I think so to rebar! this has been my goal since day one when I began planning.
My main concern with soft sides was the lack of security and inclement weather,
On our last two tent camping trips we had to:
1. erect our tent in a full on down pour
2. we came back to completely soaked camping gear due to a freak thunderstorm blowing rain sideways and up and over our rainfly
And the security thing? well, a friend of mine came by one day to show of his hybrid camper which had soft side popouts. He demonstrated how it was set up and as I watched him fold out the beds and VELCRO down the sides I asked "what's to stop someone from just peeling up the velcro and helping themselves to your laptop sitting on the bed?" he got a serious look and said "not a damn thing".
Not that I think the places we have or will visit are rampant with crime I'm just helping keep folks honest
