Prior to now, most all my camping was done in the northwest. Heat was never an issue, we had the rain.😬 But Reflectix seems to be a go to for most people trying to circumvent the heat. I will definitely be using that as well. The Gizmo bed covers will also be something that I invest in. I really...

I am definitely going to purchase the Gizmos for the popup. Everyone seems universally in agreement of their value. The fleece material is something that has not occurred to me. That is going on the list as well! I am getting so many good ideas that I had never thought of. Makes me excited to...

Hi! I live in AZ also and definitely understand about the heat!🥵 My plan is to camp at higher elevations in summer and the desert in fall/winter. But we all know how plans go!🤣 Thanks for reaching out and happy trails to you! Sven

Hi Karen, You did multiple things, all good suggestions! Thank you! Once I find my camper, I will get started on the insulation project. Happy trails, Sven

I do plan to do a combination of boondocking/hookup camping. I do like having a hot shower!🤗 The electric heaters I will definitely do. I had one in my first popup and I did like it better than the furnace; less noisy too.

A friend of mine has a popup truck camper and I do like it. But alas, no have truck😑 Also staying in bed until spouse turns on the furnace and makes coffee is not an option either. 0 for 2!🫤

I like those also, but I am trying to keep the towed weight to no more than 1500#s. I have an old minivan without the factory tow package so towing is limited to 2000#s. My rule of thumb is never to tow the max rated amount. Thanks.

I am laughing!🤣🤣 The snarky old guys comment is hysterical!🤣 I have to say that so far everyone has been exceedingly kind and helpful with their comments. I sincerely appreciate that. This is like discovering a family that you didn’t know you had.🥰 I now have a whole notebook of things that...

I have considered those, but I have an old minivan, small 6 cylinder, and have to consider weight. I am also being economical and pop ups are a bit cheaper and more plentiful. If one of the smaller, light weight ones were available, it would definitely be an option. I am 73 and definitely not...

Thanks for that information, Aruba. I don’t plan on much cold weather camping, but the unforeseen is often the norm. In the past, a long trip for me was 2-3 weeks. Now I would like to go on trips for 3-6 months. Would like to be prepared for heat and cold. Once I find the right popup, I will...

Great! Thank you!

Those are all good ideas. I am making a list as the replies come in. Sorry to be a dummy, but the popup gizmos are those popup canopies? They would provide shade for the bunk ends. Adding to my list. Thanks much!

Hi NLB, Thanks for the info. Once I make my purchase, I will do some experiments with Reflectix. The foam squares are a good idea also. Let the adventures begin!

In the next few months I intend to purchase another popup tent camper. When I moved up from tent camping, my first camper was a popup. I have had a few types of campers since then but my favorite has always been my first popup. Memory colored by nostalgia perhaps.😋 I am a solo camper and I do...
