Yah I had one when I was a weekend warrior..That's looking at it from an RV perspective.
If you look at it from a camping perspective, there are more advantages than just the size of the TV, ...
Compared with tent camping:
More storage space.
More comfortable beds.
Off the ground sleeping.
Furnace and AC.
Stove
'fridge (if you want).
Even toilet/shower (if you want).
And, best of all, it's still camping, under "canvas" and all!
(We enjoyed our popup for many years.)
When I had to do surgery on the lift system in the middle of hunting season, and ratchet strap the roof down to get it home, that sealed my opinion! I have seen many units alongside the hyway with canvas deployed like a parachute. Had a camper next to me last year with an a/c on the roof. Seems the system broke free while raising the roof on the location of the a/c,spoiled his family's camp trip.
But I was only trying to discourage a bad idea nothing more.
