Anyone have one, or know anything about them. We are considering a

Thanks Loogy, but I can't get the wife interested in a 'pop top' no
matter
how fancy. She thinks Airstreams are the way to go, and I'm wanting
to look
at Coachmen (man?).

Listen to the village idiot Hertvick!! He doesn't even realize that
the "pop tops" I've mentioned are first class. Airstreams are heavy as
hell. I've got a guy lives down the street that works for one of the
largest RV places in the Atlanta area, but I'm sure Jim knows more
than he does.......
A popup. ROTF!!!!!!!!
Yup, they come as 5th wheels, hard sided, extendable, etc. Saves lots
in fuel while towing. The Chalet is a completely hardsided unit. And
to make it on topic for boats, I have a slide in pop-up camper for the
truck so I can tow the boat when we go to remote lakes camping. The
www.palominorv.com Bronco B-800 was fine for a 7 week trip to Alaska 2
years ago. Got 15 mpg for the complete trip with a 2004 Diesel Chevy.
Buddy with the same model truck and a 30' 5th wheel got about 11 mpg on
the trip. Lots less air drag and not the top heavy unit like a Lance.
My Son in law has a Four Wheel Camper popup on his Tundra.
http://www.fourwheelcampers.com/ Only weighs about 800#. Aluminum
frame. The Airstreams are overpriced. Paying for the name. Look at
used travel trailers, there has to be a bunch repo-ed and people about
to get repo-ed out there with the economy as it is.

I agree that Airstreams are over priced, but try to find a bargain in
used
ones! Hell, the used ones sell for damn near the same price as the new
ones, unless it's twenty years old.


Off topic crap

Not as much as your political stuff. Lots of people use a travel trailer
while at the lake with the boat. Guy across the street, stores his trailer
near the lake, and then tows the boat up, parks the boat, then gets the
trailer from storage about 2 miles away and has nice quarters for the
weekend.
