I hope this is the right forum. Next year I hope to get into a Pop-up Camper. I'd like to be around the $1,500 range for our purposes. I have towed many a boat and trailer, never owned or used a camper.
Mainly I would like to have something fairly new (+/- 15 years), in good shape, with no leaks or tears in the canvass or netting. An A/C is a must!
That being said, someone told me I can't go into National Parks with a soft-sided camper because of bears or something. True or not, what I'd like to know is are there any "must-knows" about pop-up campers, when selecting one?
For instance ( I am making this up for example),
--Campers after 1985 have safety wiring after a number of campers had fires.
--Campers after 1990 have better canvass and netting
--Campers after 1994 changed the design of the pop-out beds and it's better
--Hard sided campers are required for ( ).
--An oven is a must have
--Avoid ovens, they take up space and inflate the price.
Thanks!
