Hi, I am new to this world and am considering getting a pop up camper to tow behind my 4Runner. I live in Colorado and camp frequently. I have two kids under two so this is really for when we want to...
In Colorado, you can legally tow w/o brakes if your rig weighs under 3000#.
Have you considered a hardside popup like an ALiner? Really quick and easy to put up/down and you don't ever have to replace the canvas, nor wait for it to dry. If you put a canvas popup away wet it will rot.
Check out popupportal.com for what the popup crowd has to say about things.
And you will save thousands by buying from a private person used. Check out Craigslist.
