Edit, as the pic just appeared.

These are great in hot climates. Jet tent make one called 'bunker bed'.

Mate has one seems ok there is another style on Ebay which are cheaper.
Most here use a stretcher under a side awning, with a swag on top

yep stretcher under the awning is good although i also have a rooftop tent but for budget the stretcher and awning are great.

They look good and solid but I bet they are pricey

Not as much as you'd think, I was seriously thinking about getting one until I scored a swag cheap, just need a decent cot to hold my weight now, looking at maybe an Oztent King Goanna stretcher

They do come with a storm cover [fly] for crappy weather,
only downside I see is very bulky to pack, only 2 would fill the rear of a GQ

looking at the bag in this video Threedogs, the Oztent Bunker is quite a bit less bulky than a swag

Oztrail also have there own version almost identical to the bunker and a lot cheaper
