I wish. toys are expensive here. 6k doesn't get you much more than a water damaged mess of a travel trailer here but gets you one heck of a popup.
Jebby is absolutely correct - here's an example, mint 2007 Fleetwood Sun Valley ... haven't seen it in person but I'd have little doubt it's exactly as described. I'm like most though - been there, done that, just can't get past the downsides of tenting, otherwise a popup like this makes FAR more sense than a travel trailer that costs many times more to buy and to maintain AND one that often gets used far less than the owner originally anticipated. :p
As an aside we recently took friends of ours visiting from Downunder camping to one of our provincial parks but because our 19' couple's travel trailer that suits my wife & I just fine doesn't sleep any more than an adult couple they had to sleep in a tent - and boy did it pour the second night! Ironically a popup like that Sun Valley would have accommodated all of us just fine, nice & dry, no need for a tent. :)
