2. the 4.2 cu/ft fridge is just as expensive as the larger single door TT fridge
I wouldn't have a single door refrigerator. To small and the internal freezer is just big enough for ice cubes.

3. In another thread, you stated the PUP fridges don't work as well without fans, not true
They only get between 40 to 50 degrees without added fans because they are installed wrong. They need space above the refrigerator with a vent to draw air across the fins. Pop Up refrigerators don't have space above, just a panel above and a vent on the side. Their vent is below the top of the refrigerator which doesn't provide enough natural air flow across the fins for adequate cooling. Hense the necessity for aftermarket fans.

5. "entertainment system??" When has a TT come with a high end entertainment system? I'm talking mainstream TT's not the top line stuff.
My TT is a mainstream and comes with a DVD Player system, 26" HD Flat Panel TV, and provides indoor ceiling speakers and outdoor wall speakers. Only the cheapest models don't offer that.

7. Oh yeah, I have a hard wall bathroom, no curtain like you stated in one of your other posts.
Very rare, only the more expensive pop ups have that, which are usually much more expensive than a much better featured travel trailer. My Pop Up and every other pop up on the new market that's not a "HIGH WALL" has a curtain.

Maybe you should've tried a high wall PUP? Actually, I don't think any PUP would satisfy you so you had better stick to your TT.
No, the High wall campers are way over priced for what they have and their refrigerators are still to small to hold enough food for a week for a family along with the lack of an adequate sized freezer to hold enough frozen food. Also the lack of over head storage keeps everyone crawling on the floor for storage. Then storage is still lacking.
Getting back to what I was saying:
While the above is true, for a price that is adjusted down from a travel trailer, to reference the lower end appliances and such, is doable for me, not so much for the wife.
I've had 2 brand new pop ups and their prices were in line with what they were and not over priced compared to prices on todays Pop Ups. If a good quality made Pop Up had lower prices in comparison to the much more featured travel trailers, then that's a camper worth considering.
Fridge: you were comparing price not size, look it up. If yours was only getting to 50deg it was BROKEN, next time get it fixed. FWIW, most RV refrigerators are installed wrong, this isn't a problem exclusive to PUPs
Yeah, you have a bigger TV than I do, everything else is the same. Guess I'd have to go to Costco and spend $150 to equal your "entertainment system"
Every camper from the smallest PUP to the largest DP class A is overpriced. If you're buying brand new then you're taking a bath on every one of them, maybe that's why they seem overpriced??
Point being is people make a CHOICE on the type of camping they want to do. I did, I've had PUPS, TTS and even a tear drop. I could buy any trailer I wanted to go camping but I chose.... Your comsistent bashing, degrading and baiting PUPs and owners is not wanted. You start these threads to forward your agenda on bashing and a few others join in but most just roll their eyes and think it's just Mike again spewing his cr@p. What axe do you have to grind with PUPs? I admit it has been a while but I don't think you can buy a new top of the line TT for 16k, more like 20-25k unless it is small. Remember, some PUPs open to near 30' and more.
So I will end my part in this thread by saying my PUP is built much better than any of my TTs were. Like I stated earlier, look how many old PUPs are out there and how few old TTs are out there, gives you a measure of the quality of the build doesn't it? Now, go back to the TT page and find something to bit@h about there, lol...
