I camped and traveled all over the west for over 20 years with a tent and PU so I understand your liking for canvas. But your post leaves me hanging a bit. Are you talking about working somewhere and living in the HTT? In which case you have to deal with the seasonal weather. Or are you just traveling and can move with the weather? And what’s long term living? Are you staying on public land or in commercial parks?
There are a VERY FEW campgrounds in the national parks that don’t allow canvas because of potential bear problems. I’ve personally never seen that restriction on any other public land and that’s where I camp almost exclusively. I don’t use commercial cg’s and can’t speak to them, but I would guess those that consider themselves “upscale” might restrict canvas.
Both an HTT and TT would work, but even given the questions, for long term traveling or sitting in one place I think you’ll appreciate hard side over the HTT. No wet canvas to deal with, easier to heat and cool, and maybe a little better security. Or at least the perception of it.
