I gotta admit I love the open feel of a tent at night, this has more room and is much more convenient with not having to load and unload a tent, setup would be quicker as well. The biggest draw back to these is like a tent, you don't want to put them away wet, and when you do you'll want to put them back up to air out and dry.

Have so many fond memories when I was a kid in the 1970's of my my Parents taking us all over the U.S. and camping in a popup. Loved having all the windows zipped down feeling the breeze at night when we slept.

Finally a manufacturer builds a modern pop up that can be towed by folks who do not want to invest in large haulers. I see so many post in forums by people stating they want a camper but want to tow with their Sienna or Highlander or what have you. This fits the bill for a market that gets overlooked.

Great job Uncle Josh profiling this system!

A very nice pop up. I grew up with pop up campers. Im so glad they are still being made.

I just bought the 2023 model from my local dealer last week. This is our first camper. Thank you Josh for the great videos. They really helped decide on which one to purchase.

[lalathorpe]

Love it.. yes to A/C @ power lift.. yes to NO bath room will always be at a camp ground. .. love the inside .. awesome.. great tour... it would be like real camping!!! Thanks Josh!

Soooo much better than the 1970 something Starcraft we started with back in the 90s. This is a pretty cool pop-up. 12v fridge?? A/C ? Fans ?? Power lift? Wow But we are old now, sticking to Glamping!

[edpeck]

Josh, season a pop-up or hybrid, that's just another thing that the dealer forgot to tell us about our hybrid. Second time out it rained like no tomorrow, the ends leaked, closed up in 15 minutes and back home. I did what you said without knowing and now we are fine, Thanks

I just picked mine up yesterday, got it set up in the driveway. Mine came with solar, it actually does a pretty good job keeping the battery topped off. No bathroom, no problem. I bought the Joolca Nomad with the double shower tent. That works great and it's hot water on demand!

[mrs.antihero]

This is a great first camper! I do love that it "still feels like camping", it's small and manageable, still sleeps 4, very few frills- but the ones it does have are great and very useful.
I like the solar prep, the 3-way fridge, the portable stove and table (as we'd be using them outside mostly anyway), the windows all around for airflow, natural light and outside view, the white, reflective roof. That A.C. option is a nice upgrade for when it's oppressively hot, (especially factory installed/ warranted), and a furnace for uncomfortably chilly nights. I love the heated mattresses! I get so cold at night up in the mountains. This would save us some blankets and help me sleep better, I bet. (Plus, how cozy and relaxing is it to climb into a nice warmed bed?!)
I, personally, like green more than orange for the paint accents, but that really doesn't matter at all. (As long as the whole thing isn't orange, lol.)
Thank you for talking about seasoning. I don't know how I ever would have learned that.

That’s gotta be the classiest pop up I’ve seen yet. Don’t know if I could talk the significant other into it though. I wish the fridge were a bit bigger though. It looks like the size of an electric cooler... which might be okay for a day or two.

[chrischapman]

This is pretty close to the exact same thing we started with not long ago.
It was in the 90's when we decided to get back out and enjoy now that the kids were getting to the age to enjoy it as well when I found a used Tenter and brought it home.
That weekend was our first to get back and addiction took over worse than any drug could do to us.
It only took a season to realize how much it would be nice to have a place to sit in the middle of the night when nature has called.
The High Low lasted a season as well.
Then the diesel pusher.
Then the 33' pull behind until today...
Looking for the full time, in the 40s range to pull behind the dually/cummins with a Duramax in the future

Like many have said....
Buy bigger than you think you need. It'll save you a bunch of money!

Same layout as my 2011. Something drastic would be refreshing.loved my pop up, great starter.

Just picked up our '22 1940LTD yesterday. Was surprised it didn't come with a 3-way fridge but a 12v only but we got the roof solar so should be fine as long as there's enough sun to offset the fridge and lights use. We also got the duel propane tanks and a griddle so will be learning to cook on the flat surface on our first camping trip next month. I also found it strange that the gas line that is supposed to be available inside or out was blocked off from the countertop opening hole. The walkthru guy told me that he was finding that more often from Forest River so they had to drill a hole thru the connecting cabinet opening so the line could be pulled thru when needed inside. Next, I'll be practicing backing it since it's been years and my backing skills went away...lol. Thank goodness the 1940LTD is light enough that we pushed it into the garage by hand. Always love your videos!

Having spent the majority of my summer vacations as a kid (ages 0-19) in pop-ups; I just dont like some of the things I see in the newer models.... First 9 years of my life my family was using an old 1970s era Starcraft about the same size as this I would say. The ratchet crank was in the same location, and wasnt covered by a shield at all. After that was sold my parents purchased new 1998 Coleman Fleetwood Mesa, and I remember the day we picked up from the dealer in Carlise PA because the salesman took me around it and showed me hands on how to set it up for mum and dad. Both of those campers.... and other popup makers were usually pretty good about keeping the stove and sink on the same side in the swinging galley, and having the dinette on the opposite side. Neither one had fridges, or AC; heck the Colemand only had heat installed 4 years after we bought it when we also needed brakes installed for a cross country trip to Washington. The cooler nook under the counter with a hatch to the outside is still something I WISH would make a return on new campers today.

We bought this model a couple of months ago (2023). It has a lot of counter space compared to other models and it is light enough to tow with our 2017 Toyota Sienna with weight capacity left over to carry equipment. It is just a basic and simple pop up - cheap to operate and maintain. The first thing I did was remove the Powerwinch. It is a breakdown waiting to happen and it is super noisy. It relies on a good battery to operate and it has relays and limit switches that can and will go bad. You can manually crank the winch in the event of a malfunction with a power drill and socket but it takes 10 times as long. I installed a Goshen DLB1200A manual winch and it only takes about 45 seconds to crank up the roof. I would have rather had a manual winch from the factory with a standard gas griddle in lieu of the Powerwinch and gas 2 burner stove. Most RV manufacturers have gone away from 3 way refrigerators since 2022 in favor of 12 VDC models only so boondocking will require battery power with solar charging or a gas generator. Build quality is good at this price point but like everything else the prices have increased dramatically since 2020.

Your videos are awesome! I'm taking delivery on a 2023 on Friday and your videos helped me really narrow down what I wanted! Thanks 😊

[fperry]

I like it, however I wonder if the can put bigger tires for them to go out in the woods deeper.

[jpd]

Just purchased one of these, has the AC/ Solar, can't wait for the camping season. This is our third pop up. We were looking at a hard shell, but that required a truck. I can pull this with my 2021 Subaru Outback with still being underweight loaded up.

[rayyencha]

Nice to aeea a pop up on the program, keep them coming.
