I am not trying to hi-jack this thread into a full-height vs pop-up, but as someone who is moving to something larger, I must ask this question.
With the non "full height" pop-ups, does the annoyance and wear and tear of the constant up and down anytime one wants to have a quick lunch, or step out of the weather make it not worth it.
Driving down the highway with the family, want to stop and make some food since we are cheap...pop the top, then drop the top. Get to the camp site when it's POURING down rain, have to wait for the top to come up.
Just wondering if the couple of feet in height you save is worth it. Seems to me that the full height that pops up for more sleep space is more useful and will last longer do to less up and down cycles.
