"Upgrading" from popup to TT and need info on TT culture.

I wonder about compromise -- perhaps something like an A-liner that has the advantage of being low slung and easy to drag places, but won't tear up your shoulders and back when putting up, because the most force you will have to do manually is enough to lift up the hinged foam wall panels into place and latch them.

Another idea may be a hybrid travel trailer. If you like the bunk space of a pop-up, but want more amenities, this might just be a happy medium.
