    You should park in the stadium lot at Mountaineer Field like the rest of the state for 6 months or so. Maybe catch a few games.

    What is your tow vehicle Grid. Most anything will pull a popup.

    It's a Buick Rendezvous. It'll pull the pop-up. Hell, it would probably pull the pop-up AND DaveW's rusty old pontoon boat at the same time.

    Can it pull Dave's boat up from the bottom of the lake?

    8' isn't very big. We got a 12' box and all the stuff grid got except the screen room for $3,200. Its a '95 Dutchman. It's the proverbial cat's ass.

    My whole problem with the popup is the lack of a bathroom. I can't imagine using campground showers and toilets is a good experience.

    I really need a bigger tow vehicle. If I were not so upside down on the Xterra I would get an Expedition or a Tahoe. I have seen several 24' trailers that I like but they are a little too heavy for the Xterra.

    depends on the campground. we stayed at the Williamsburg KOA and the facilities were first rate. always clean, plenty of shower stalls and toilets. We went to the KOA in Virginia Beach and the restooms and showers were nasty. I usually just wear an adult diaper and go in my pants.
