Is there an inexpensive tent (~$200) that doesn't have a detachable rain fly?
I've done a lot of camping, and I have never once used a tent without a rainfly, even in the hot summer, the risk of passing rain, or a cold dip in the night has prevented me from being mesh only.
That being said, setting up a detachable rainfly has always been a PITA. It is never symmetrical, difficult to fold away, annoying to stretch over the tent, requires additional steps in securing it, etc.
Even popup tents still have it as a separate item.
I am looking for an inexpensive non canvas tent that has it built in.
