Vande, I've had one of these for two years and am really liking it.  https://slumberjack.com/overland-8/  Two rooms, pretty bomb proof so far as far as weather goes, and pretty easy to set up.  As another option, you could use one of your backcountry sleep tents to rack out at night (pad/bag, some gear, you know the deal).  And, just set up a screened gazebo for your war room, cook shack, lounging area, etc.  I've done the very thing for many years and just line the walls of the gazebo with clear plastic (thus making the screen portion waterproof).  A small table, propane heater on a 5 gallon tank, a few chairs and you're lounging like a king  ;).. Just another option if you don't want to spring for a large tent this year.  RJ

If it was me and for one year, I would throw a foam pad or three in the back of the truck.  You can use a chunk of plywood and make a bed that is more comfortable than any cot and cheaper than any tent.

Coleman instant cabin. I have the 10x14. Easy set up and works great in most all seasons. Have had it for about 5 years no issues.
:yeah:
