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. ...

As named above - there are certainly trade-offs when moving away from a pop-up. WD hitches (if not using one with the Pop) are a bit more of a hassle, additional length makes gas/meal stops something that takes more thought, windy days can be a bigger issue, etc... The one thing I didn't see mentioned above is views. Again, depending on what you've been towing the pop-up with, you may have had some rear sight-lines with your current set-up. With a TT, you'd have none. Particularly when backing up, this makes a difference.
In the end, the trade-offs are minor in my mind, and many of them are compensated for by what you gain (setting up a WDH is FAR easier than setting up the canvas of a pop-up). You will feel less 'outdoors' in a TT, but if that is not a big loss to you, I don't think you'd regret moving to a TT.
