✅ ❌ 6 popup camper PROS and CONS - family travel and camping 

Thank you, that was very informative. Sounds like you have a wonderful family life. I enjoyed homeschooling my 4 children and being able to travel more and learn from the real world together. Brings back many happy memories. I would have loved to have heard more from the kids, too. Take care!

WE GOT A FOREST RIVER 2280 BHESP POP UP. WE LOVE POP UP CAMPING AS WELL.

We had a 60’s pop up during the 70’s when I was a kid. It had the two beds and a dinette and that was it! No power, no water, not even a door. It had a zip up tent door. My parents hauled three kids all over Canada with that and we loved it. My husband and I are now retired and have downsized to a pop up. My mom is amazed that it has power and water and a real door. Ha! Our heater doesn’t work, so we just haul a portable plug in heater and my husband uses his electric blanket. Last week we spent a week camping. It got down to 6C at night ~42F. The air was cool but inside my sleeping bag it was 26C or ~79F so we stayed nice and warm. We never even turned on the electric heater. Nothing beats waking up to the sunrise with all of your windows open on the bed end and just seeing the red sky, the trees, and the water. I got woken up at 2am one night by a truck idling with its high beams on pointed right at me. Ugh. He was good when I walked over and asked him to turn his lights out - he didn’t even realize that we were there. The only downfall where we live is that in the summer sunset is about 10:30pm and the sun rises again around 3:30am. Makes for a short sleep if the light wakes you. We’ve got blackout curtains, but I love to sleep with my bed end wide open. My husband bought me an old fashioned sleep mask for those long days/short nights. I’m blessed in that my mom has a huge empty garage. After we’ve camped, we can fully set it up inside of there to air out. Such a bonus for us! I’m glad that we downsized back to a pop up, it sure is a great feeling being out in nature. I enjoy your channel!

we bought a 2009 coachmen clipper last year ,best money i ever spent! we had such a great summer! :)

Nawwww, what a sweet family :) I love my old poptop, I just love the freedom

I love pop up trailers

Agree with you about the versatility of a popup camper. Our family had one in the 1990s and it served us well and didn't break our small budget.

awesome and informative,,,thank you

I loved your video! We are getting one tomorrow & this was useful.

I hated tent camping as a kid and younger adult so I am surprised I am loving it with our pop up trailer in my 50s.

“We didn’t have coffee!” True pnw folks right there :) Love your videos! We just bought a pop up last fall. We haven’t used it yet. :) looking forward to it this summer. Question: we live in PNW. When your camping in the rain. How do you dry out your pop up during the long rainy winters (like when you get back home).

Just started watching your video and you said your not limited in where you can take a pop up camper but you can't take them in certain national parks for instance Fishing Bridge in Yellowstone doesn't allow them and there are others that say they allow campers as long as the canvas isn't exposed which we know that's what popups do. Just thought I would let you know you should check before making a trip

Our major pros are the gas mileage and the windows!! ♡♡ especially vs an enclosed travel trailer. Biggest con would be not being able to jump in the camper at a rest stop and fix lunch or go potty!

How do you keep the water tank and hose from freezing when it is below 32 degrees out? Drunk people at midnight and dogs barking is not a good sound to hear.
