Tell us a little about your PopUp Camper:

1.  What is your favorite option/feature in your popup camper?
2.  What option do you wish you had or could change on your camper?
3.  What have you modified or added to customize your camper?

1) - the interior layout

2) and 3) - an exterior access door

(note): here's a pic of my previous pup where I installed an access door and did so on the driver's side rather than what the factory specs call for being on the curb side. Here my back-up guide is going to direct the backing in process to one of our very favorite sites in the Nantahala Nat'l Forest next to a stream that has lots of nice trout close by.

I think the only thing would be a slide out for more room.

I would like to see twin wall construction with a thermal break between the inner fabric and outer. Think refletix in the wall for better heat retention/resistance.

The military uses a double wall design on some of their better tents.

I would have looked for a pup with the front storage compartment and maybe a bench seat in addition to the dinette.

Love my floor plan, king beds and front storage.  Would like to add outside shower to clean the dogs up, and air conditioner (no comments needed about air conditioner)

I added a slide on table to the side of the camper that gos on like the exterior stove does, it works out real good for us!

I would have just bypassed the Pup that got stolen four days after I bought it.

So far I'm/we're loving this one.

I'll be doing a non-invasive window AC mod in the near future.  Apache's have removable plexiglass windows.  I'll add a note with a friend's photos of his AC mod later.

The features I love the most are the dinette slide out and the shower/potty combo. I wish I had more storage. My next pup will have a front storage box. As for mods, dh is going to put some pull out shelving in those deep cabinets so I don't have to dig for what it need.

1.  Honestly, I love everything about our PUP

2.  [i]Except[i] the interior color scheme; the primary color (cushions, drapes, etc) is a shade of blue that I really dislike.  It's been hard for me to wait for it to wear out so I can justify replacing it, but the insulating backing is peeling off the drapes so this will be the last season for them!

3.  We attached a length of 4" PVC (along with removable end caps) to the front bumper (?) of the camper; we roll up the outdoor rug and transport it in there.  The little table that folds down between the two benches to make a bed collapsed (particleboard failure), we decided that the table really wasn't large/stable enough to be practical anyway and just set a cut-to-fit piece of wood between the benches so that the cushions can be laid overtop.  We haven't really done any other mods (yet)!

King beds. Hubby is 6'9".

Dinette slide. Really love the extra space.

Potty/shower. Midnight walks no more!

Want to add a bumper PVC tube to store outdoor mat and sewer hoses. The bumper space has bolts that won't allow the hose to fit.

When we bought our PUP new we debated over 2.  One with the slideout dinning area and bathroom and the one we did get which is the Sun Valley.  I really like our Sun Valley and at the time of purchase I did not have to deal with all the toilet stuff and I think at the time with my old Dakota it put me near the top of my GVW rating.  If I had to do it over, I probably would have gone for that model.
