I know where the PUPs are

OK I obviously do not know where "every single" PUP on the entire planet is. My point here is this.

On our way back home Sunday from our own camping weekend. I counted 23 PUPs that was being towed down the interstate (opposite direction of what we were driving). Why is this a big deal?
1-I have travelled down interstates for years now and most trips I dont see even 1 PUP
2-We was on the interstate for only 36 miles.
3-That does not include the 5 I seen on the the 20 miles of 2 lane we travelled after turning off the interstate.

Funny enough, we was the ONLY PUP at the CG this weekend

I agree, you hardly ever see them on the road compared to years ago.

I don't have one now but I used to. Fast forward quite a few years and I went out to buy a new one. Yikes the prices were so high. I then started looking at used and same thing there.

So, IMHO from experience, prices on PUP's are way too high. A family of 4 can buy a TT for MUCH LESS. Add that to all the new 'lightweight' TT's on the market and you can see why so many campers are switching to a small TT instead of a PUP.

That's why I think there are so few PUP's on the road nowadays. It's less expensive to buy a TT, AND they have a whole lot more room for less $$.

That's what I ended doing I bought one of those lightweight TT's with a slide and it cost less than a used PU. Hard to justify buying a new PUP that costs more than a nice TT.

I am surprised that more PUP manufactures haven't gone out of business or dropped their PU lines.
