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 ...

I read that Popup camper sales peaked in years around 1998 with sales of around 63,000 popups. Now only about 11,000 are being made per year. This is a decrease of 52,000 units per year a decline of 80%. Wow!
No wonder I am not seeing hardly any new ones anymore.
I guess that also explains why there are so few companies still making Pups, and few dealers interested in selling them.
SSI reports that while travel trailer sales increased almost 10% this year, folding trailer sales declined about 4%.
Forest River was the folding camping trailer sales leader year-to-date with a 64.9% market share while Jayco (14.2%) held the No. 2 position followed by Columbia Northwest/Aliner Inc. (10.4%).
