I think the perfect pop-up starts out with an actual empty weight of about 100 lbs., but with a GVWR of 5,000 lbs. That way, you could put anything in it.
Next, it should be self-steering, so that it anticipates where the driver wants to back it in, and it goes there by itself.
I have a bunch of other ideas, but I d like to hear from others.
Austin
AustinBostonA fridge that lights itself and that can be accessed from inside or outside the PU even when the top is down.
A stove that boils water whether the wind is blowing or not.
A built in pottie with a tank that can be accessed from outside so that it can be dumped on the way out instead of trying to remember before popping down.
Enough for now. [:)]
AustinBostonI m looking for a pop up that will pack and unpack by itself. It would be nice if it could also put the bikes on and off the roof. That would leave me more time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the kids.[:)]
AustinBostonA bath tub...[:D]
Zooey[&:]
AustinBostonI like the idea of self steering,
how about self hitching too?
A refrigerator that cools down in about 10 minutes tops.
A floor that is self vacuuming/cleaning.
A door that closes automatically yet has sensors stopping it if a body or body part is in the way so little fingers are protected.
AustinBostonSheeesh, you guys are forgetting the most important thing :
IT MUST BE FREE !!!!!
AustinBostonAnd, can be towed with any size vehicle!
AustinBostonIt should have a rear bumper that flips over, with at least four sides.
Then we can put one PU message board bumpersticker on each side.
Then just decide what PU message board is in fashion that week and display their sticker.
Or leave one side empty, when your in the mood for no stickers.

[:D]I have that in my cassette potty.
It would dry instantly when popping down and never need to be washed.
AustinBostonHave 2 King Beds with comfortable mattress tops that makes itself.[:D]
AustinBostonJust a few that immediately come to mind:
The tenting would be reflective to keep down the heat. The door would be self-closing without slamming. The cushions would all fit under the dinette (the dinette would need to be wider or taller).
AustinBostonA door system that keeps out all all those little bugs.
Really useful, effecient storage - already equipped with shelves, bins, whatever you want.
A battery that never needs charging.
Now I d better stop before I really get on a roll....[:)]
Gotta be camping time soon!!!

AustinBostonSeein as you all are dreamin here....
I want one of the drawers full of a never ending supply of ....
CASH
That way I would never have to quit, and go back to work![;)]
AustinBostonStill want to be able to look up at stars in my bunkend! [:)]
AustinBostonI have the built in pottie that empties from the outside too..... but I would like a skylight over the bunk with a close-able curtain.
AustinBostonAs far as we re concerned, our Westlake *IS* perfect.
[:)]
AustinBostonHow about Intelli-Sound? tenting?
It would completely block sounds from late-night conversations and early-riser s diesel engines, but would completely allow every owl hoot, bird chirp, or coyote yip.
Oh, and it would be switchable, so you could hear what your 5 year old is up to while you are washing dishes.

YES This has caused us a lot of grief and stress, since that s where they hold onto to get out!
How about a small railing dowm low for little one s (no more pinched pingers)
A dishwasher! (takes up more time of mine)
self-cleaning floors (good for sandy campsites)
self-making beds
This seems to cover it for me, at least this is what takes up most of my work time during the day! Maybe a " personal assistant" or nanny I could keep in the storage compartments for midnight trips to the bathroom, or the endless trips to the pool!
AustinBostonRetractable window covers that go up and down at the touch of a button. No more climbing up onto the seat cushions to reach that darn long one piece monstrosity behind the stove.
AustinBostonTwo queens for the 10 foot box. A self leveler. Outside access for storage on non-trunk units. A slide out bike rack/outside storage tray from rear.
AustinBostonI like all these suggestions, but I would definately want a camper like mine, but new and maybe with a slide out and king size beds.
I do however like the idea of self closing doors and self making beds...
ambrosiaI think you all forgot about the awning and screenroom.......just push a button and it all opens up with everything attached.[:)][:)]
ambrosiaI like the idea of a self leveling camper but I would also like one with non- toxic bug repellant tenting and screen material to keep the little bugs that sneak in at bay and keep the darn bees and wasps from finding homes under the roof.
ambrosiaAlong with the Intelli-sound fabric, I want to be able to block out the foul language flying around some " other" campsites (certainly not my own). I d also want a muffler to drown out my kids bickering with each other!
More than an automatic dishwasher, I d want an automatic clothes washer. Maybe a door like the storage door on the front of the Coleman, but it would be for clothes. Push a button, and voila, a half an hour later, your clothes are clean, dry, folded and ready for the kids to get filthy again. How do they get so dirty when camping, and how come no matter how many times you warn them, they always walk right into the greasy tow hitch before you can get the cover on?[:@]
