Thanks Camper 1. We saw these last week when we were camping on the Frio, I was wondering what they were for.

We have the solar covers on our Fleetwood Evolution and they are fabulous! They really help with the cooling of our popup as well as early morning light. I would highly recommend them to all you popup owners.

Hahaha! Well the biggest problem we had with the pop-up was during the last vacation. We drove, and had 2-3 stops in 2-3 days, and had to set that thing up and tear it down, etc every time. Gets pretty old for dad!!! (ME!)

The camper we have has a leaky corner too. I don't really have time to work on it, but it's one of those things that needs to get fixed. It's not in perfect shape, but it's fine! I'd like to get one that we can set everything up in without having to move boxes around, make sure stuff fits under the folding sink, etc.

Also, the canvas on ours had been replaced by the previous owners at some point, and doesn't fit well. And it leaks sometimes too. So a tarp or solar shield may be a good thing! Although, it's one more thing to set up.

And a hint: the site is about pop-ups, but I may expand it to other things. I have to make sure I have a good layout first before I make it live...

I will be watching for your site!!) Good luck on your search for the perfect trailer. I think I finally found the one thats perfect for us, but I had to go thru a few first. You think you want / need this and that, room for everything... it doesn't matter how big or small you go, you still wind up moving stuff round once you get there.

I soooo know what your talking about with the set up and brake down on pop ups. That was the problem with us, I would throw my back out trying to help and was more trouble than I was worth ( as it was so politely put one trip!! ) I love to watch people set them up that have been doing it for a long time. It's like music, they just do it with no effort at all.

Another hint for pop ups and the condensation that builds up between the canvas and the beds. I took a cheap foam egg crate mattress topper from the dollar store and cut it into strips. Poke it in along side of the mattress all the way around. It helped keep the cold out and kept the canvas from sweating. Your sheets wont get wet. Tried and true, I swear!

one last word... bunks, bunks, bunks... great storage and fun for the kids.

can you give us one more hint on your site??!!
