No real advise. As a kid my parents had a pop-up for awhile. There were 5 of us, my parents, my two sisters (who are twins and younger than me) and myself. The table lays on the benches and makes the extra bed, which is where I slept. When we got a bit older, my parents bought a larger travel trailer (I do not remember how long it was). But I much preferred sleeping on the couch it had, then on the table. LOL. I remember we sold it, when I was in high school. Then my dad got a tent we he and I started going to Bristol for the NASCAR races. Now my husband I go to to those races and we finally were able to get into a hotel. Believe me, I prefer a hotel to any kind of camping when it snows. I'd definitely take a pop-up over a tent.
