Seems obvious to me - if you want to enjoy the comforts offered by camping in a travel trailer rather than a popup the maintenance and costs involved in owning such a trailer are going to be exponentially greater. It's MUCH easier to justify owning a popup that may only get used a few times each season and the rest of the time just sit there than a travel trailer that over it's lifespan will cost it's owner a considerable amount, whether used often or rarely at all.
Just looked through the offerings at the dealer I bought my trailer from, only 2 base units (8' box with zero features) are significantly cheaper than what I bought my trailer for, everything else ranges from a few hundred less to a few thousand more. I haven't owned a popup but I have used one and the per-trip maintenance on a popup is enough more to easily make up for the annual sealant check on the travel trailer.
