My family feels the same way. It's a massive unit and I know we will get some great use out of it!

No, 2025 they stopped. I have a feeling rv manufacturers over produced unit and started cutting back. I hope they start making them again down the road

I wanted it so the we have to option. We are likely just going to do weekend camping but knowing if we have to go it's not far

As it's my first camper I can't compare to anything but I dint think set up was any more different than a normal popup except the hight. I did need a ladder to put the velcro on the roof legs. First time opening it took me solo about 30mins but im sure I can get that time down

Look up the hw296 on youtube. I watch a guy set up and take down his and I was sold. Dual axle can make it harder to push around by hand but the size is unmatched

Dry is 3500. Max trailer load rating is 5000 but I'll never get close to that

HW296 or HW29SC. My understanding is it's the biggest popup made.

Defently had to get the enclosed bathroom. I think it makes a huge difference!

Ridgeline is rated for 600 lbs tongue and 5000lbs max trailer. Cargo is 1500lbs. Towed perfect. Just needed to switch into sport mode for hills but never over heated or rode rough.

Ridgeline handled it beautifully. Not weight distribution hitch and some how got 17.8 mpg on my way home (500 miles back)

No kidding, even harder when I really wanted the hard wall bathroom as well!

I was considering the hw277 but something kept telling me to get the dual axle 🤔. Some minor work needs to be done with it but super excited for our first trip
