I have a 3-people rectangular dome tent that's my preferred tent for camping. I bought it because it is big enough for me to bring my bicycle inside at night if I'm camping near others. I don't take a chance on my bicycle being stolen or vandalized at night whilst I'm sleeping. I just wish t hat the fly for my dome tent was big enough to reach the ground. Again, if I think inclement weather is highly likely on my trip, I'll bring my tarp too. There's been many a time when I've pitched the tarp first, because it was raining heavily, and then pitched my tent under the tarp. Ditto for breaking camp if it's raining = pack up the tent first and then the tarp. The tarp keeps the tent nice and dry.
Cheers
