The loss of #1 was a huge headache for you though, no? Ours waits patiently in the third garage bay and isn't needy at all however long it waits. That's really nice.
Back pain from a pup usually happens only if I'm in a hurry and don't use my head properly. I do have a Coleman with the "back saver" bar brackets which really do work well. Place the bars in place under zero load, get out from under and lift the bunk until it clicks. This lifting is done standing straight up with no bending. Very nice.

Setting up the pup is fast. Setting up CAMP takes the time. Lawn chairs, lantern, water jug, picnic table cloth, kid toys, awning, grey water bucket, outside kitchen kit. I get that done and I'm in the next hour (and sweaty). Still worth it compared to all the costs and downsides of full size RVs to me though.
