Other than dirt bagging this is the fastest tent I've set up. Clip the dog leash onto the lid. Undo the 2 latches. Give it a little nudge and it's up. Closing it is almost as simple with two extra steps. The first is making sure the windows are about halfway open to let air out as the top closes. Then tucking in the tent walls near the hinge before the lid is fully closed.
For any 2 person RTT I can see where leaving the mattress in is necessary. Not so with the Solo. I was sleeping on a Exped Mega Mat and it's faster to take the mattress out then trying to partially deflate it so the tent wall fabric has enough space when the lid is closed. Rolling it up on the tailgate with my body weight and a short dowel to get the air out took less time than figuring out the tangle of Exped's zipperless storage bag for the mattress.
Even with the long Mega Mat there was plenty of floor space for things like boots, keys, wallets, etc. There's a battery powered light on the ceiling along with a Velcro pouch. I'm going to expand on that idea with some more Velcro panels and some BROG bags. Keep tent zipper lubricant and the like in them. Make a storage space for the rainfly.
Air springs are on the inside to protect the seals from dust but in one of Dave's pics one of my antennas is knocked down. The bush that did that may have snagged an externally mounted spring as well.
Even with some rainy nights going out and coming back home. While the composite panels got really cold I didn't have a problem with condensation. There's a vent at the hinge base and leaving the rear window slightly open created a air current to let humid air escape.
