Question:
I'm considering buying a used pop-up tent camper. I'd like to hear your
experiences with these campers.
1. How are they in the rain? I'd hate to cut a trip short because the
weather goes south.
2 If they do get wet, is there a mold problem?
3 Wind. Are these things hardy enough for a stiff wind storm, say 40mph or
so?
4 Any advice at all on what I should look for when sizing up a used pop-up
would really be appreciated.
