In my prior job I was 'forced' to work sport shows in the off-season (I know rough huh). During one of my trips to Denver to work the Denver Boat and Travel show, I ran into the Car Show's display (so very similar to LoveToCamp's experience).

Growing up we had a mid-70s Apache hard side popup, and I knew I just had to find something similar. I'm still not sure why one of the major popup manufactures didn't pick up on Apache's design, as it was a simple idea, while being such an improvement over the canvas sides that are still in use.

So at that time the search was on, and I finally found the one I we ended up purchasing in Ohio. The seller had advertised on 3-4 online venues, so I started with the lowest advertised price and we worked from there. Met him half way in Council Bluff's Iowa. I've been doing modifications, enjoying this forum, and camping with my family ever since.

Good Post, Thanks LoveToCamp!
