Well we decided against a pop up and went with the Jayco I had been looking at for some time.
Its a 2007 Jayco feather sport 218, we bought it used from a rv dealership about 3 hours away they treated us great and we feel happy with the deal. I dont think it was ever used or if it was only a couple of times it looks showroom new.
I had the dealer give me his bottom price including WDH + Brake controller before we drove to look at it.
I will get some pics up sooner or later
thanks for the links guys very helpful!
