Coming home from camping is also much easier. With our popup, we pack some clothes, hook up the popup and go. Even some food stuff can be stored (we keep coffee, tea, creamer, and sugar in ours year-round without any problems). With the popup, all the cooking, bedding, eating supplies are stored inside the popup. It was a memorable experience and one that taught us a lesson, have a checklist. We ran to the store and picked up some plates and plastic ware and cooked using aluminum foil and the cans the food came in. One time we went camping and totally forgot all the cooking and eating supplies. It was always a Friday afternoon thing of “let’s go camping”, then rush around to pack the vehicle, kids, dog, clothing, food, cooking utensils, etc. My wife and I never were ones to plan a vacation or weekend getaway when we were younger. Quick getaway Would be on my list as a reason to buy a popup. Sign and Drive Coverage with Good Sam Roadside Assistance! Plans Starting at $49.95! Shop Now!ĥ. It helps to keep the kids entertained on rainy days. We don’t have a TV or DVD player in our popup, but we know plenty of people that do. No having to get dressed, put shoes on, walk to the bathhouse and then come back, undress, get back in bed then try to fall back to sleep after all that activity. So, our middle of the night ‘emergencies’ are handled just as they are at home. Our current popup trailer has all the conveniences that were mentioned above. Īlmost all popups today at least have a stove so that the kids can be fed. You may have some poor weather which prevents you from cooking over a camp stove. It may be too wet or too dry to have a campfire. We love to cook outdoors, but when you are camping sometimes Mother Nature just doesn't want you to play with fire. I know of some campers who have it better in the popup than they do at home. With all the amenities available with popups it is hard to want for anything more. Convenience Would rank high on anyone’s list for using a popup trailer. Even though a popup is still cloth, we feel much more secure in it than in a tent at night.Ĥ. Very few campgrounds are in the city, so nature is always an issue. We had the kids sleep in the back of the truck that trip and we took the dog with us whenever we went anywhere.Ĭamping is by nature a wilderness experience for most of us. With kids and a dog, it was not a safe place to tent camp. Found out that we were in the ‘visiting’ area for some very nice size alligators. We were in Mississippi and camped next to a lagoon. But we have camped in some pretty unique areas. In all the years we have been camping, I can’t remember ever having someone steal anything from us. I am not talking about people stealing things. Security I guess would be my second reason for the popup trailer. It just so happened that we were placed in the runoff from part of the campground. We forgot to check the weather and ended up camping in the remains of a tropical storm. I still remember the last camping trip we took in a tent. It also seemed that tent campers were always the furthest from the bath house. When we were camping, we had to put down the ground mat, put up the tent (family size sleeps 8), bring in the sleeping bags, air mattress, set up the cooking area, and HOPE you were close enough to the bath house for the late night ‘I have to go potty’ runs. Our latest one has a table slide out, giving us about an extra 3 feet of floor space. These are extensions built into the popup trailer that literally slide out from the body of the trailer to provide extra room inside. Good Sam members enjoy instant discounts on fuel.
