Hmmm - you have a wife and two young daughters and you ask that question? LOL - yeah, they are gonna want that.

It's been awhile but growing up my Dad bought one of those Coleman popup units. We started doing a lot of camping. That popup lasted exactly one season before Dad got rid of it and went with a regular camper. It was a pain in the ass to say the least. A somewhat of peaceful sleep helps makes the trip enjoyable and that didn't happen. Anyone moves and everyone knows it. Real heavy rains and the bed areas do get damp if not wet. We always had to place stuff in the middle of the camper so set up and tear down required moving stuff around.

Anyway - we went to the small size one and over the years Dad keep upgrading until we had a 26 footer as the family grew to 7 of us.

A lot really depends on how much you plan on using it. Couple times a year, sure go for it. We were at least a once a month if not twice during spring and fall seasons.

I would suggest that you check around for various storage yards to see what you can find before committing. You may find a secure yard fairly cheap.
