My question is this, I'm 65, how physically demanding is it to set up by myself? I saw a video. It looks toooooo easy.

It certainly looks far less complicated than my big Jayco, crank forever, then so many other tasks to get it set up.

A little late in responding but we switched from a pop-up to the TM in 2010. At 67 I don't miss all the back breaking work of setting up the pop-up. The TM is a breeze and yes they are on the pricey side but a lot nicer for 6 to 8 months on the road with moves every few days.
