In the southeast, I'd get a TT -- it is much better in the rain. Out west, where I live, a pop-up might be ok -- much less rain (unfortunately).
This is the answer for me - I lived and camped in a pup on both coasts, now back on East Coast.
I don't understand the hour setup times. I have the help of teens but after we made our first few trips and worked out a system, we got setup down to 30 minutes or less from when I back in the site. I bought an Anderson leveler and it's down to 15 since half of our time was fighting a door on an old pup that was finicky if you weren't perfectly level.
- I have A/C and Heat plus I love to open canvas for a breeze and the camping feel.
- I do not have the dinette slide. Pup gets cramped with two adults and two teens without that wider walkway.
- Use damprid and pup is fine in the rain.
- We leave certain items in the pup and I put a FlipBak on the TV and use the back to pack. I would love convenience of packing TT but easily mitigated.
The pain is taking down in the rain, particularly having to set it up at home again to make sure canvas is completely dry.
I'm on the same fence as OP - because I'm back in the East, I'm considering a TT but feel I would regret it, especially with a 1/2 ton as a TT which limits length/weight on a TT.
