I've been camping a quite a few years and have been to a dozen or so RV shows over the winters. I couldn't help but to check out the popup campers, especially when the dealer removes the main side canvas panel on the camper to make it easy to see inside. It makes everything look really big and roomy. ::) Soooo...
I've been giving some thought to using my add-a-room top keep the bugs out and opening up the camper. Leave the door hanging from the ceiling and remove that large window next to it. I've set it up at home yesterday and plan to camp like this over the weekend. DF doesn't read most of the threads so she probably won't know until she arrives Thursday afternoon. :rofl:
Here is what it looks like:
Unzip the right side next to the bunkend.

Remove one screw to slide the panel out of the upper and lower track.

Clip along the one side to close the gap between the add-a-room and bunkend canvas.

Cross your fingers and we'll see how it goes. I'm bringing the window panel if I need to replace it or have an issue.
The main disadvantage I can see is if you have to cook out there if it's raining. The smoke and odors would fill the enitre PUP. We use our AAR all the time and have had to close the side panel windows due to cooking. It's worth a shot but I would just open the curtains and the window and call it good.

We opened it up this past weekend and it worked great. The family and weather was very comfortable.
Thing things to consider:
1) site slopes next to pad in add-a-room area (happened to us but worked)
2) skunks running around at night (also happened to us)
3) if you need heat in the middle of the night (not us)
4) cooking in the room and the smell fills the camper (this was a good thing, bacon got everyone out of bed)
5)
