I havn't read all the posts yet but I love to camp!!

Started with the tent stuff, with then the GF, got married had a kid, went tent camping 1 time.

Bought a coleman pop up, very nice, side poped out, two king beds, etc, loved it. Easy to pull / tow, not real fun pitchen down in the rain tho, maintanance was kind of a bummer but was "easy"

Had another kid, kept pop-up for about 2 more years.

Bought a 32' travel trailer with hitch (28' without hitch), tow with my f150 quad cab (used to tow with my expedition). F150 tows it MUCH better. Only issues I have with a travel trailer is the same shit you have go wrong with your house. Plumbing, electrical, etc. I've not had problems (well cept that one time I forgot to winterize the bathroom sink = mess = $$). Have a good bit of maintainance costs, all depend on your skills tho.

Anyway, I look at it this way, RV = Truck + Travel trailer = 2nd car if you want to be mobile and camp. Travel Trailer is just a house you pull and then you disconnect, you can still be mobile.

Keystone Lerado '01 was the make/model/year. The whole side pops out and gives you a good bit of room. I wouldn't think to buy one without the slide out now and I'd look at some good reviews / references before you buy as well (as I'm sure you will)

EDIT
I just check your links, I know cash can be an issue but I would not buy a pop-up with a bathroom, toilet or shower. Many models give you an external shower head via a small door or whatnot, build a small "vestibule" if you "need" to shower AT your camper (otherwise use the campground facilities). I would also not get one without the pull-out / slide out. If you haven't seen one in person, the pull out makes a HUGE difference. Having to deal with grey water+sewage in a pop up = NOT FUN. Especially if you have a wife / kids that are less then water conscious(sp) (e.g wastes the water). I'm no guru but I've done a lot of shopping around in both of my camper purchases.

EDIT x2
I thought those airliners were that expensive because they are all aluminum or some shit. BTW my coleman didn't have AC, I wish it did many a time for whatever its worth.

EDIT x3 ROFL
Travel Trailer = mobile cabin > tent

Yeah, I'm really not concerned with getting one that has a bathroom/shower in it

the external shower would work fine, but in general, the camp grounds around here all have excellent facilities, while still letting you camp in the bush

Fuck RVing. Don't be a pussy. Backpack. Or at least car camp. RVing? Why don't you just rent a hotel room on a lake somewhere. Winnebego Warrior!
