Well... here we go again. You have patiently (or not) followed me through modifying slightly our pop up...
http://www.americanadventurist.com/forum/threads/not-so-expo-2005-rockwood-pop-up.2858/
After our trip to the Mid Atlantic Overland festival last summer, I decided I wanted something that would be a bit more rugged.... so again you followed me onto the renovation and modification of our old Bantam, and matching that up with a Napier Truck Tent... I will keep this set up for more "adventurous" adventures...

What I did not know at the time is that my ever tolerant wife, Ann, was eyeballing hard sided trailers... and then after watching @BushHead and his family pack up their travel trailer and roll in about 15 minutes at the Appalachian Rendevous... she came to the decision we needed to do something different.... something that did not have long set up and take down time, something we could pull into camp late at night and crash, etc...
And so I flirted with a 1991 Suburban...

thinking I could pull what I wanted... or just sleep inside.... but in the end did not want to let go of my jeep... so sold it.
SO! in an effort to stay with something we could pull with her 2004 Tacoma or my 2005 LJ Rubicon, we looked at... teardrops, small toy haulers.... and even slide in's that we could carry in the truck or the Bantam trailer. Well all that led to finding this for sale locally
A 2004 T@B "teardrop". It has a funky mural "wrap" on it... At 1370# empty it is about the same weight as the pop up, Can sleep all three of us inside for now (the boy will move out to a tent of his own when he gets too big, or grab a spot on the floor). We have a lot of cleaning to do. It comes with a Norcold 3 way fridge, a Northern Breeze roof vent/fan that can pull air in or push it out, 20# propane tank, 2 burner stove, sink, sweet awning, articulating hitch, parking brake. Does not look like many repairs to do... although the water tank is missing, so we will have to address that.
