There is a down side to any sort of pop-up style RV: You normally need to pop it up to use it effectively.
My pop-up truck camper only has about 4' of headroom with the top down. You can get into it, crawl around, get to the fridge, or sit on the dinette bench if you hunch down. Set up is about 15 minutes for mine, but tear-down is at least 30 minutes because I have to carefully tuck the canvas in all the way around so it doesn't get pinched.
The most frustrating part is the lack of storage. All that space above chest height on a hard-walled camper is cabinets and storage. In a pop-up it is empty space, which means you need to keep things in plastic tubs on the floor. Once popped up you need to find a place to keep these plastic tubs so you can maneuver in the camper. That usually ends up being the main bed, until it's bedtime, then you need to move all the tubs down to the dinette bench so you can get to the bed. Then in the morning you get to move all the tubs back up into the overhead bed, until you need something then you pull all the tubs back down until you find the one that has what you need. Luckily I never stay more than 3-4 days anywhere so I don't have but two containers to deal with.
If you've got mobility problems or a bad back, the pop-up is not for you.
If you only stay one night in any given location, a pop-up will drive you batty.
If you are going anywhere for more than 3-4 days, you will soon get tired of a pop-up.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
