I was wondering if you all could give us some advice? (this might get long)
We have the chance to purchase a nice 8 ft palomino pop-up for $1000 from a family member. (Does that sound reasonable?) We have been tent campers for several years (8). Have no clue about campers.
We go camping about 1-2 times a summer but we think we would go more if it was not such a hassle to get the gear packed and unpacked.
I would like to take the camper on out of state vacations (ideally to FW next summer ) as well as hitting the state/national parks. Is it hard to pull a pop up on long trips? We have a toyota sienna. We would be coming from wisconsin and I am concerned about traveling through the mountains. Would it be hard on the van?
Sorry for all the questions. I am just not sure if we should go for it or not. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. We get first shot at the camper so we need to let them know. Thanks in advance for the input
