A previous poster spoke very fondly about his pop up because it suits him so well. I guess that's me and my MH, too. Alone on the road, I don't need to go out the door except for safety checks. The kitchen, a hot shower, and a nap in front of the TV are all steps from my captain's chair and all I have to do is pull over. I prefer to hit the road early, then stop after about 100 miles, make breakfast, shower up, and get back on the
road. To each her own.
