I can certainly understand that. We had mold issues with a pop-up years ago that I didn't quite dry out good enough. A real hassle to clean.
I do think you might want to go look at hybrids and understand what the bunk ends are really made of. It's vinyl covered canvas, not straight up canvas. At least any of them made in the last 15 years are. Not at all like older pop-ups or canvas tents. Very easy to deal with. Dry off with a towel if needed, or quickly dry after returning home when packing in the rain.
The hybrid in my sig is our second. The first was an '03 that we owned for 10 years. No leaks or any other issues for that matter.
Either way, what ever you do you'll have a lot of fun and so will your kids.
