How awful of an experience are trailer tents?

Theyre ok. It's basically just a tented, box-bed. It does what it needs to.

We had a pop up when I was a little boy. It wasn't that bad. But as a man I see it as the ultimate half measure.

Get a good tent. They are ubiquitous now thanks to Amazon. Or get a real trailer with a kitchen and a fridge and all that shit. Pop ups have never made sense to me.

They can be the right intersection of "we can afford this without barrowing" and "my wife and other women in my family will accept this as a solution to their refusal to sleep in a traditional tent on the ground" but they do suffer from the issues of being the kludge of two things.
Always make sure you thoroughly clean AND dry it out before storing it for the year, don't store it uncovered, air it out in the spring even if you're not planning to use it that year and monitor for rot and damage

THIS!
I see so many once decent pop-up trailers for sale, with rotted fabric and interiors because the owners were too fucking lazy to let it dry or take care of it.

They're cheap quick and easy, what's not to get? You have autism right?

Interior of a 1970’s Apache Mesa hard side pop-up, complete with a full kitchen and a fridge. The walls are hard sheets of fiberglass rather than a nylon tent. Sleeps 6 comfortably. Top of the line and under $14,000 when adjusted for inflation. Weight is under 1,600lbs/750kg, so even a small SUV could tow it.

THIS IS WHAT THEY TOOK FROM YOU.

Exterior. We had one when I was a kid (late 80’s, early 90’s). They stopped making them in the 1970’s. With Scamp and Casita (and Escape, sort of) becoming more popular due to not requiring an F450 Diesel Texas Edition McDouble to tow it, there’s obviously a market for something like the Apache Mesa.
