If space and money isn't an issue, look into A frame campers.

Think about it, you, the wife, the kid are in your 10 by 10 pop up camper trying to enjoy breakfast while one of you is sitting on the toilet...no thanks.
We have a Fleetwood (Coleman) that we bought new about 6 years ago. It's the Utah CP model. CP stands for cassette pottie. We wouldn't have a popup without one. We use the campsite facilities during the day and the CP at night.
We also have a refrigerator (120V, 12v or propane). Sometimes we just pack coolers, then transfer to the refrigerator after we setup. It all depends on remembering to plug it in the night before! Some models have "to down fridge access", but our model does not.
I added a Carrier Air V air conditioner. With the slide-out and two king beds, it's a little big for us now that the kids are grown, but we're hooked on it. It's not a high wall, so setup/tear down takes a little longer. Propane furnace and electric mattress pads are also must-haves for us.
Things to keep in mind:
- some of the high walls use a holding tank for the toilet black water. Forces you to wait in line at the dump station.
- towing weight and tow vehicle capacity. Some folks use weight distributing hitches with the larger models. Our model weighs around 3800lbs, but we tow with a 1500HD Silverado
- mods! Many people go crazy making mods to their popups. The quality varies all over the map.
