can you winter camp in a pop up?
So this is my first camper, and I was just curious can you winter camp in a pop up, or do you risk cracking the vinyl tent, when opening and closing? thanks Ken

I basic pup with zero water vs a glamper pup loaded to the tilt. The basic Spartan pup: beds, dinette, pump sink,
Glamper: slideout, water heater, cassette pottie, 26 gallon fresh water, shower.
The Spartan would winter camp with ease. Zero water, 1500w heater, good to go.
Glamper would crack cassette pottie view glass, crack open water heater, and burst water lines, and possibly rupture the 20 gallon belly tank if not properly winterized and off limits Nov-April. Let me tell you how much a PITA it was to winterize our old glamper pup. The water pump was under the folding couch. You could not easily reach or finagle a water pump winterizer feed line. I had to fill the belly tank with 8 gallons of antifreeze before the pump would be able to syphon it up. Good riddance glamper!
We have gizmos and I'd recommend those as the number one condensation killer mod.
