Thanks everyone. After reading all of this, I think we will stick with a PUP. I looked at my owner's manual again and it says there is a towing limit of 3,050# when you have five passengers. Of course, that's assuming everyone weighs 150# and my kids certainly don't, but throw in some car seats and all their stuff and maybe we're there.
I had not thought about the height of the trailer and gas mileage. A scamp sounds nice and I did find an RPod on Craigslist, but I don't think any of them would sleep a family of 5 comfortably.IdaD wrote:
Then when you get to the campsite your wife and kids are free to get in the trailer immediately to start cooking dinner or get their toys out or whatever while you disconnect, drop the stabliizers, and etc.
I suppose the one downside to not getting a trailer is that my *husband* can't get inside immediately to start cooking my dinner. ;)
They wouldn't be going into the TT either. have to move the TT, and raise, and lower the tongue to level. Can't be inside while all that is going on. I believe you have made the right choice.
And there are pups with auto raising roofs. One Fleetwood model would even slide out the bunk ends automatically. Camping with a pup really is a breeze
