome with Screen Porch. Both have covered, waterproof porch areas where you can stand and take off your wet gear, and they fit 2-3 people comfortably with room for an air mattress. These are budget-friendly car camping options with easy setup and good weather protection.

The weathermaster series is pretty solid when you can actually find them in stock 😂 I've been looking at similar tents recently and packing size is such a pain with sedans
For what it's worth, those Vango tents are decent quality but yeah the SIG thing is annoying when you're car camping. Have you looked at any of the tunnel style tents? They pack down smaller than dome styles usually and still give you that standing height. The setup can be bit tricky solo at first but once you get hang of it goes pretty quick
Also might be worth checking some of camping Facebook groups for UK - people sell barely used tents there all the time, especially the weathermaster ones that are too big for most people 💀
When I got a new knee, after surgery, and we had a small tent, my bf got us a McMansion tent..for like 8 ppl! I could stand up in it and we could use an air mattress for ease of getting up/laying down. No one said a word, but it was sort of laughable, but I didn't care! It also had space for more stuff in the tent!
What's "normal" anyway? Just have a great time camping!!
