I'll bet if you asked around, you'd find someone with a full camper who
would swap with you. As far as I can tell, full campers are easier to find
than poptop weekenders.
Me, I like being able to roll over and start my coffee while I'm still in
bed (and once I get my propane tank issues straightened out, I'll be able
to do that again).
