I recently made the move from a PUP to a TT after 9 years in the PUP. Can can tell you set up and take down is so much easier, and faster. Also lots of times we would have to pop up and down at home either before and/or after the trip. The TT eliminates all of that.
I've got 2 teenagers that actually enjoy camping. My daughter asked for her 16th birthday party to take her friends camping, so we will be taking 7-8 teenagers with us. (Wish me luck on that)
Unfortunately here in the south east, we don't really have the option of boondocking, it is all state park, or COE campgrounds and a few others. Some campgrounds are really hard to get into, like on the gulf coast, you have to plan 6-11 months out. Others you can get in easily, but it depends on location, and time of year.
Good luck in the search, we have been happy we made the switch, and wish we had done it sooner. Although we have great memories of the popup.
