I've been reading the forums here all thru winter while DH & I were deciding on whether or not to ditch the tent and buy a pop up. We've been using a lot of the advice posted and attended an RV show to check out the models and did lots and lots of internet shopping/research.

The result is the purchase of a 2006 Jayco 1206 without the shower/toilet or a/c. We live in Saskatchewan, the east-central portion of the province called the Parkland area. Most of our camping will be done within a 6 hour drive from home and even that will take us many, many trips to get in all the provincial campgrounds which are just wonderfully maintained. Our camping season is not a long one - May thru September, but with a popup and a furnace we can include the shoulder months in our plans. We also have a couple of 60-pound labrador retrievers to help keep us warm at night (it sure helped in the tent a few nights last year in northern Saskatchewan).

We'll be picking up the pop up at the end of the month so my questions may start then - in the meantime - hello from another popper-upper.

Welcome to PUT.  I think you will enjoy your new PU and it will let you extend your camping season.  We camped in February this year and it was down to 8 or 9 degrees F overnight.  We didn't use our water system except for the sink drain and had a wonderful time.  I would love to come and camp in your neighborhood some time.  The pictures I have seen are beautiful.  Good luck with your new camper.:)
