We've been members of this site since 2018 when we bought our Outback 324CG.
Learned a lot from the fine members here but just sat quietly searching the forums and reading. Posted for the 1st time earlier today.
I have camped my entire life. As a family, we tent camped before buying our 1st used pop-up in 96. Small 6' box but it did the job until the kids started getting bigger. In 99, we bought a brand new Coleman Utah pop-up. 12' box with a dinette slide out. More than doubled our living space. Camped in that for 19yrs before getting the Outback.
Kids were a little upset with us that we waited for them to move out before buying a bigger camper.
