Mike, you sound like a good candidate to go back to tent camping. That’s what I am doing. I have two high schoolers now and have no time to maintain an RV. A tent can sit in the closet till time to camp. LOL. The REI Kingdom 8 tent looks great!
Pups are expensive for sure...we wanted a new one one but you don’t have to buy the premier package. You can get a basic pup around 8-10k new that will not have all of the fancy amenities but is still pretty nice.
Just an allegory, You are comparing a mid level trim Mercedes compact to a Low trim Level Ford full size car and wondering why the prices are similar...that’s not really a fair comparison.
Thanks!

I actually thought about getting a 10'X14' Kodiak Canvas Flex-Bow tent but I honestly need AC as I don't do well in the heat, and my 6 year old daughter needs a shower that I can help her with. Wife doesn't much care for camping and absolutely HATES tent camping.
That's why I was considering a pop up again, it has AC and furnace and has a shower/toilet, and a real bed for me.
I considered the Rockwood Freedom 2280 w/o a slide but the slide model was only $400 more and the 2280 was over $1000 more than I feel it should be.
The Rockwood Freedom 2280 with shower, toilet, Air Conditioner is $11,400 which is way overpriced. I was expecting no more than $9,800 for all of it.
I was really considering the Rockwood Freedom 2280 but not at the price the dealer said he had to have.
