There is far more to PUPs vs TTs than just costs and convenience. If they are your only measure than PUPs are cheaper TTs are more convenient.
That's not the OP's dilemma - he's not a newbie, has been in the game a long time, has owned popups before and isn't looking for an edumacation on the differences between camping in a popup vs camping in a travel trailer. Rather, he's in the same situation many of us have found ourselves in - plenty of years of camping, progression from tents, to popups, to TTs, etc, but then times change, that trailer begins to sit more and more yet continues to depreciate and incur ongoing maintenance & ownership expenses. Selling it is easy but then what? ... once it's gone, it's gone, which would mean no more camping, unless in a tent. The solution - a popup that is and always has been a quantum leap up from camping in a tent but without the significant costs of a travel trailer. I tried going back to a popup myself for this exact reason but it didn't work for us, the OP is a different person and obviously has decided that it would, EXCEPT his brand of math tells him he'd be better off financially keeping his TT.
My math says otherwise and I'm convinced that if he wants to stay in the game for years more while minimizing his costs for a camper he won't use much then he'd be much better off in the long run to get rid of his aging TT and buy that new popup he likes so much. He disagrees, as is his right, as it's also his right to call an end to this debate. ;)
