Enough cannot be said about your website.....it's one of the most helpful sites I have found. Thank you. As a new pop up convert, the information you have on your site is beyond words. The wife and I have been campers for years, starting with tenting and gradually moving up to our camper van we built in 1990. After many trips all over the country we decided to try pop ups and purchased a 94 Coleman Sequoia. We like it very much, but are still new to it, having used it only twice. As I think about winterizing the pop up, I am already thinking about camping down Cape Cod next summer....can't wait. And thanks again for the site...it's wonderful. Thanks again!

Thanks for the trailer dolly tip- I just ordered one from the site you recommended, after looking all over and not finding a better price. My driveway is very narrow, the road in front of the house is very narrow, and maneuvering the trailer into the drive is extremely frustrating. From now on I unhook on the street and roll it on in! I've also gotten the power cord conversion kit, but have not installed it yet. My popup (1994 Coleman Roanoke) is one of the tiniest ones you've ever seen, so every inch of reclaimed storage space is welcome. Say hello to Natasha from Atticus (Pointer/Beagle mix, or one of the only Chesapeake Bay Poingles) since he came from the Annapolis SPCA too! Carolyn 1994 Coleman Roanoke 2000 Ford Ranger

We have just purchased our first pop-up, been tent camping since scouts a life-time ago! As this is our first camper, and we purchased a (lightly) used 1998 Westlake, we did not get the "training" that would (hopefully!) have come with purchasing new, although the gentleman we bought it from was nice... Your site is the most informative, straight forward, resource for all the little details that I have found on the entire www! Thank you, I have you bookmarked for life! Bill

Love your site! Say hello to Natasha! I'll be adding an outside shower next Spring, although I just saw a new product you should check out: "Hot Water On Demand" by Coleman. It's a portable hot water system heated by Propane. It's awesome! Just search "Hot Water On Demand Coleman" in your search engine, and then search the same on the Coleman site. Thanks, Campygurl. 2002 Palomino Yearling RL

My husband and I are looking for a good used pop-up, has to have a cassette potti since my husband and I are both up in age, sixty plus years. Your site has been very helpfull and I enjoyed reading all what you have done with your camper. We had a pop-up for years while our three children were growing up and we enjoyed the camping experience. For the last 13 years we have stayed in motels and we also own two timeshares that we have thoroughly enjoyed. Since I will be joining my husband into Retirement we would like to go a little more. I would like to get what I call a tag-a-long and my husband wants another pop-up. I would like a tag-a-long because the convenience of the bathroom at night, setting up and being able to leave everything inside the camper. My husband wants a pop-up for the ease of pulling. I use to pull our pop-up all the time, don't think I would like to pull the tag-a-long. Thanks again for putting this site on the web. It is going to be a big help. dbailey

We just "inherited" a 1978 Coleman Pop-Up and have left the tents behind. One of my cables broke and I was looking for info on how to replace them(still looking.) and came across your site and saw how informative it was. Our dog (Chesapeake Bay Retriever)camps with us and she loves it. Great site and thanks for the info!

Wow, what an awesome site you have! I just aquired my very first popup camper yesterday (July 16, 2003). It looks like it will take me quite a while to look through your site, I am looking forward to it. Natasha is beautiful!! I have had shepherds most of my life. I am now the proud mommy of a furbaby named Rosco. I adopted him from the Michigan Humane Society and he's the best dog I ever had. Poor baby does have epilepsy, but he more than makes up for that in what a great dog he is. We wouldn't go anywhere without him! Karen http://www.geocities.com/roscosjournal

I found your site early (fortunately!) in our search for pop-up camper, about 3 months ago. We bought a 2000 Coleman Timberlake about a month ago, and love it. Your site is by far the most usefull and informative site on pop-up camping on the net. Thank you so much for the time and effort you've put into this site.

Very nice site, lots of ideas.We also have a 2001 Sants Fe and love it, problem is we bought it at the end of the model year, so it sat until Memorial Day weekend, we did a dry run at the inlaws place. Bad luck hit in june, I ruptured a disc and had to have back surgery. We did get to take it for a close trip in late Sept. Looking forward to doing some camping this year (in the process of builing our house) things are hectic around here. Jim

Thanks for your web site. I also have a Coleman pop up camper. Frequently, I will get to the campsite before my family and set things up. I often have trouble with the awning as setting the awning up is awkward by yourself. Thanks very much for your tip on the awning base. I think that will help dramatically

I stumbled across your site this morning and I was amazed! We have a lot in common! My wife and I and our 5 year old German Shepherd Dog "Heidi" are long time tent campers. Now that we are in our 40's, we decided that tent camping is just too much work so last week we purchased our first pop-up, a 2003 Coachman clipper 086. We were amazed at the wealth of pop-up info your site provides not to mention your love of German Shepherds! Thank you for providing such a great site!

I am hopefully about to become a pop-up trailer owner. I am going tomorrow to inspect a camper that someone is giving away! I was surfing the internet for information on pop-up camping and came across Natasha's site. I've only looked at a few pages, but wanted to let you know that they have already been very helpful. As a matter of fact, one of our favorite destination is Townsend, Tennessee, so I was pleased to see your report on the Little River Village Campground. We usually stay at the Best Western up the road a bit, but now, I can look forward to being a little closer to nature. We have done quite a bit of tent camping, mostly in the Florida and Georgia State Parks. I am very excited about moving up and am thankful to have sites like yours to provide insights into pop-up camping. Yopp!!

I wanted to thank you for the mention on your site (and the pictures) of the trailer dolly. I followed your link and my final price for this item was $71 (tax and shipping included). I originally found this item in my Overtons boating catalog for a total price of $176 for the exact same item. Thanks again!

I have been trying to find a back rack that would not put penetrations in my pop-up roof. I could not find one so I contrived to design and build my own. Fortunately I bumped into your website. The swagman towable 3 bike carrier that you installed is my dream come true. I followed your link and got the best deal on the internet. I am patiently waiting for it to arrive. Thanks for the tip,

We are planning our first Disney camping trip and I found your website to be a great source of insider information. I like to hear about actual experiences because you always learn something new and get other opinions. Thanks for the info, I will continue to plan with the help of your site. Great Job!
