Well, we took the new PU out this weekend and it worked out great. For the large size of this popup it tows really, really good. It was nice having the large tires and ground clearance to be able to get in and out of some rough areas. We had one ATV on the cargo deck along with (2) coolers, a chainsaw, a generator, a large stove/griddle combo, and a fuel container. We definitely loved the oversized deck, while we were set up I used it as a "prep" table for the meals I was cooking on my portable grille. The high-wall design worked very well as it allows for normal counter heights without having a fold-over galley, and as said before the slide-out dinette makes all the difference in interior room, and the "cassette toilet" with built-in shower was a great convenience for the wife.
The only negative I have come up with is that it would be nice if the fridge would have been located directly infront of the door, to allow access if you forget something and the top is alread folded down. Not a huge deal, but you really have to plan ahead with your fridge cool-down period and loading of the parishables prior to dropping the top.
