    I really love the Super Pacific, but for longer term, I'm looking at full cabover popups. Help me understand the differences in brands and options-- I'm puzzled over the price range and available options; I haven't spent the time pricing out each option yet (simply because I don't even know what are often-used features people tend to stick with.)

    Use case: traveling Baja as full-time as possible (work, Starlink), side racks for board(s), other storage/recovery, room for some "topping off" solar, fan(?); are windows needed? And of course, hitting the slopes and potentially RV camping sometimes. So many questions! Appreciate any thoughts.

    Attached are the brands I've found and looking at.

    Definitely an intimidating number of manufacturers out there. I have my deposit in on a Hiatus Camper. The hard-walled insulated popup sides sold me. A more expensive base model, yes, but I visited their facility in Bellingham, WA and was impressed by the small-scale attention to detail operation. Also dm'd a bunch of owners featured on their Instagram page and every single one raved about the production experience and product performance. I have a sheet that compiles the owner responses and can send to you if interested. Picking mine up in Feb 2024!

    That would be wonderful! That was a top choice as well.
