I do a lot of dry camping and would not be comfortable on a warm summer night if I didn't have screens on three sides. Hard side trailers can get pretty hot if there is no A/C.
Usually when you pack up in the morning the tent ends are wet from dew; rain has never been a problem. I simply open the ends up in my driveway when the weather is clear--don't even have to prop the canvas up.
When we camp in cool weather we insist on power. Electric mattress pads keep us toasty at night with one small electric heater running. I could see problems in extreme weather.
My biggest problem is lightning storms. You don't get that warm and fuzzy feeling in a tent end!
