I have two Coleman tents which give plenty of room (Rock Springs and Coastline) and also a small Karrimor that I may use for a 'one night' trip.
Im also experimenting with just a tarp and groundsheet which could be a one night option also if weather is settled.
Finally, I am experimenting with reducing pack size of all my tents by removing poles and using compression sacks...the poles could then be simply fixed to top of panniers. Tent pack size is usually governed by pole length and this can be reduced. I may look to attach a small bore plastic pipe on side of bike that poles could be slipped in to.....welcome your thoughts on that.
