Just remember that the key to popup bliss is to regard them as deluxe tents, not foldup RVs.
The problem with that is that these fold up "tents" cost the same and sometimes more than a full featured travel trailer. That 1206 for 2017 can be around $17,000 which is very close to what my fully featured 29' bunkhouse travel trailer cost me.
Myself, I've been looking at some really nice 4 season tents, either Kodiak Canvas or Eureka, Kelty, or Northface 4 season Expedition tents.
My 2
Eureka tents need seam sealing because they only have half coverage rain flys. I'm done with all that work. I want a tent that doesn't have to be seam sealed and can withstand high winds, thunderstorms, and not leak, break poles, or tear the material. Most have failed I've owned.
After having 2 pop ups, all I really want is a private bathroom in them. Unfortunately none have full privacy curtains around the toilet that would make anyone comfortable to go.
I can do without the shower, or the lousy refrigerators that can't cool much below 50 degrees F. I do want the A/C and furnace though.
As much as I love my Jay Flight, I'd like something easier to store and maintain that would be equivalent to the price of a nice open cargo trailer and canvas tent, right around $3K to $4K brand new. Not happening now though so that's why I'm looking at premium tents.
