If you're wondering, the other flag on our rig is Poland. My wife is from Poland and we proudly fly the Polish flag!

    Polish American pop up camper myself as well. It's great to see your flags on your pop up.
  • @bradleydaiker4095
    Thanks for taking your time to show a new rookie popup camper owner a few tips about making things a little easier:-)🙏👍

    Reflectix panels between the zip up canvas and mesh also help for heat and privacy at night.
  • @virginialemm864
    Great ideas! We now have a small motorhome now, but still have our pop-up in the garage (one of the BEST attributes...no storage fees!). It’s a 1995, Jayco Jay-Series 1206! It was like I was taking a tour or my own trailer, LOL! Even the upholstery is the same!

    This pup up gizmos (pugs) are worth the money. They make a hug difference in our Texas heat. I aslo made refletix bunk window covers.
  • @generatormike
    Pop up gizmos are a must reflection in the wing windows this keeps noise and heat out plus no moisture wicks through onto your pillows

    Thank you John these aren't just tips are kind of necessities

    Cleaver camping is a wonderful occupation which I have enjoyed with my family for decades! I wish I was out there thinking of new inventions right now! :) Happy Trails!

    I like wine and cocktails sometimes and got a 9-12 glass hanging stemware rack for the ceiling above the sink of my Coleman Popup because I like to use real wine glasses sometimes. Glasses are removed for travel. Easy install and very handy. Doubles as a wind chime in windy conditions and glasses will walk right out of the rack. A tiny bungee at end opening cures this problem.
  • @arkansashorsetrails1
    Love your tips! My favorites are the Pop-up Gizmos & the O2 Cool fan. We will be trying these out. It gets really hot here in Arkansas!
  • @chrisswan6343
    Fans and refrigerators are great if you have electricity. But, we camp up in the U.P. in the state forest. Boondocking in the woods take a little different tack.

    Thanks, John, for your helpful, practical tips and lessons you learned. Just might get my dream pop up camper this year!
