Pop-up -> TT ?
My wife & I are ready to upgrade from our pop-up to a travel trailer. We have a 2003 Coleman Cheyenne that we got in 2006. It has served us well, but she can no longer sleep on the bed. And if we're...

We experienced the same recently. 10 great years with our Jayco Baja 10Z popup. But we realized that we were transitioning from long weekend and week-long destination camping to more long distance traveling with overnight stops which became a real hassle with the popup.
We already had the truck, so our choice was a Nash 23D travel trailer. We wanted something not too small but not too big as we tend to the national and state park style campgrounds as well as dispersed camping.
We picked the Nash because they are made for off-highway use, slightly lifted and with a sturdy in-house built frame. They do tend to be heavier than the typical. We are quite happy with our choice and would recommend.
Random thoughts:
- Haphazard quality seems to be standard in the RV industry.
- Not familiar with the Sequoia, if that will be your tow vehicle, pay close attention to PAYLOAD, and use the trailer GVWR rather than "dry" weight for calculating your capabilities.
- Find a floorplan you like, then start comparing the offerings.
- While we were able to store the popup at home, we have to rent storage space for the TT.
Good luck and happy camping!
