Pop-up Campers/Trailers

[JMann2380]

This is a little more rugged than a regular popup but still better than regular tent camping. Excuse the pics, they are just cell phone shots with the spring over and matching Raptor wheels.

BUT I still can't get my girlfriend to go with me, whereas with a regular popup I'm sure I could. That Jayco Baja is pretty cool.

I just showed that to my wife, and she said very cool - that's the only kind of pop-up she'd want to use.

Picked it up this past weekend and it towed nicely behind the Raptor. We set it up at the house and started some minor modifications to make it more comfortable and user friendly.

We ran a benchmark test to see if/how long our Honda EU2000i generator would run the A/C. It had no problem running the A/C and battery charger, but when I tried to use the microwave, it went into overload protection. It shouldn't be an issue if we remember to only run one or the other at a time. Also, it ran the A/C continuously for just over 4 hours on 1.1 gallons of fuel. We are very pleased with that!

This weekend we are doing some driveway camping to get our act together before we take it out for real.

Here are a couple pictures of it mated with the truck.

Looks good. What's the advantages of the A-Frame vs. a regular popup? Just no canvas to deal with?

i have a heartland mpg and its very similar to the "r pod". I would save your money and get a nice pop up...they are pretty rugged and seem fairly roomy.

No canvas and it sets up in literally 5 minutes.

We looked at the others with canvas and decided that we really didn't need that much sleeping area for just the two of us. The wife also liked that the hard side provided a greater sense of security.

This one has the toy hauler which resulted in the larger off-road tires/wheels and increased ground clearance over most other standard popups.
