Product Description

Learn about your Pop-Up the Easy Way So you are thinking about buying a Pop-Up, or maybe you already bought one. If you bought it from an RV Dealer, you probably received a walkthrough, but you have no idea what was said! You can't remember what they told you about how to hook and unhook a pop-up from its tow vehicle. Now you're not sure when to lower the stabilizer jacks. What did they say about the awning? Learning the do's and don'ts on how to hook-up to campground water, and electric alone are enough to make your head spin! You probably took notes, but now you realize you might have heard something differently. Well, you can relax.

Review
Currently owners of a 1980's model pop up, we watched the Pop Up 101 DVD as Mark took us step by step through the pop up from making sure you haven't overloaded it which can be dangerous, to backing it in at the campground, and how to hook everything up. He includes do's and dont's that not everyone may realize are important. Mark does not speak over your head, he speaks in everyday, easy to understand language. He speaks slowly, but not too slowly making it easy to follow him and repeats a few things in a variety of ways to help the viewer completely understand. Watching the video, it seems as though he is a neighbor, friend, or family member with RVing experience who has come along with you for your first trip in the pop up. --Jason & Michelle Faust..ecampsite.com

Worth the money but ...
This is a really good video as far as the content goes. However the video quality is very poor. It looks like they used a VCR/DVD combo unit to record the VCR version onto a DVD.

I think this video could use an update. That being said, the content was very helpful.
