LAST EDITED ON Oct-27-13 AT 04:15PM (MST)[p]I have a Cabela's 12'x12'x Alaknak tent and a Cabover Camper.
I bought the cabover 14 years ago when my kids were young. I would highly recommend considering this over a Pop-up. Cabovers are much easier to get in and out of tight spots, actually have much more storage space, are easy to take off with electric jacks, have built in heaters with a thermostat, outside showers(ignore full size bath's), a full kitchen with hot water, sinks, fridge and freezer. The best thing, and what I miss most when using my tent, is the fact that it takes a fraction of the time to break camp and leave, which can be huge in a storm. I never had a hard time sleeping 3 grown-up's(Big bed, converted dinner table, and floor(up to 6'5 easy).
The benefit of my tent set-up is that there is more room for 3 guys in terms of hanging out. With younger kids this wasn't really an issue, or they were usually outside when I cooked. The Alaknak, is much lighter than your typical canvas outfitter tent the same size, has a built in floor to keep mice out(huge), and does set up and take down fairly quick with 2 people, but can be done with one. Most canvas tents are really hard with one person. Add the additional vestibule and you add bout 8'x 4' of actual extra storage for cooking, wood, and wet boots.
I use both now for more casual and bigger camps when needed, using my cabover as the full service kitchen, and my grand bedroom suite, keeping my three 6' to 6'4" son's in the tent with their stinky socks.
Budget wise, the Alaknak, with 3 cots, tables, woodstove, etc, can be had with patience for about $1000.00 all in. Used camper for 3/4 ton or larger pickup used in great shape for about $5-7k, and older one's in great shape for maybe $2k under that.
Hunted with a buddy and his dad with their "pop-up" tent trailer for 4 years, and I always thought the amount of storage, set-up/break-down time, and the small wheels/suspension were not what I wanted for my kind of hunting, plus no real shower option.
Good luck...
