Popups are inevitably a camping experience, not an RVing experience. If your wife doesn't like camping, there's not much cure for it.
I like to say that if people ENJOY tent camping, but desire a better night's sleep and a few more conveniences, a popup is perfect. If people hate tent camping, a popup ain't going to be enough better to make them happy.
It's also why I think the pup manufacturers have made a huge market share mistake in focusing all their marketing on loaded luxo-models. Those aren't going to sell in enough numbers to work. A pup has to be an upgrade to a tent, not a poor man's RV. It's a fantastic tent, but a lousy RV. Market to those who LIKED their tents, but just want a LITTLE more comfort.
I have to agree. My wife hates tent camping and hated (to a lesser degree) pop up camping.
While not a person who really likes camping, she makes do as long as she has some comforts like we've had in the Jay Flight 19BH and the newer 26BH.
The Starcraft 2406 was not her thing, with the hot bunkends from the sun beating down, to bending down for everything. The lack of privacy was just icing on the cake but she made do even with a curtain covered bathroom. Now that our family is bigger, her demands are greater in what she must have in a camper. I just don't think I can find a pop up that will make her happy like the Jay Flights.
