Personally, I've never cared for pop ups. We traveled with friends that had one for several years and there's too many disadvantages compared to travel trailers in my opinion. I know, a lot of folks love them and they can be towed by smaller vehicles, but the set up, take down, packing, etc never was something I wanted to do. They don't do well in cold weather and need to be set back up when you get home if the fabric is wet to prevent mildew.
Once you go to a travel travel trailer with all the modern amenities, you'll never go back.
