Not necessarily just the tent, it's including everything else. I'm aiming for total setup/tear down time

The real pain was trying to get it up on top of the vehicle and installed. I hated doing that.

I suppose models may vary.
I may be exaggerating on my end, I can have it open in 5 minutes with the poles if I hustle.

But it's essentially, Climb up - unzip the cover(first walk around), pull it off, unclip the buckles(second walk around), flip over, attach poles(3rd walk around), pull out the entry cover(this is the most annoying to done). Even worst when you have an SUV and everything is done above your head.
