Yup, there have been days when I look at a popup near us, with all of the canvas zipped away providing nearly 100% screen for air to breeze through it. But then my DW kicks me and highlights that it has no privacy!

And sure enough, when we open up all the windows in our TM, we do get air flow (especially when we use the roof vent, normally set at power level 1 which is very quiet).

In the winter, the hard sides provide great insulation. A small electric space heater keeps us warm. I wouldn't know, but trying to heat up a canvas popup seems futile to me.
