Au Seeker 2,023 Posted July 3 Any time you can get off the ground it's a step up, much softer and critters have to learn to climb to snuggle up to you!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisski 519 Posted July 3 That's nice. I have my RV I take my family in. Sometimes if I do an overnight detecting, I will a put cot up in the back of a truck. I really don't think I'll ever put a mat and a sleeping bag on the ground again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azdigger 1,060 Posted July 3 At the fall outing I had a tent, with a cot and all . But this is so much better.....just a few mins to put it up and then I am ready....can tow it with my little van for gas milage, that helps. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

homefire 2,387 Posted July 8 (edited) Those little pop ups are cool for sure. The one thing there not worth a crap at is being put away DAMP ! Just takes once and Mold sets in and there finished. Edited July 8 by homefire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Tom 656 Posted July 8 One thing to watch out for is honey bees. When out back not being used it is forgotten about and not checked on very much. I have been called out a few times to get a swarm out of a camper and it is not very easy to do so especially after they have been in there for quite a while. There is always a place for them to get in and nice and dark as they like it. Might hang a pest strip in there when not being used. Old Tom 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terry Soloman 575 Posted July 9 Congrats on your pop-up! There was a "Pop-up" club that used to meet out by Bumblebee back in the '70s. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
