Upgrade from Pop Up????
We've had our Pop Up for about 8 years now, and have really enjoyed it. We really like the openness of it. It's a 12ft box, and has a slide for the dinnette. The popping up and down before we l...

We upgraded from a 32 ft TT to a 12 ft box pup with a slide.
We love it and have zero desire to go back to a TT. I am getting a chuckle out of the 15 min set up of a TT. It was an hour for us... Our pup is about the same. We don't have canvas we have Sunbrella and it's pretty nice stuff.
With the pup, Our bed is bigger, our dinette is bigger, our couch is bigger, and we have a queen bed we didn't have before. Our wet bath is nicer than the closet toilet in our 32 ft TT. I really love the Cassette toilet much better than the black tank!
leveling the single axle trailer is easier than the dual axle. The top is up in about two minutes. The beds are set and the door is hung in the next five minutes or so. The rest is just normal camp set up.
Maintenence is cheaper, mpg is better, love everything about it.
Since Sunbrella is used for the tenting I can towel dry the tenting. Putting the top up and down while packing was a pain until I realized that I didn't have to set the thing up... Top up, bed pulled out some, then I have access.. 3-5 minutes max... Now we have camper stuff that stays with the PUP.
I have a tub that acts as a chuck box, it fits right inside the door so going in and out of the camper isn't a very often event.
Anyway, different needs for different people. We love the simplicity of our PUP and we have nearly every amenity of a TT... Never mind that we have more room in our living area than we did in our no slide TT. Our boys love the PUP too since they have much larger beds.
Sorry for the book, things are not all sunshine and unicorns with a TT. Just like anything else, there are pros and cons to everything.
The biggest thing I miss on my TT is the spring loaded awning. It was great.
We may go back to a TT one day, there are no absolutes....we love camping. But right now a PUP fits great.
Thanks!
