That looks crazy, does it pop straight up I'm assuming?

Pops up and the ends slide out. Sleeps 5-6 without too much discomfort. We have 4 in the family, so it should be fine.
Sits high on those 15" wheels, so when it is cranked up, it is a pretty tall beast.

That thing looks awesome. It even has a deck!

Yeah, that is a cool looking pop up. It looks a little like some of the off road pop ups I have seen. You even have alloy wheels. The air conditioner is a nice thing to have.
The deck in front is great for you to bring all your toys. I hope you enjoy your new toy. Maybe we will see each other on the road.
I love that the pop up has a lot of room, but the thing that I miss a little is a bathroom, does yours have one?

Yeah, it has a sort of porta-a-potti. Doubt that it will be used unless there is a dire emergency! Or one of the kids sneaks one in on me...

It would be nasty to have a bathroom in a pop up. Maybe an RV, but not a pop up.
We have a pop up also and we really enjoy it. It has two queen beds on each end and those are really nice. We couldn't do with out the AC either.

I remember when I hiked all over the mountians and went on a 10 canoe trip. Stayed at Cumberland Island for a week, then I got into car camping, with a cooler no less. Sometimes for 5 weeks at a time.
Now, we like the air conditioning. I also have a small 13" tv with a built in dvd player and a small microwave. I also put my small camping matteress under my 4" foam king size bed.
My theory is, the ground has gotten harder because people have been walking more on it since I was born. Now that I am in my 50's, well the ground is naturally much harder, hence a pop up with stove, running water, tv, microwave and of course air conditioning.

Lol. We have only brought a TV once and that was to watch the Survior finale or something like that. A microwave? Are you serious.  That just wouldn't feel like camping to me. We do have a stove we cook on instead of a fire.
How old are your kids?

Tons of pop-up have toilets in them, nothing gross about it at all. Most of the newer units have hard sided walls for the toilet and shower. Generally they are cassette tiolets that flush just like a regular toilet.
I really like the Evolution series, thought about picking one up myself but the family likes our current pop-up. It's got a 12' box with 2 king beds and the slide-out dinette - tons of room in there.

Well, how do you cook your pop corn? Sometimes, we put in a frozen family dinner when we are tired and don't fell like cooking. Some camp sites have cable for the TV and I went ahead and bought a 25 foot cable.
My Son is 17, almost 18. So, not too many more family outings. I have been thinking of getting a RV trailer, kind of a hybred, like a Roo, when I retire in a few years.

Right now, my Son is more interested in driving our 01 4Runner, which he will pretty much inherit when he goes to college next year.

We have been doing a lot of tent camping. I like the theory that the ground is getting harder because of all the walking around on it! After chasing the kids around for a day (ages 4 and 7), I am going to enjoy the pop up bunks instead of the cold, hard earth...
This was one of those opportunities that just came along. I had been looking for a pop up. Really liked the Evolution series and the Starcraft 13RT. Found this deal that was almost too good (the guy just wanted out of his loan on the camper).
I like the ruggedness of it (both inside and out) and the heavy-duty construction. Hope that translates into many years of good service.

That's cool peter. I'm 18 myself and am headed to college next year. Camping has a lot to offer and especailly for a family. I have good memories with my family. Is your son going to UGA?
