I'm trying to sell my 2000 Jayco 14SO Popup now. It is in great shape since its been garage stored. So it will be a bargain for someone vs the cost of a new one.
We upgraded last summer to a TT and after having both, I love them both.
The Popup we have is close to 3000 lbs, so it still takes an SUV or small/medium truck. But, it is so easy to get around vs the TT. Our TT is close to 30 feet and we love the room, convience, etc...
At our age, we want the convience.
When we purchased the Pup in 2000, we wanted the convience that it gave us compared to tent camping on the ground.
Still like the feel that a pup is like you are tent camping with the convience. We enjoyed hearing, smelling and seeing the outdoors from the PUP. It was so much like the real camping we enjoyed so much.
But dispite camping in the PUP in the summer with 95 degree temps and in the winter (one time with 27 degree temps), the comfort of all weather camping in the TT is hard to beat.
Both are great and have their advantages. Wouldn't have given anything for our experience with both.
BTW... the original premise is true. As they tried to build everything in a TT into a PUP, they price has really gone up . Yes, there isn't much difference in price. You can have most of the features of a TT in a smaller/lighter PUP.
