Hi,
Ive noticed that a lot of smaller campers have pop up tops. As Ive never used one, would be great to hear from those who have them. trying to be practical, I made a list yesterday of the possible problems i could see with a pop up. maybe Im way off or overthinking it.
1) Going to the bathroom at night would be difficult as you cant stand up.
2) You would have to get dressed lying down especially if its raining outside
3) using the pop up when its raining is difficult as you cant fold it down again until it dies out, as it would rot otherwise (over time)...like putting a damp tent away.
4) Some physical strength is needed use the pop up.
5) Prone to leaks and require more maintenance
Pros:
1) Great for getting under barriers
I havent heard any other advantages Im afraid.
