It is crazy at how expensive PUPS have become. I paid $5,200 for this back in 1995 at an RV show. It was pretty basic with just a small fridge and a pump faucet. I sold it 17 years later for $2,000 when I bought the trailer in my sig. I think I got a good price for it. The pic below was taken the the week I sold it. Nice and clean all original (except the awning) I do miss it at times, but the trade off to having a full bathroom, hot water and a full size fridge makes camping a lot more easier. I find myself going a lot more now that I have the trailer.
knowing that PUPs nowadays are selling for more than what I paid for my trailer new in 2012 ($11,000) is crazy. But, like others have mentioned, PUPs are nice if you have a mini van or SUV and don't want to fork over the money for a full sized truck/hitch systems etc. The start up cost going from a PUP to a TT trailer can get pricey.
