Looking at all the big trailers and 5th wheels in these forums is making me jealous! However, my wife will only allow a pop up so I'm happy to have one . She feels it feels more like camping with the canvas. She grew up tent camping and pop up camping. I still like looking at all the pictures of everyone's big campers though! Hopefully when I add the add a room to my pop up it will make it feel bigger

I had a 2012 2280BH. We really enjoyed it while we had it. We don't miss the setup time or having to open it up to get things in and out of it (that just goes with the territory, lol) but we have absolutely no regrets with owning it. It did us well and had really no problems in two years...and we used it quite a bit. The only thing I can recall ever going wrong was the sink drain hose split and started leaking. Nothing that some hose and clamps from Lowe's didn't fix for about $15. That's pretty good for the amount of miles we put on it. Enjoy it!

I didn't. I thought about it a few times and decided it wasn't worth what they wanted for it. If I had kept it for a year or so longer, I probably would have though. It would have been nice to be able to drop the privacy panels on it and use it for extra dressing room space and the like.

Any good suggestions with camping in Michigan? We are in Ontario and would like to try something different than our provincial parks next year.

Welcome from Kentucky. I know how you feel about having a new camper and not being able to use it. Bought our in June and still have not camped a single night in it.

What types of camping do you like? A lot of people like Holly Recreation Area including myself.

Metamora - Hadley is close by. Algonac state park is also a nice campground to try.
