We're considering "moving up"

[my4cuties]

We currently own a StarCraft Pop-Up, and love it except for the long time it takes to setup and take-down (with 4 kids and dog, no less!) and the noise factor.

We saw an ad for a "seasonal" camper... Coachman Catalina 30' at a seasonal campground in Pennsylvania (about 2 hours from home, but 30 minutes from my parents', and only one hour from the place my husband has to work at a lot this summer.

Does anyone have experience with this kind of camper, and if so do you think we'd be happier in that, OR, will we really miss being able to "PopUp and down when and WHERE-ever we want all season (April - late October her in Pa.)

Thanks for your input... the reason it is so tempting to go ahead with this is that the Catalina is a REALLY good price, and the seasonal campsite is paid thru November already!  Plus, the location.  My husband is going to see it tomorrow evening while traveling nearby on business.

I would check out the trailer and the campground carefully.  Have you ever camped there?  Do you like the site the trailer is on?  What campground is it?  Will you want to keep going there every year, or would you want to sell/move the trailer to another campground?  2 hours drive to the campground, how much gas will that be?  How often will you use it?  Only you can decide if it is right for you.
