*Popup Campers*
Having just bought a popup camper I searched the net for lists of gear that people keep them stocked with. These lists were helpful but they all seemed to be geared towards camping in private campgrounds not out in the woods as I like to do. I also want to be able to keep the popup stocked to make it easier to go on those last minute trips without the hectic rummaging through the house to get the needed equipment together.
