Campers 101

[earplug]

Much depends on your time and wife. We went from motorcycle, car to pickup camping to popup then she quit. If you only get out for a day or so the hassle of a popup can get old. They eat propane when its cold and windy.
If you have a flat bed trailer, I'd consider a slide in pick up camper, then you won't be stuck on paying two trailer tags and the hassle of two sets of tires etc. I have seen neighbors go from Popup to 18 foot hard side to 25 foot and then buying a F-250.
Do you have friends that camp? If the kids have other kids to play with all is better. Dogs in camp grounds are a hassle.

Almost as much as a wife who doesn't like camping but, wanted to make you happy.

Here is a local company that I am seriously looking at because the aussie products I want are not available in the US.

Still a soft sided unit. A little work here and there on any suspension , gets you similar results.

Why?

I've replaced maybe three lamps in my 2004. Maybe we don't use it enough.

Lower power consumption

Mine was set up to dry camp. LED's solar,inverters and gels. If one is going to dry camp then this becomes important. I do miss mine.

OK, I get that for max battery in a dry camp, but for tails/brake?

We don't dry camp much, but when we do, Meh, I just fire up the genset (quietized) when needed. I can see the benefit of optimizing for dry camping.
