I do like that Alaskan though, no overhang, no jacks.
OTOH,

Tents get wet, then mold when packed up

Tents not allowed at many grizzly sites; and not a great idea when allowed in Griz country

I spent 8*30*4 + 5*30*5 nights in tents in the alpine, sub-alpine and deserts as a grad. student. I now have better tents but only use them a few nights a year.

Now, a Vanagon with a tent popup....
