How long have you been pop-upping (popping-up?)

[Elly]

We have had our '87 Coleman since 1997. We just ordered a new canvas for it. When I was a kid we had an Apache hard side.

I voted 2-3 yr but when I was young the family PUP for over 10yr.

We got our popup in 2000 and have been enjoying it ever since. We were tent campers for many years before.

I had my first "Pop-up" in '68. It was a "Nimrod". I soon graduated to a pick-up & camper (kept the the PU for several years). I built my first dune buggy and needed something to tow it with.

I had the truck & camper, then GMC M/H until '84. Then we decided to camp in a little different fashion, expanding our horizon. We purchased a 45' sailboat and decided to sail around the world for 3 years. That was just camping in different kinds of campsites (free I might ad), in different parts of the world. In '98 (14 years later, we returned to the US :usflag: .

I just purchased our current PU last year. It sure is nice to be back camping . We just stick a little closer to home now :usflag: . It sure is nice not having to worry about dragging anchor in the PU :p ......or having someone else drag anchor and come crashing into you in the middle of the night :yikes: .

Camped forever. Had a tent trailer '71-72. After the big D my RV was a bedroll tied to my motorcycle for 10 yrs. After over a year fulltiming in a bottle and bedroll I took off from camping until '85. Fall of '04 we were shoping for a cargo trailer to store the tent and gear in when Sisi learned to unzip the tent to go for a walk by herself. Chirstmas eve (04) was the first nite we spent in the PUP.
