"....Not everyone needs a big trailer, or wants a big trailer. If i choose to pay big bucks for a pop-up, thats my choice...... like i said in one of your other pop-up threads, i've owned 'em all, and i work for Chevrolet, so i can drive the biggest baddest pick-ups..... i choose not to......".
I'm seconding that. I realize that pups are high priced compared to trailers. I can afford, within reason, to purchase any kind of car/truck/camper I want. But I simply don't want to pull a trailer and I like the pups for the room. As all of us that have pups know, once you open the bed ends, you have a large space! We take a lot of gear when we camp and use the bed-ends for clothes storage. Not enough storage, for us, in a small trailer. We're also 'hard core' hikers and bikers. So, we're gone all day doing something rather than 'living' in the trailer for most of the day. I still cook with the old-fashioned, white gas/hand pump, coleman two-stove burner, plus charcoal grill. Don't need, or want, a big kitchen or microwave. I like camping, not having something like my house.
To each his own...........
