schmuckmulliganI have a Tarptent Rainshadow 2 that I use for similar purposes and works great. (It's a 3P tent, confusingly named.) The successor, the Rainshadow 3, also looks good, but appears to be out of stock. The Cloudburst 3 would be okay, but it would be a bit of a squeeze in terms of width. Tarptent Triple Rainbow would probably be my pick.
