We need to purchase a good new car camping tent. It needs to fit a queen-sized air mattress and all the stuff my wife needs inside the tent.
Any suggestions?
REI's selection seemed small and relatively pricey. Costco has two Coleman tents: 5-man instant dome for $79, and 10-person instant cabin for $199. Not sure I trust the rain-fly and seams on these Colemans for Colorado conditions.

Perhaps some of you have experience with tents that fall between these two quality levels and price-points (REI and Coleman)
I already own a backpacking tent and hammock set-up for hiking. This structure is strictly for car-camping with the wife. Our last model was a 10 x 18 cheapie scored on a Campmoor discount. Perhaps too big, but nice to be able to stand up in. It was certainly reliable in heavy wind and rain for many years.
I'd welcome your input.
