New (to me) Pop up camper

Well I was all stoked this morning to get a full day to work on my 4.3 swap, then my wife finds an '01 pop up camper just posted on Craigslist that sounded like a great deal.
We have missed several in the last couple of weeks, they go pretty fast if their worth the money.
It was a very good deal and the seller threw in a new 3500W generator. The seller called this evening to make sure we made it back okay and said he had 5 calls this afternoon... good thing we pulled the trigger.
I will set it up and take some pics tomorrow.
Big Bend, Colorado and South Padre are all on the calendar for this year so I am thinking it will be well worth the investment.

Sounds like a cool find...even threw in the generator too. Nice. My wife and I are currently looking for a popup. That is until i got distracted by yotatech. I look forward to seeing pics of yours. On a side note Lowes has the Mr. Heater Buddy Portable indoor heater for $39 which is half of the $79 normal price. I bought one today for camping in the 4runner or in the new popup when I get it.

Sounds like a good deal, looking forward to the pics... by "Pop-up" do you mean a tent trailer or a slide in with half canvas sides?
Just curious I've heard both called pop-ups...

Here is my 2000 Fleetwood (Coleman) Fairview. 12 ft. box w/ 2 king beds and slide out dinette.


Here it is in the background.


And 1 more


This is a typical "pop-up" camper, also known as a folding tent trailer.

That's what I thought they were talking about... I've always known them as a "Tent Trailer"...
