FX,
That is exactly why I kept my old Coleman Chesapeake pop-up when I got my class-A this past spring. I can experience the wet lands, waste lands, back roads, back woods, sea shore and mountains in the old pop-up in ways that just aren't possible in a large MH. The Class-A was purchased to facilitate a three month Quest to Alaska in June '06 and hopefully open up a new RVing world for me.
Actually, I kept the pop-up because it was so full of great memories that I couldn't bear to part with it. In addition, my grand kids still love to use it for sleep overs and slumber parties. With Air, microwave and color TV it makes a great extra bedroom.
