My wife and I bought our 2010 Palomino 4124 in 2013 shortly after we had bought a GMC Terrain for towing a small camper. Paid $6200 for it.
It was in excellent shape inside and out. It takes me (Wife Handicapped) about an hour to set up, and about an hour to pack away.
I'm 75, and usually take a few breaks during the process. (Both Ways)
As described by others, I park it, chock it, level and stabilize it, then crank up the top manually (with Air Conditioning on roof)

Since I bought it, I added the Air Conditioning myself,and I have installed brakes and replaced the tires and battery. That's it. We
have been enjoying out pop up very much since we bought it, but I'm
probably getting close to the point where I'll have to give it up.
But for now, we are off tomorrow for another 5 day adventure in Arizona.
