A groundcloth will do more to add years to your tent's life than just about any other piece of hardware.use silver 9X12 on one side, brown on another tarpaulin, which I lifted on WallyWorld for my land tarp under the tent. No need for a shower, the canvas handles any rain or wind just fine.My Kodiak https://bestoutdooritems.com/best-canvas-tents/ does not come with a downpour. Some use a tarp stretched over the tent to make it dry.

Soffit vents are to let air in, ridge vents let it out. If the roof vents let the soffit air out, then all the air from the roof vents to the ridge could stagnate, heat up, and cause the shingles to fail. The ridge vent will only work if there is some other air to replace what is leaving. I'm not saying this is happening, only that it's a possibility. If there are gable vents too, then the fresh air could come from them for the peak.

It's all about the "design" and the building science behind it. If you install two things that are supposed to work together, and then add a third that isn't. That third is just going to get in the way...
