My kayaking group likes to do camping weekends - and since most of them are tenters, they often stay at rustic campgrounds. Places my Class C would never fit - and I'm too old and arthritic to be sleeping on the ground....LOL! A popup was the obvious choice - now I can be sitting around a campfire with my friends.
Even though my popup only weighs about 1000 lbs, I still had to add air bags to my 2014 Ram 1500; but it was an $85 upgrade that made a HUGE difference. I recently was driving in 35 mph side gusts of wind, and the truck/camper drove like the family sedan....LOL! I haven't taken it on any winter campouts (yet) - but if my friends can stay warm in a tent - I can certainly do the same in my camper.
