Self-Erecting Tent

This design isn't actually new. When I was in college, I worked in the sporting goods section of a large department store (around 1992). We sold these tents one summer (different manufacturer, I think). They did setup as advertised. They were also very easy to fold back up - you just had to practice the technique a few times.

The major problem with them, though, is that they are really only good for 2-3 seasons, max, and they aren't constructed nearly as well as many other tents on the market. I guess if you are a big car camper, though, and like to go places where the weather is relatively mild, it might be just the thing.
