All these nylon tent recommendations, meanwhile in 10+ years into a Kodiak canvas I can use 4 season with room and comfort to spare.
Canvas is the way to go. Worth the weight and pack size penalty for the climate control, comfort, durability, and weather protection any day
Odd ball here… I use a Kodiak tent. Heavy canvas and TALL. Pretty easy to standup. They are Expensive as hell and to heavy but the wife likes how it looks.
I have done multi-stop trips with both canvas (Kodiac) and synthetic (Coleman and Kelty) tents.
Canvas tents, if taken down in the rain, can take DAYS to dry... (rolled up, the water will soak through EVERYTHING) stored is a sealed car (because it's raining!) it will only take a few hours for that mildew smell to start... they are heavy, and take up a ton of space when packing. Double heavy when wet!
Synthetic tents on the other hand, need only an hour and a light breeze to dry out... can sit overnight in a car while soaked, are smaller and lighter to pack... but can be more fiddling to set up.
With your multiple set up and teardown itinerary, I would suggest synthetic.
Canvas are great for longer duration trips, cold weather, severe weather, simple set up, interior space, and long life (if properly maintained).
A white or tan canvas Springbar or springbar clone (Kodiak, Teton Mesa, white duck) is a more space efficient option. If it had.white zippers and mosquito mesh it would pass for a norman double bell.pavilion without your glasses on. I pin dagging to the shade fly for extra verisimilitude. I can tear down our 10 x 14 solo and set it up with 5 minutes of one person's help
