My wife and I recently ordered two pairs of Disc-O-Beds, one XL and one youth, that we plan to use on future camping excursions for us and our kids. Everyone in the family approves of them, and I feel the weight and setup time are worth the good night's sleep they permit. The only problem is finding a good, reliable tent that can accommodate them. I'm looking for one that can fit a pair of beds on each side, leaving a center aisle between. Bonus if there's another room that can be used as a small sitting/living area. I thought the Gazelle T4 Plus would be the answer, so I ordered one only to find that the aisle setup isn't possible. I also don't want a two-room tent if both rooms have to have bunks in them; we want all the beds to fit in a single room.

Can anyone recommend a good, dependable tent that sets up fairly quickly and can fit two sets of bunks? Thanks!

I have a very close friend of mine that uses a Disc-O-Bed setup for his boys in a Kodiak Flex Bow canvas tent. I believe he has the 8X10 but I think they also make a larger one that may suit your needs better.. I have stayed in it with him on a few horse packing trips to cow camps and was very impressed with the quality size and durability in heavy to extreme mountain weather.

There are a bunch of springbar style of tents. The white ducks have more shoulder room. This style tents are outstanding and very bullet proof.

I haven't heard of White Duck, but will be sure to check it out. I did look into the 10 x 14 Kodiak Flexbow and the Springbar Family Camper, and both seem like they would accommodate two bunks with room to spare. Setup and takedown times seem like they'd be longer than the Gazelle but really not that bad.
