Towing a pop-up vs. a self-contained
I've owned 3 pop-up campers over the last 18 years. I'd like to upgrade to a 27' self-contained camper but I'd like more information about the differences in towing them. Any and all info is welcome. ...

Thank you,

Great answers so far. One significant difference is rear view. As in looking out your rear view/side view mirrors to see what's going on behind you.
The perspective, of course, is determined by the height of the tow vehicle vs the height of the PUP. If the TV is a vehicle that sits relatively high off the ground, you should be able to see over the roof of the PUP as to what's happening behind you, if there's a line of cars, or whatever.
With a travel trailer? Not so much. Not at all, in fact. Dependent on the views from your side mirrors, as you've got nothing but a slab from the interior rear view mirror.
