r/popups

Looking to purchase a pop-up. We’re interested in this one but concerned about the roof. Anyone deal with this before? Is it problematic? Expensive to repair? Any insight is appreciated!

So, due to circumstances, our Pop-up Fleetwood was stored outside in a field for about 2 years. Despite tons of mouse poison, they definitely left some mess and stains. I used my Hoover Clean Slate XL and cleaned Everything with stain removers, etc. I definitely made a huge improvement, my 13yo bonus son patched up all the holes, and repaired the screens. I vacuumed, mopped and cleaned Everything. It took me 4 days. We took it out last weekend for a couple nights and no leaks or anything. The cap on the tank will need sealer because we stopped at the grocery store and it managed to hit a speed bump (it's very low to the ground. I'm no expert and it's basically my stepson and partner who do the hard work. My partner the first year did some renovations and added whatever it is to even be able to run on solar panels. I basically just clean it. Considering that this was my first time trying to get stains of this degree out, I definitely say it's a lot better than before. It has 2 king sized beds, a small twin, two benches like a couch, dinette, shower and toilet, a double sink, a microwave and refrigerator. I'm definitely not a professional cleaner and I have 3 kids (2 bonus sons, 8 and 13 and our 7yo daughter). So, my hands are full and I have so much to do and not enough hours in the day 😂. I plan to try and use the power washer on the roof while it's closed, but I am only 5'0 with shoes on lol. Also, yes I accidentally broke the cover to the fuse box while cleaning, as I lost my balance and fell on it.

Bought a 98’ Coleman popup for $1300. Inside is perfect, has barely been camped in. But this is the roof… from the inside of the camper you cant see any of the cracks, it’s just the outer shell. We got this cheap and just plan to camp here and there for a couple years. Do you think we’ll be good just keeping the cracks sealed? We will be storing it in a garage as well. It does not leak inside when raining as well

Hey all - new here and need some help. I lost the end cap (the black thing) on one of my bed rails for my 1997 Dutchman Duck camper (801 model, Classic Voyager series, if that helps at all). Any idea where I can source these? Thoughts on 3D printing them? TYIA!

Got our first pop up. Excited to put some work into it and make it ours. Interior got a little touch up but the exterior definitely needs some work. Would appreciate any tips or recommendations anyone has!

I’m not sure of the names of these parts, but the right side is sagging. Seems the previous owner reinforced it with a couple of brackets but I’d like to do a more permanent fix if it’s not too expensive. Any tips? Thanks!

Tohickon Valley Park, Bucks County, PA. I grew up in popups, but this is our first time owning one! The Rockwood 1640LTD is a recent upgrade from our ‘77 Scamp 13, which we’ve outgrown with the arrival of our second child. We are loving the extra space!

Want to add some front stabilizers and a portable solar setup, and would love to hear other must-have upgrades!

Towing with a PHEV has been great, smooth and steady. The RAV4 has a 2,500lbs tow capacity, but the hitch weight is where we’re really tickling the limits. Planning to upgrade to a LiFePO battery to lighten the load, but did toss it on a scale and we’re almost 10% under. Imagine i’ll get a knock from the tow police but I’m comfortable with the limits.

I’m trying to find the correct size of Gekkos for the larger bed in my 1999 Jayco Qwest. Anyone have any experience with Gekkos sizing?
