Over the last few years, I have not had the opportunity to camp in anything but a tent or as is the case now, i have a F-250 Super Duty with a fiberglass shell that I stay in. It's fine for just me but when the wife and kids want to go , it's obviously impossible. We have to beg or borrow for someone's trailer. After last year's episode, I would definitely recommend a hard side trailer over a pop up. Normally it is not really cold in Texas, but last year we were all staying in a pop up and a major cold front blew in and it was snowing. It took (2) 1500 watt heaters and electric blankets to stay somewhat confortable in the pop up. Earlier in the year we used a hard sided trailer and (1) heater kept the trailer more than comfortable.
