We are considering a small Airstream, but wondering if there are other brands of decent quality. -- John *H* Check these: http://www.trailmanor.com/ One of my favorites: http://www.hilotrailer.com/ 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?). -- John *H* 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. Thewww.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. So are you placing pop up campers at the same comfort and quality level as an Airstream? If you recall, that was the base line set by the original poster. Eh? I am not putting down pop up campers............heck, I owned one when I was in college and it served my camping needs during those tough financial years. They are not the same popup anymore. http://www.trailmanor.com/ Warp17 has already seen that. He's just trolling for the attention he's not getting at Chuck's place. |
