Considering another Pop Up BUT
I was considering another pop up but my wife demands some features. 1st a toilet, 2nd a TV for rain days and late night, 3rd a Freezer for pizzas and other things, and 4th above knee kitchen item storage.
Jayco is completely out. In fact there's no storage on their 1208SC at all. No silverware, towel, or pot/pan storage. Then there's no food storage or even a place to put a 28 bottle case of water.
We don't want a Highwall as cost is overpriced.
I've yet to find a freezer in a Pop Up other than a Highwall, and little cabinet room to bring a stand alone compressor portable freezer. The only pop ups that offer overhead storage are Forest River in their Rockwood campers, and don't have any competent dealer service shops to even deal with preventive maintenance or even warranty repairs.
There's no Coachmen/Viking or Palomino dealers within a 2.5 hour drive. And there's no Jayco or Starcraft pop up Floorplans I'd even consider. I actually hate the Jayco pop ups the worst. They have no storage at all, have interior lift system, table heights and benchs are much lower than any other competitor and feel child like, and uncomfortable.
So the only dealers that even sell pop ups near us that I like are Forest River and they don't have any service techs to repair anything and the other being Jayco, that I won't consider. I also had horrible experiences with Forest River Rockwood pop ups, service, and customer service that makes me uncomfortable even considering them.
I was happy to see that the Hot water heaters in most have been upgraded to DSI but the thetford cassette toilet still are not tied into the water system's holding tank and pump.
They must have water poured in to the toilets own small fresh water tank, through a funnel from a portable gallon tank. Then you must empty that fresh water from the toilet before traveling or as thetford says, damage may happen. Why haven't they put in a more up to date toilet system yet?
Either I keep my travel trailer or go back to tenting if the need arises.
The Forest River I was considering was the 2716G Premier but was put off when I saw the toilet fill wasn't tied into the water system!
The 2716G has enough cabinet top space and storage that we need and a stop to put a TV that can be viewed from the seated positions but I don't want to deal with a porti potty when I paying for a toilet. At price of $8k when I was by myself, that was OK, but not at prices of $13K when I have a family that will use it often.
Are there any pop ups that have a toilet tied into the water system other than highwalls?
