We are rarely in the TM. My wife and I sleep in it. Her blind brother sleeps in the front during the rare times he goes with us.
We also use the TM for cooking and showers.
Our adult children sleep in their own tents.
From the time we get up in the morning until bedtime after the campfire we are outside.
There is no need to get out of the rain or snow during a drought.
Though we could camp all season, we usually limit our camping from April until early November.
We did camp int the rain twice. Week before Christmas at Big Sur and an unusual light rain Memorial weekend two hears ago.
The primary reason that California is expensive is because of the weather tax.
