What do you use? Do you have experience with both?
When I've camped in a tent, it's always been in a nylon tent. But I've heard that canvas tents are way better- they are easier to keep warm and don't warm up as much in direct sunlight as nylon.
I recently spent a pretty chilly night on Twin Cone inside a nylon tent. I know this could have been made better with better sleeping bags.
I've been tossing around the idea of getting a canvas tent, but storage inside my Explorer is tight- mostly because my camping buddies need the backseat (7.5 year old daughter and 1 year old dog). Does your canvas tent have a floor? Do you use cots to sleep on? Do you have a wood stove? How big is it and how much space does it take up when folded up?
I know I need to look into some kind of better roof storage. I have the factory crossbars but no basket to put on them. I've been tossing around the idea of getting a full length roof basket made that would be low profile and permanently attached for additional load carrying duties.
