Mike, very nice pop up. When it comes do doing things "easier" there are lots of ways to look at that. I had a pop up that our girls grew up in. We had it for 17 years, moved up (?) to a hybrid and now have a regular trailer. I found our old pop up on Craigslist and bought it back about 3 years ago, fixed it up and turned it over to our youngest daughter. I love that trailer.
Each move we made created issues for us. Things got easier for us in that we did far less packing before trips. All of the dishes, bedding and cooking utensils remained in the trailer. The refrigerator was a huge step up because I no longer had to pack heavy ice boxes out to the trailer. But, things did get harder for us in that access to some of our old places became much more difficult if not impossible. Storage of the trailer was harder, towing more complicated but the care of the trailer, while it did change, was not any more time consuming that what I put into the pop up.
Setting up my current trailer actually takes much less time. Back it in, level it, unhook and you are basically done. I guess it comes down to your point of view. What is really important is that you enjoy whatever kind of unit you are using. I still miss the pop up especially when I have to put up a tent now at my favorite fishing spot because I can't get the trailer in.
Your trailer looks great. I would love to have had something as nice as this all those years ago. Looks like you made a good decision. Enjoy every minute using it.
Thanks!
With this new floorplan, I'll be fine tuning storage options as I did in the previous Pop Ups. Every trip and thought, I'm changing around what is stored and where.
I do have a lot of storage but nothing like I had in the 2012 Jayco Jay Flight 26BH bunkhouse travel trailer. That thing was like a storage shed. I think I had every table, chair, latern, and other stuff, in there with still plenty of storage area left. I mean a lot left. I actually found half I had in there hadn't been used in 6 years. I was literally using it as a storage shed. House cleaning was definitely needed!
