I hear from popup and folding trailer owners that they often feel like second class citizens and think that owners of bigger rigs look down their noses at them. At the same time, if they move on to a TT or such, they call it an "upgrade".
I have a small folding trailer. I don't feel like a second class citizen. It works for me and that's all that matters. None of my camper buys have been an upgrade - they've just been what worked at the time.
If someone calls it little? Well it is. If someone calls it cozy? Well it is. Why take offense at the truth?
We moved from a tent to that 2nd class in '04. And we still use it.
Setting up for a month as campground host, another host asked if we would stay in that little thing. I explained that when working I would spend couple weeks at a time in a 5X8 camper, the 7X24 was no issue.
But OTOH, we camp. Most of our time on the site is outside.
I do think that campground/park choice has a lot to do with it. I camp for the most part. And most always dry camp. I don't see people paying much attention to me or my camper because they are busy doing their own thing and wanting to enjoy the outdoors and not socializing with strangers.
At RV parks, I think there is much more socialization and "people watching" so you are more likely to get people commenting on different camper choices.
