The main reason I am building my TD is I do long road trips to out of the way places and I need to take sleeping breaks. I have noticed that no one gives anyone any trouble for sleeping in a trailer or camper if they are not flaunting it. If you set up a tent at a rest stop you are going to be told to move along, the same goes for a pop-up. However if you are quietly napping in your trailer no one says a thing. Once I decided to build one I decided I may as well have fun with it.

I agree with Jocko, completely. You may be even asked to spend the night at complete stranger's places. I know, it has happened to me.

I will back Scott in this, attend a gathering or two and she what creative folks have done in their builds and see what is available commercially.

Like a lot of others, we went from tent to pop-up and now finally to TD. For winter camping, the pop-up definitley gave some inside room for sitting and cooking. On the other hand no pop-up bed I've ever seen can compare to the warm, dry, and "comfortable as home" bed in the TD. And I actually like the TD galley along with our Coleman Event Shelter better than the pop-up for cooking. Plus, there's virtually no set-up time involved and breaking camp for the return trip is simpler as well.

All in all, I'm a TD convert. BUT......some of these standies being built by a number of the forum members has me thinking................ :thinking: :thinking: :thinking: :thinking:

Build what you want. You'll never be sorry.
