How well do the vinyl windows fold and scrunch up when closing the end? Any risk of them creasing or splitting?

They seem to fold up fine. Not sure of the mm spec in the plastic? Can't be too thick, it becomes hard to fold and brittle over time. I live in California, the weather is good most months and condensation is not a huge issue as long as we keep some means of ventilation open.

Ah ok. That does not sound bad at all. The canvas looks great too.

Did they offer a choice of canvas? I have heard that some can make the bunk ends using sunbrella fabric. The Original Rockwood tenting looks like it is coated with vinyl or something. I think snuggles make those.

I kind of like the bunk ends with the screens so you can get fresh air

The company said they can match existing colors. They did not offer the Sunbrella material. The canvas is a coated material similar to the original tent material.

The vinyl unzips giving access to have the screens open for airflow. The vinyl helps to keep the heat in during cold weather and still give natural lighting. It also help to do the same for A/C use in summer.
