Title: Shopping for the ultimate
Post by: Lonewolf212 on Jan 29, 2006, 11:10 AM
After years of tent camping, moving up to a small Starcraft PU, then to a TT,
we've decided to get back to popping up. I need help on deciding what to get.
If money was no object, and weight was no consideration...What brand or
model offers the most of everything. I do like the idea of a flushable toilet,
and electric brakes are a must. Does any brand offer black water tanks? I also
like the slide in range/ovens. Tinted windows would be nice. Thanks in advance
of any info you might share.

I am by no means an expert, but have been doing some shopping and found that the 2006 Fleetwood Highlander series has a black water tank.  It's actually a change that I don't like.  I believe it has an oven as well.

Welcome to  PUT!:)
 
Yes they have a 9 gallon black water tank and an oven.  The windows are clear though.  I also would rather have a cassette potty.  Then I can dump the cassette as needed and not have to off load the black water into a tote and then dump the black water a second time at the dumpstation.  The higlanders are high walled PUs that you don't need to fold anything down to pop down.  There are other brands with high walls, but I don't think they have the flushable toilet.  Good luck on the hunt for the PU and let us know how you make out.:)

Might want to check out the Rockwood high-walled PUP.  Not sure if the toilet comes standard, but I bet they'd put one in if you asked nicely & paid enough $$.
