I am in the Fold Up camper sub forum, am I not? I'm here to read about fold up trailers,not read about why I should own a conventional trailer because bigger is better and equates quality.
Mike Up - I lived the big end of rv'ing (actually had two 34' motorhomes - an Excalibur & a Sports Coach, owned over 10 yrs) then a 19' Jayco travel trailer (owned 6 years) and eventually downsized to the A-Frame. No sugar coating here.
Value will hold on my unit. As it stands, my pop up is nearly 3 years old and still lists for more than I purchased it for. Dollar for dollar, If I ever sell my hardsided pop up - I have no doubt it will resale far better than a larger trailer. Hard sided pop ups don't last long on the market.
My friend had a gorgeous Nash trailer with slide outs. She saw my hard side & after some thought, she decided to sell the Nash and buy one like mine. The Nash was priced extremely fair but she couldn't sell it even listing it on Craigslist. She finally decided to use as a trade at the dealer. Many dealers cannot keep up with the demand of the hard side pop ups. No problem with sales in that area.
Why in the world would you think I was discussing your folding hard side camper when I explicitly stated a Jayco Tent POP UP. Not a hard side folding camper.
Sounds like your a little defensive especially when the original post doesn't include your type of camper or your like of it. The post was ABOUT HOW EXPENSIVE actual POP UPs have gotten, not hard sided folding campers, and why they haven't been selling as well as in the past (when they were less expensive).
With your train of thought, Trailmanor and Hilo owners will also start crying foul, even though they aren't true pop ups or even tent based.
