Fewer pop ups out there?
I it just me or are there fewer pop ups being sold? There are several RV dealers near me which are no longer stocking new pop ups. Those that still sell them seem to have less interest in selling ...

Well, here's my take on the question and why I tow a PUP.
I had a medium size camper that I towed behind a motorcycle
and then I bought an HHR to tow it with, but there were
limitations on the HHR. Namely a 1000 lb limit. So I sold
the HHR and bought a GMC Terrain with 3500 lbs. of towing.
Then I sold the M/C camper and went looking. Since I live in the southwest I thought that I should be able to find a good used
one for a reasonable amount. It turns out that most of the hardsided
campers weigh more than the towing capacity of my new GMC.
There are a few exceptions but that's another subject.
I wound up with a Palomino Y 4124 that has a 12' box and expands
to 24'. Just about right for the two of us (the wife)
The beauty of this setup is that even with the trailer
(and I keep my foot out of the gas pedal, I get 21/22 mpg most
of the time.)
