Couldn't agree more :)
I would argue that the TT can be equal or more expensive when comparing living space and bed sizes to pop ups. For example, how big do you need to go on a TT to have 2 king size "full time" beds? My 17ft closed pup has them. Do they even make a TT with two? How about a just 2 queen beds that dont have to be something different during the day? A really big TT. Heck, I just saw some bed specs on a Bunk House model TT trying to compare spaces.... 28 inch wide bunks! I couldnt sleep in that without felling like I was in a coffin! I'd have to wonder if my kids could when they are teens. But this argument is unfair and comparing apples to oranges.
Price is relative. Even though my pup is 17 feet long closed up, a 17ft long TT wont have near the room as my pup when opened up. You need to compare 25-30 ft TT to an average size pup today. Apples to Oranges.
Manualman, I do agree with you a lot... about Americans wanting to bring it all with them rather than get away. I find myself, a 30 something, having some difficulty seperating from my phone. But I do and after a day its great. The kids gadgets dont make the trips ;) I don't see the trend reversing anytime soon and It can be tricky getting wifi and sat tv in a pop up. MAybe their days are numbered to an extant, probably after all the used Colemans are beyond used, and Ill have moved over to a hybrid LOL
