Pop-up camper reviews

The HW296, was my 6th RV. I have had RV's from 19 to 32 feet. I bought into the 2 axle foldable camper idea, because they blend the best of both worlds. This High Wall tracks with the stability of a large towable, but tows like a folding camper. Storage is easier at only 22 feet closed. Fully deployed, 27 feet provides room to breath and enjoy real amenities. The High Wall designs allow for big beds, bathroom, big sink, adequate refrigerator, A/C, furnace, lots of storage and 360 degree views. In 2021, my Rockwood High Wall became the victim of a tornadic cross wind while heading West on I90 in South Dakota. It peeled the top off like a sardine can lid. My insurance company bought me a 32 foot Gray Wolf to replace it, because no High Walls were available. Well, less than 2 years later I am on the hunt for another HW296. They are just that appealing to me. As with any RV, there are pros and cons. However, if you want a low profile towable with great amenities, consider the biggest and best folding camper design in the industry, the Rockwood HW296. Show less

Great camper for 2! So easy to put up, lightweight, and no worries while it's raining. Tons of storage, and we were able to build in dividers in the under dinette bench storage for our clothes. No duffle bags to worry about! Easy access to storage from several outside compartments. Love the griddle for out door cooking. Nice to have: AC/heat, HOT water, ceiling fan and led lights. Great upgrade from a tent or pop up- no leaky canvas to worry about! We've been able to camp with and without electricity utilizing the solar panel, and there is a plug for additional solar panels! The only thing we knew we had to do for safety was replace the factory tires. Show less

I bought my Scout new and have had it out 2x so far. The A/C works great and was a lifesaver in the heat. Beds are hard, get an egg crate for sure.Only issue is a personal one. The interior led lights have an always on blue glow behind the on-off button. It's always lit when the camper has power. I need dark and it was like a constant bunk light shining down on you at night. I had to cover the whole light with cardboard and tape to block the obnoxious light. Other than that great, fun little camper. Tows great, easiest set up ever. I'm loving it. Show less

I grew up camping in my parent's pop up. I then bought a used one in 2008 and owned it for 6 years. I purchased this Rockwood 1640LTD in 2022. While it is smaller than my parents & my previous one, one of the best things about a pop up is the fact that, like any pop up, because bunks that slide out, that makes it feel larger. Also, I know it will withstand quite a bit of wind, as we camped during a terrible thunderstorm with winds up to 40-45 mph which were shaking the entire camper. Everything stayed dry inside. It was a bit scary, and we did drop it down due to the high winds. The decor is nice. We've never really use the sink so I cannot speak to that. Storage is a bit minimal, but it's also a very small pop up so not much room for storage. But it holds everything we need - some tools, the extra jack stands we have, leveling items and stuff to lock up the camper. The one problem we had was our 12V refrigerator stopped working within the warranty. Contacted Geek Squad thru Best Buy as they handle that service. The c.s. rep could not find an exact replacement, so they sent the closest thing available model-number-wise. Well, that's a 110V unit, not a 12V one. So we do not have a working refrigerator, and I am still waiting for their response on how to fix this. Also, the small area of canvas on the front section by the door is a bit short by probably an inch or two, at least. It is very difficult to velcro that section into place. And pushing the metal braces into place for the bunk ends is quite the chore - they can be quite difficult to get all the way pushed out and set in place. Other than that, it's generally pretty easy to pop up and tow - we towed it with a Honda C-RV (!!) - mostly it's been great for us so far. Show less

We began our RV camping experience with the 2019 Aliner Ranger 12. What a great learning summer we had! We towed with an EcoBoost Ford Transit and had space to travel with our two dogs, one80lb, the other 20lb. When our old girl passed, our 20lb girl fits in to the Aliner with us no problem. We traveled in Northeast Pennsylvania, Upstate New York & Vermont. Our Aliner was always easy to set up, we felt like we were in a Hotel Room as soon as we would pull in to a campground. We outfitted our Aliner trailer with LED lights, so when we were in a campground at night it was fun and inviting. If you have an adventure spirit, and want to experiement with an easy to use RV camper, Try Aliner! Show less

First weekend camping was 25 degrees outside stayed warm used the furnace to take the chill off. Plenty of room for my husband and myself we did add a 2 inch memory foam mattress for more comfort. Only issue so far is front passenger side stabilizer is attached in a bad spot and it bent. Show less

Have had this rig since new in March, 2022. Took it on an extended trip from Florida to Montana(grandkids), then over to Minnesota, then to Oklahhoma, then to east Texas, then to home. It went very well which made it ever so pleasureable for us. It worked perfectly for us, was very easy to pull behind our SUV, and sets up literally in less than a minute!!! Then you must plug in shore power and the water. Got home and decided we would go with AirBnB since we are aging into our later years. Maybe we jumped too soon into the purchase, but st least someone else can benefit from our experiences. Plus we're selling it with much extra stuff we found very handy to bring with us on our travels. It represents a very good buy for someone! Show less

Put the stabilizer down on the front right and stabilizer was bent, when my husband checked the frame had been bent very thin metal that the stabilizer is hooked on. The slide on the main door needed put back in the track. Easy set up and we like the floor plan. Show less

This folding A-frame is a joy to operate. On a slow day, I can set it up in 35 seconds, then it takes a minute or two to plug in the power and the water hose. Tows beautifully, no problems with braking nor accelerating. I am really enjoying this rig. But at our advanced ages now(late 70's), the wife decided she was tired of the long haul camping trips. So it's time to let someone else enjoy those attributes of the rig. And that is the primary reason we're selling it. From now on, we'll do the Air BnB routine for our adventures!! Which is a shame since we bought the rig nine months ago, and now we're selling it. Check it out in the enclosed ad, you'll see the enjoyment possible with this rig. Show less
