Campsite Set Up in a National Forest with the Pop Up Camper | Dry Camping Tips included!

[@Play3r-ONE]

When leaving your camper to do stuff, you can fold your step up and lock it to prevent anyone from being able to open the door. It is a great way to secure it and keep people deterred. Just don't forget your key.

Looks great. Where in the Midwest do u camp at? I'm from the Midwest and stay at state parks in Minnesota and Iowa. I plan on posting more videos next week

[@Popupinrealife87]

I am actually located in the Pacific Northwest so I stay in this area. Happy Camping!

It looks like you are using your battery box on the tongue for storage. (Maybe I am confused.) Does the four prong hookup on your car run the necessary driving lights on the back of the camper without going through a “car”battery on the camper tongue or is yours stored somewhere else? I know this sounds like a crazy question but if I can go to a campsite with electric and or just use ice and little batteries to run a fan, that would make life even simpler. As you can tell, I have no clue about electric.

[@Popupinrealife87]

Great question. The 4 prong hook up when the car is running powers the taillights and blinkers on the pop up when traveling without using the battery. The battery is mainly used for lights in the pop up and a fan if you have a propane heater in your pop up which I don’t. Outlets cannot be powered by your battery. That’s why I got ride of my battery because there wasn’t much use for it and now just use the box for storage.

[@LoveMtDulcimerMusic]

@@Popupinrealife87 Thank you for explaining that. It opens up some new possibilities for me and also eliminates the need to worry about that type of battery. Looking at getting a setup like a Jackery (or similar) for maybe running a fan and powering a cell phone.

[@Popupinrealife87]

@@LoveMtDulcimerMusic I think the jacket is a good option!

[@317peppermint]

Silly question. How do you guys keep rodents from your pop up such as bears and raccoons or others in a wild area like this?

[@Popupinrealife87]

@@317peppermint I never had issues but I guess it’s depends on where you camp.

[@marikiemarie7622]

What about large wild animals? Thats my fear with tents and pop ups.

[@Popupinrealife87]

I guess that’s a possibility but I haven’t personally had any issues. People then have to think about other ways to defend themselves in those scenarios.

[@marikiemarie7622]

@Popupinrealife87 thank you for your response. Pop up campers are very popular so I'm not too worried. But I do have a fear. Lol

[@Popupinrealife87]

@@marikiemarie7622 yes there is a risk. But all depends on where you camp.
