Thanks Bleugoat and Trailgranny50 - those are all good things to know! Yes, we plan on haunting the RV Shows this winter, if we haven't found something by then. I'm kind of itching to get back into the woods - have been known to throw my cot/sleeping bag/"Luggable Loo" in the back of an E-150 cargo van and call it my "redneck motorhome". HUBBY is the one who prefers something a bit more refined....LOL!!!
I've had several pop-up campers and never had much trouble with the canvas/vinyl. I'm blessed to have a big heated barn to open it up and let it dry if needed. The only trouble with trailer popups is my (adult) kids keep begging to buy them from me :-) I guess it's the price I pay for teaching my kids/grandkids to love the outdoors as much as I do.
