Here is my $.02
Buy used (newer model) and NOT brand new (for half the price)
1. In a pop-up, layout is EVERYTHING!
2. For Dry Camping, buy a spartan pop-up (keep it simple!)

4. "Add on room" that attached to the awning is VERY useful in Dry Camping
5. Outside storage access is a blessing
On used unit check:
- Roof corners
- Soft area on the floor/storage box
- Canvas condition
- Awning condition
- Frame integrity
- look for mouse drooping in refrigerator isolation (they are hard to remove) as rodents LOVE pop-ups!
