One thing about camping out of a small vehicle, which I did a lot in the past is that sleeping space setup inside takes up and wastes a lot of room. I always just slept in the tent.
Can't beat the good feeling of sleeping on the ground and so much space is freed for storage.
Camping in rains - it wasnt super comfortable, but I wouldnt tent camp in really rainy areas anyway because it just always sucks, in a tent, in a truck, in RV or in anything else.
I ended up with great cheap no name pop up typical dome tent with full attached rain fly that performed no worse than any glorified brands in rains, and had super quick take down and instant setup and it had plenty of room.
Slept in grizzly bear country in a tent just fine too, my tent never had a bit of food in it ever of course to contaminate it.
Roof tent is another option but climbing up to it is not for everyone.
I would not want to waste small vehicle space on the sleeping platform.
