I'm in South Central PA, have the Kodiak tent and it seems to rain on me on the last day of every trip! I'm always packing it up in the damn rain!
Drove it back 11 hours from Kentucky and just this weekend 8 hours from Vermont , both times soaked and folded in the back of my TJ.
I just hung it up in my garage and it dried out overnight each time without any problems whatsoever. In fact this last time, I was lazy and left it folded up wet for two days before I dried it out.
It's a robust unit made with quality canvas that is treated - you won't have any problems with it drying out in the Northeast .
You can't beat these tents for weatherability, resistance to the elements and durability if you ask me.
Good luck!
