Hello. After being a tent camper all my life, I finally purchased my first camper. The wife and I had been planning on purchasing a small travel trailer, but since I'm new to towing I decided the pop up route is probably a better place to start...easier to tow and store. Only drawback is that it does seem to take just as long to set up and tear down as it did our tent and screen house. Positives are it sure is great having a furnace!
This is what we bought in the middle of Feb. A 2021 Rockwood Freedom 2318G with the optional shower / toilet combo. We finally were able to take it out this past weekend for its maiden voyage. Temperatures were still too cold at night to use the water system, but as mentioned, the heat was nice :-) . We also bought a small microwave and have placed it in the space that was likely meant for a TV (small counter space by the queen bed that has electric outlet and antenna connection). That's also a nice plus. Bring leftovers from home and warm them in the microwave for a quick meal.
Here's the camper setup during it's maiden trip to Clifty Falls State Park in IN.
We still have all of our tent camping gear. I plan on using it when I camp solo and my wife still plans on using it when she goes on trips with her girlfriends (she doesn't want anything to do with learning to tow ;-) ). Plus there will still be times when a desired campground may have only tent spaces available....
