Big Popups? HW296 Alternatives?

We are looking to get a popup for our family of 6 for local travel and are currently looking at the Rockwood HW296, but i am not a fan of Berkshire Hathaway products.

Does anyone know of any other big pop ups available?

Thanks!
Mike

    Ha! She's a big girl. Stand's 6'9" tall closed and has tandem axles.

    Yeah, I'm torn between a new one that will live in the shop getting rebuilt after the first couple of months of use or a used one that that's already had most of the loose screws fall out (and some of them put back in).
