30 years ago we had a Palomino pop-up with a manual crank, a cooler and a cold water pump tap. No fridge, hot water heater, ac or furnace. Some of our best ever memories from camping, even in 30 degree weather on Memorial Day in the Adirondacks with no hookups and frost on the trailer👍👍👍
I have the Rockwood Freedom 1640 LTD in my garage. Bought it in 2001. If you want a basic camper because your done with tent camping, this little guy is wonderful.
We started with a '62 Highgin (not sure of the spelling), pop up, the canvace went up like an A frame across the floor back to the camper and up onto a couple of pulling to completely include the campers left side. There were metal doors 2 inside the camper 2 outside the camper. There was a twin matress on top of the box frame. We took along couple of cots for the floor inside, also a Porta potty we used inside. An old portable icebox ehere there is a tray in the bottom for a block of ice, then 3 shelves for your food. We hung clothes on the top A frame bar pushed to the back outta the way and even had a portable rocking chair as I was nursing one of my kids. It had canvas flap that went out with poles and ropes to form an awning. We kept all our dry food, sleeping bags, blankets, electric space heater, personal hygiene products, games and clothes in plastic tubs in the 2 boxes inside the camper, we kept the Coleman cook stove, lanterns, Porta potty, wood for our campfires, shovels, buckets, rake, kids lawn toys, and pool toys in the 2 outside boxes. We tied the kids Big wheels on the tounge of the trailer, a 5 gal blue drinking water tote in a metal holder on the back of the camper with the spare tire. We arranged lawn chairs, screen tent, extra folding tables for the ice box, coolers, and stove. Even brought kid size folding chairs all tied under a grease canvas tarp. Everything else was put in the back of the car in the trunk, pillows were in the back seat with the kids. Those were the best days ever!
Cute as a button. This one looks terrific. We have had a couple, and loved our popup campers over these last decades. Popups are far more comfortable than one might think just looking at them. The ends that extend make the trailer seem far larger than they actually are since the beds are out of the way. And not everyone can afford to replace their vehicle in order to be able to tow a trailer. If you haven't camped in one before, and aren't sure what they're actually like, I urge you to rent one for a short vacation and try one out. They are a lot of fun to camp in, and they are far more budget-friendly than a hard-sided trailer. I think this one is terrific, and I immediately found myself imagining our family vacationing in it. If you want to go camping, but don't have lots of money to spend, then a popup could easily be the solution for you.
An A/C is a must in one of these, otherwise it is little more than a sweat box even with window flaps down. They have improved them quite a bit since my old 70's Starcraft that we named the Titanic! (It was almost as big) Thanks RV Noid!
Nice. You nailed that intro. Took you 3 tries, but you finally nailed it. Love the GIANT interior, too. Who would’ve thought there’d be that much room inside! 😄
I had a pop-up many years ago that didn't come with front stabilizers and I would highly recommend getting something for at least the door side front corner as stepping in and out really moves the front end if not supported
We bought our 2022 Rockwood 1910 ESP about 4 months ago. Couldn't be happier. Yesterday in the middle of Iowa on I-80- I saw a semi with 6 or 8 Rockwood/Flagstaff pop ups on it, and I doo doo you not, literally a few miles up the road comes a dully pick up with 2 more pop ups on its trailer! They're going somewhere to someone. Love the vids Josh.
Started tent camping when our son was 3 then onto a Bayport pop up which we loved. King beds at each end and heat only. Did some great cold weather camping. Going for a Grand Design Imagine 2970RL next and can’t wait.
I grew up in a family of campers and some of my fondest memories are of the big family reunions held at various yogi bear campgrounds (gotta keep us kids entertained somehow.. lol).. I remember being the smallest boy and was assigned the job of crawling into the closed Jayco to load the fridge before we took off or empty and prop it open after each trip. Later in life I bought (and still have) my 1999 StarCraft Starflyer (still in amazing condition for being stored outside all these years).. you mentioned being able to get replacement “canvas” panels.. this is great for manufacturers still around and for models still in production.. but in my experience these pop up’s are often aged out or discontinued so that getting OEM replacements is nearly impossible. At least the fridge/furnace/thermostat/Power converters are all pretty standard components that can be swapped out no matter the age.
@@JoshtheRVNerd Here’s a fun story that’s often retold at family gatherings.. My older brother could whistle loud… like REALLY LOUD.. We’ll.. one 4th of July holiday weekend we’re at a campground that’s enforcing a pretty strict “No Fireworks” policy.. or at least trying! My brother and I are on our bicycles just “doing the loops” and my brother lets out a loud bottle rocket screeching whistle and then we both clap really hard…. Bike to the other side of the campground and do it again.. We had campground security racing all over the place on golf carts watching the sky trying to figure out where the rockets were taking off from. Long story short.. they eventually caught up to us and had a conversation with our dad, who asked what specific campground rule was being broken.. We agreed to stop the “noise pollution” but they were branded anti-whistlers the whole weekend we were there… (with extended family members whistling at them whenever they walked past …). 30 years later I still chuckle about the bottle rocket whistles .. lol
Based on my experience with a pop up, I would be inclined to have a roof AC installed. Even if the AC doesn't cool it off that much, having circulating, and hopefully dryer air, would make it so much easier to sleep at night. It's nigh on impossible to sleep when there's no air movement and the air is at 1000% humidity.
Agree. The AC is helpful when removing moisture. On busy camp sites the AC will help cancel out noise but on other sites it’s nice to hear the great outdoors. We moved from tent to popup. Next jump will be hybrid.
@@jrambo7495 we learned our lesson. Fan tower is coming with us on the next trip and I made sure to wash the AC out again. Got more grime come out of the condenser and washing out the evaporator next week.
We had a 2000 176 LTD for years that we just sold this fall. And this new one…. Is exactly the same haha. Edit: I should add1) it held up INCREDIBLY well 2) it worked fine for our family of 4 and 3) ok I suppose the heated mattresses are a nice change.
nice video and trailer! Maybe just my preference, my coleman door can open and flipdown as door step, why this door need to unhinge and put-a-way, why not just do like coleman does? another comment is a question: is the sink drain directly to outside? no grey holding tank, right?
Okay josh, I have a really strange question. Is it possible when you get to your campsite that you not have to let the side beds out that they could somehow stay closed and you could use the dinette as your bed. For like a single person. Would that be possible?
These pop up’s are only truly water/weather/bug proof when fully set up and expanded. The two beds (or “wings”) that pull out are usually sized so that when they are slid in they totally cover everything inside the camper (the sink cabinet and all the dining table cushions fold down flat).. so without them pulled out you wouldn’t have access to the dinette. You might want to look into an A-frame pop up camper which wouldn’t need to have beds pulled out and would give full access with only the roof popped up (these are great for doing quick truck-stop or rest area overnighters).
You should show the trailer plug hookup so your customers know what they’ll need to adapt to their vehicle when towed . I just bought a new 2023 1640LTD and I’m trying to find what type of trailer plug these have for my factory plug on my Honda Ridgeline . Can’t find that info anywhere unless I’m actually looking at the trailer
I'm not sure we have a towable RV in our lineup that isn't a 7-way round plug. That's the dominant setup across the entire industry now You just don't see the 4-way flat or 6-way plugs anymore
Being a tent camper still,...I WAS thinking about transitioning straight to a small used 17 foot hybrid(2017 Rockwood Roo 17 for example)...,but I am RETHINKING that decision. I think a better and less expensive transition would be to move up to a small pop up like the ones in the video. I would DEFINITELY want an a/c,and the power lift system. I like the idea of a 360 degree view,....can't get that in a hard side TT,or even a hybrid. And all that air flow? Yes,indeed! I tend to favor Rockwood 1640LTD,...,but I'd be happy with the Flagstaff 176LTD as well.
@@JoshtheRVNerd UPDATE;...I am going for the 1940LTD,...I want a little more room. Decided against a/c,...afterall I will be CAMPING,...not staying in a 5-star hotel,...but I DO want that power lift system. I like the idea of having all those windows I can open up for not only ventilation,but that panoramic 360 degree view,...can't get that in a hardsideTT. I'm saving for a down payment on a brand new camper,...I'm 1/4 of the way there.
I wonder if Rockwood does customization.... Flip the dinette with the stove countertop, and put the sink into that counter as well. The new stove / sink counter would have the stove built into it so it cant be removed. I dont need a fridge; so make that an alcove for me to slide my cooler chest into. Also add a bench seat from the wall cupboard by the door all the way to the wall where the sink originally was. If this camper has any water tanks; get rid of them..... I only need pass through. Also get rid of the outdoor stove hookup. Lastly I would add a heater. All told the changes may actually save some weight from the design.
Josh: What can tow this? On a lark years ago on my granddad’s farm I hitched a Shetland pony to one of these small popup canvas sided trailers using a “modified” pony cart rig. Can say from experience that it’s a one horsepower (ponypower??) “towable” trailer. Thanks for the trip back to my childhood. Respectfully, W.S. 😊😊😊😊

Typically small town Americana with local businesses pulling slapped together floats and tossing candy to kids to encourage them to play in the street -- normal stuff lol There were also several teams of horses pulling wagons thru the display.

My folks had a pop up when I was little and failed to secure the canvas around my bed. They woke up in the night and I was not there. They went outside and saw me sitting in the camp site in the moonlight. Fortunately, the dingo did not take me.
We were camping in our pop-up 30 years ago and heard our daughter whimpering. She was hanging half way out with her legs still in the camper. Pulled her back in and from that time forward we lined her bed with our totes full of clothes and dried goods and never had another problem👍👍👍
I wish we had bought one of these instead of a rockwood a frame. It leaked when folded down and ruined chipboard cabinetry. At the dealer for a month now waiting warranty repairs 😣💩

Hey Josh can you help me and probably others out by putting out like a top 10 overland/boondocking campers that offer max solar packages that can run everything including the AC? I’ve been to 5 dealerships in my area and it really seems like they just hired sales people instead of industry professionals. Three out of the five people I talked to yesterday haven’t even heard of a Ember or Black Series let alone what other brands offer big solar packages. I was even inside a mini 2509S with the salesman and he said it only comes with a single solar panel and 1,000W inverter. He had no clue they came with bigger solar packages and it’s frustrating. Please help and thanks in advance.
Hi Paul! I would like to but I don't have a great background and understanding of all the Overlanding offerings out there. The VAST majority of what I cover is very mainstream with only a few brands flirting with that more specialty use
I like it. I don’t even want to tell you what I want to tow it with… but I’m certain it would work based upon others towing with said vehicle. I may be calling in the near future. Just don’t ask, plausible deniability!
@@JoshtheRVNerd Now that you mention it… 😂 No. An EV. I know, “it’ll kill the range!” I’m all for being a pioneer to get companies to realize if they’re going to make us go to EVs they have to make them USEFUL for everything we want to do with them. And it could be a good mix (regenerative braking gets a boost from the extra weight, can plug right into the outlet at the campground, etc.) Someone has to do it to show what works and what doesn’t, I’m fine with being the guinea pig.

I like the fact that it is a simple, down-to-earth RV, and it can be towed by a Subaru Outback!
