A colleague managed to borrow a Screendome for the work display at Northampton Carnival after the original gazebo was destroyed by unseasonable wind. Did the job admirably.
As a proper tent with an inner and groundsheet the Quick Erect Rigidome was brilliant. We had two over about 15 years. Went up in minutes, none of the faffing with yards of pole to be inserted into acres of fabric. As soon as the kids were big enough to help we had an 'SOP' for arrival on site where we each held on to a corner until we'd got it in place. Then once tri-guys were in and it was secured I carried on pegging out, Mrs B and daughter sorted the groundsheets while The Lad unloaded the car.
The dog can have one too:

Saw the wee caravan you're looking at at the NEC camping show last autumn. Too small for us and not right internal layout but for what you envisage, or in support of cycling solo, it would be brilliant.
