Introduction

Pop-ups have become very popular due to the ease of towing. They have a wide variety of floor plans and have really changed over the years. Now they have slide outs, full bathrooms and more. More amenities means that they will take a little more to get them set up. In this class, we will walk you through everything there is to know about your pop-up from backing into the campground, chocking the wheels, stabilizing and connecting it.

We’ll teach you how to check the pedestal voltage and polarity, connecting to the water system and drainage as well as how to set up the insides as well as how everything works. The first step though is to show you how to get into the campground and how to back in properly.

Typically, when you check into an RV park and you have a pop-up unit, you will find often they will tuck you away in one of the more remote and harder to get to sites because the larger coaches need the bigger sites. In this segment, we will discuss tips and tricks on how to back in and how to properly set up your pop-up both the outside and inside.

What to Look For when Buying a Pop-Up

Buying and RV can be a little overwhelming with so many types, brands and floor plans out there to choose from. A pop-up is fairly inexpensive, and you can purchase one at a reasonable price to start out with as you figure out if you like camping and what your future needs will be.

One of the most important considerations when buying any RV is weight and what kind of towing and carrying capacity your tow vehicle has. This class will review weight capacities, weighing your truck and trailer as well as when you need an auxiliary braking system.

In this session, we will also cover measuring the RV to make sure you have a place to store it, floorplans and things to consider when choosing the right floorplan for your family size and camping style as well as when a pop-up is not the best choice of camper.
