Hello all,
I'm new to the forum but I've been lurking for the last couple months trying to learn more. I am in the market for a popup and I thank you all for your great site info.
One thing I'm not seeing is 1/2 ton Ram's carrying a popup and to some degree I know why. I really love my Ram but since the change to coil spring from leaf they have become the worst on the market for payload, sadly. That aside I've been looking at the FWC Raven and the ATC Ocelot and since they are a close drive to the factories, we will be visiting them soon to see what they're like. I've read the thread of why those picked ATC over FWC but I don't see a FWC over ATC thread...........or perhaps I missed it.
I've owned travel trailers before and enjoyed the comforts and living space but I realize with my last one that I basically used it for a bed and a stove. So that's what brought up the popup camper search. I'd like to be able to drive into the deep forest, park in some area and have that be home for the weekend and not drag a 6k lb lunch box up some trail.
I already have suspension and tire upgades in the plan to make this happen and, thanks to this site, some really great areas I'd like to explore near where we live.
Looking forward to contributing and learning more,
Cheers
JJ
