I have a 10x12 canvas wall tent from Davis Tent out of Denver. Includes a vinyl 10x20 rain fly, which creates a a cooking area outside the tent of 10 wide x 8 deep. I have a 3/4 floor, with a small carpet which can be hauled out and shook, if necessary. The wood stove is a Davis as well, which looks like a std round iron cylinder stove. The frame system is traditional vs internal full frame, which IMHO helps to keep the tent down tight on uneven ground. Sleeps 3 tight with stove, 2 uber luxurious. All components from Davis are top notch. Add the military issue 9" angle tent stakes, and the tent is going nowhere in wind. I have had this tent for 5 years on numerous trips to Colorado and Utah. Works really well in snow, cold and wind. No worries.
A note on wall tent size. I went slightly smaller as it was sometimes a trick to find flat enough ground in mountainous terrain that allowed a good, tight pitch with the bigger tents. If you had two larger tents in camp, most often someone had to compromise on non-level ground. This can cause big problems in wind. Sometimes it is better to have two smaller tents in camp rather than one really large one.
