Hi there,
I'm new to this forum and fairly handy with tools and such, not a seasoned craftsman to be sure, but not afraid to swing a hammer either We've wanted a pop-up for a long time now but they always seem a bit pricey for what they are, new isn't in our price range and used are often full of other peoples problems. It's with this mindframe that I started looking at building my own since I'd have to fix anything I bought used anyway.
I like the look and simplicity of the cubby but am leaning towards a new campmaster because we have a family of 4, the kids are smaller for now but won't be for long. I'm 6'4" @ 270 so going small will be tricky. We went camping again this summer in a tent and realized that we're going to have to do something soon. Even in my Mercury Marquis with it's HUGE trunk, after the: tent, cooler, cots, chairs, and suitcases, we still had stuff on peoples laps, and then there was the rain...
My wife likes the Shasta design, but I'm thinking that It will drag too much. Hey, here's a question for you folks, does the tear shape help with aerodynamics in pulling it down the road, or is it more a style point? Thanks in advance, and any suggestions you may have would be apreciated.
Jim
