As you've stated, there's pro's and con's to each model and it really depends on your individual situation. We're also in our mid-40's and have been pop-up camping for almost a decade, and our next RV will definitely be a full size travel trailer. While we do love all the windows and headroom...

Welcome from BC! Enjoy your new memory maker!

Welcome from Victoria! Looking forward to seeing some pics of those remote lakes! :)

Welcome back to the light! I've got a 2020 Rockwood HW277, definitely recommend the grey water drain update @E-Rawk recommends above. In addition, I got 2 short (3') sewer hoses and a Y-connector, so I can drain the black and then the grey tank without having to manually swap the sewer hose off...

Welcome from Vancouver Island, enjoy your new rig!

Here's a pic of the back flush tank rinser:

Another cheaply made/poorly designed RV part, what a surprise! My rig doesn't have a black tank flush, so I use this to back flush tank rinser a few times a season and I've been very happy with it:

We used the Curt Echo for a few years with our HW popup, but decided to go back to a tradition wired brake controller (Tekonsha Primus) for the following reasons: The physical connection between the Echo and the popup 7way wire was not very secure, we had to strengthen it with a velcro strap To...

Here's the latest update from the FDA: https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/safety-communications/update-certain-philips-respironics-ventilators-bipap-machines-and-cpap-machines-recalled-due Given how serious the recall was, there's no way I'd be comfortable using another Phillips CPAP machine...

We had a 2013 Coachmen Clipper 106 Sport for five years, and were happy with it overall as a starter trailer. I have mixed feelings about the glide lock bed and the support cables, as they are more convenient but as a taller person (6'2"), I found the cables impeded on my head and foot room, and...

Welcome from BC! Hope you get to use your new to you camper soon!

According to this website, the standard length is 44" for a Rockwood, which is in the same Forest River family as the Coachmen, so hopefully that gives you some idea if no one else can get a measurement. https://www.campercurtains.com/8-Rockwood-Camper-Curtain-Set_p_29.html

Those Grand Designs are really nice, my parents have a Reflection 5th wheel which they are very happy with. The fit and finish on them is very nice, and they make very efficient use of the space.

If you're looking for a good value full-size SUV, check out the Nissan Armada or Infiniti QX56/80, they are both body on frame and can tow around 9,000 pounds. That's the tow capacity I'd want for towing something like the Roo.

There's no way i'd pull a trailer that big with your Explorer. The GVWR for that Roo is over 6,600 pounds, which well exceeds your tow limit. Here in BC, I'm pretty sure it's illegal to have a trailer with a GVWR that exceeds your tow rating. Would also likely void your insurance if you ever got...

Welcome from Vancouver Island, best of luck with your search!

Took stock of all the crap that accumulated on the roof over the Winter while in the garage. The roof becomes one big storage shelf and you'd never know it was bare last Fall.

This is a novel idea, but I don't think I've ever had a setup/takedown where the bed slid in/out smoothly without catching on something, so you'd have to be very careful if using a motorized slide. Also, where would you mount the motor to run it, it seems the front/back "walls" of most pups are...

Personally, I would not be comfortable towing a pup with a 3500 pound GVWR with a minivan with a 3500 pound tow capacity. Older pups were infamous for understating their weight ratings, so I'd bet the farm that the true weight of that pup is more than the manufacturer specs. Even if you are...

On our old Clipper, the cable attached to the bed slide about 2/3's of the way down the width of the bed. There was no counter support cable, it just had a metal anchor at the top of each frame support.
