Gazelle T4 Tandem Hub tents would be perfect. Five minute set up and plenty of room. I (64M) have had one for two years and love it. They are not cheap but you will have it for a long time.
Never counted until today. But I have 10.... 1 in a box that I never even opened. I think I have a problem lol.
With that said, the Gazelle T4 tandem is a solid tent.
Ive got a T4 tandem overland edition and I’ve NEVER loved a tent like I do this one. I’ve camped in non stop downpours and it’s never leaked on me. So much space and I can stand up anywhere in that thing. Never had a problem with winds so can’t say too much about that aspect. Easy to put up/teardown and the bag is oversized so I’m not wrestling with it to try to pack back in. Seriously if and when this thing goes I’m buying another.
Gazelle is a good choice and the 6p (the 4p is barely adequate for 1 with a cot and gear because of the lack of straight walls) is probably better but don't know if this meets your budget. Plus, it's folded size is HUGE, You need a truck or sizeable SUV to fit it. It stands at about 5 feet tall when folded down. There have been complaints about ventilation. Their mesh windows are so fine that they don't allow a lot of air flow. As well, the door is oddly positioned and if you have little ones in and out, it could be awkward.
You can look at some good Coleman easy up tents that could serve you well.
I upgraded the T4 to the T-Hex Hub Overland Edition and have been very pleased. It fits two big cots plus one for the dog and still has plenty of space to move around. It's entry is on a flat face, not on a corner like the T4 which is a huge benefit in my opinion.
Only have had a chance to camp in it once, but quality seems as good as the T4. Did fine in 20MPH winds once we got all the guy lines pegged.
I got it it direct from Gazelle for 640$, free shipping on a black friday promotion. Unfortunately it's not listed on their website at the moment and it's over 1k$ on Amazon... so outside your budget for the time being anyways.
I bought the Gazelle T4 in 2024 direct from their website. It’s been great. Only downside is its length, but that is also part of what makes it so easy to set up. When you said $500 delivered i had to go back and see what I paid because that sounded ridiculous. Turns out, I paid $279.99 delivered. Looks like they are indeed just under $500 now. That is a huge increase in just two years.
I’ve used the T4 on its own when going off the beaten path, and I ears used it as a supplement to my teardrop so I can store things and actually stand when I’m changing my clothes. It’s so easy to set up, I find it to be superior to a RTT since I can just drive away and hit the trails instead of having more weight on top of my vehicle.

Spacious vestibule, strong in storms, but rainfly tricky solo.
