Yea... so you interested in a 5th wheel toy hauler?
I'm all about not listening to hubby make up those loud 4 letter words everytime we go off the main road. I told him if this does not fix that then he is just a grouchy #%?@" and we are going to take up knitting at home.

Not really. I think I will stick to my pop-up.

Well, it sounds like your approach worked (and it will be a lot more exciting than knitting).

Another pop up on a 3/4 ton truck. You are someone who enjoys camping in the middle of nowhere.

I wonder if these are strong enough to put roof racks on to hold kayaks? Does anyone here "full time" with a pop up?

I'd like to be able to carry a kayak or two with a bike as well. Do they house A/C units?

Thanks,

It depends on the brand/model of pop-up. Outfitter campers can have an A/C unit, as well as roof racks, vents, solar panels, and storage containers. I have seen kayaks as well as a canoe on their roofs, but there is of course a limit on total available space and in some cases, overall weight.
