Check out Pop UP Times. It is a magazine featuring Tent Trailers (Pop Ups). They have a lot of good information and the forums can not be beat for even more information. The people there are very friendly and helpful. www.popuptimes.com

Good luck!

We loved our '98 Coleman Sun Ridge. Coleman makes a sturdy unit. We recently traded it in for a hard side with a hard side pull out bed (Outback 25RRS).

Chcek out my web site, Natasha's Camping Site. It is basically everything you wanted to know about pop up camping.

The page I direct most folks to first is my Frequently Asked Questions Page. From there use the links along the left side of the page to look at different topics.

Good luck - most folks love pop up camping

We have a Viking Epic pop up. No frills, but a wonderful layout. (no crawling over the dinette or anything to get into the bunkends)

We love it and even though we have the funds to purchase a bigger camper and the means to tow it, we are so pleased with it that we are not even considering getting rid of it for years to come.

It has been nothing but great for us. We upgraded just a few weeks ago and put in an AC unit. It has storage space out the wazoo and we truck that puppy everywhere. It is small and light enough that we can tow it with just about anything (mostly our minivan) and i feel totally comfortable with it behind us tooling down any highway doing a pretty good rate of speed.

not to be tacky, but it wasn't too expensive either. New it was around 3 grand.
You can get a uses popup, but inspect it very carefully for:
- easy/smooth motion while lifting or cranking down
- check all interior areas(including inside cabinets and under matresses) for any sign of water leaks. (stains, mildew smells, dampness, air fresheners - we have seen heavy air fresheners used to cover up the oder of mildew)

good luck and happy shopping.
