So let me try this again.
Why do you suppose Nephi felt the need to write several times (at least 4 by one count) that his father dwelt in a tent? What is the significance? Is he pointing out that they left all of their wealth behind to go and do as the Lord commanded?

My serious response is that's probably where Lehi actually did rest, relax, study, ponder, pray. Not to mention it was probably hotter than hades where they were.
