As I said, I wouldn't have a single door so your point is mute.

Nope, this is common as I even told you why. Everyone on the pop up forums were installing fans to correct defective pop up designs and inefficient refrigeration cooling. Same on both my Pop Ups.

I don't buy other's ****. Every used TT and Pop Up was in poor condition, way over priced, and not much cheaper than a 'new' camper.
If you are dumb enough to pay close to MSRP, you deserve what you get. I pay nothing near.

You sound like a liberal that can't accept that someone doesn't share your opinion. So now they are bashing. Perhaps you need to have some "TOLERANCE" for others that don't share your different way of thinking.

I have and see many many old TTs in good condition and very few older pups out in the campgrounds that aren't falling apart. Once again solidifying my stance on the better quality of TTs.

Rockwood Highwall Pups are more expensive or the same as what I actually pay for "NEW" travel trailers. I pay anywhere from 60% to 70% of MSRP. This doesn't include the artificial MSRP inflation with delivery or prep fees by untrustworthy dealers.

Presently none of my local dealers are selling pop ups because they aren't selling.
I just talked to one dealer who has no standard model pop ups or even larger 12' models. They only sell the cheapest pop ups because the higher end models don't sell due to their higher prices.

2. the 4.2 cu/ft fridge is just as expensive as the larger single door TT fridge
I wouldn't have a single door refrigerator. To small and the internal freezer is just big enough for ice cubes.Adam H wrote:
3. In another thread, you stated the PUP fridges don't work as well without fans, not true
They only get between 40 to 50 degrees without added fans because they are installed wrong. They need space above the refrigerator with a vent to draw air across the fins. Pop Up refrigerators don't have space above, just a panel above and a vent on the side. Their vent is below the top of the refrigerator which doesn't provide enough natural air flow across the fins for adequate cooling. Hense the necessity for aftermarket fans.Adam H wrote:
5. "entertainment system??" When has a TT come with a high end entertainment system? I'm talking mainstream TT's not the top line stuff.
My TT is a mainstream and comes with a DVD Player system, 26" HD Flat Panel TV, and provides indoor ceiling speakers and outdoor wall speakers. Only the cheapest models don't offer that.Adam H wrote:
7. Oh yeah, I have a hard wall bathroom, no curtain like you stated in one of your other posts.
Very rare, only the more expensive pop ups have that, which are usually much more expensive than a much better featured travel trailer. My Pop Up and every other pop up on the new market that's not a "HIGH WALL" has a curtain.Adam H wrote:
Maybe you should've tried a high wall PUP? Actually, I don't think any PUP would satisfy you so you had better stick to your TT.
No, the High wall campers are way over priced for what they have and their refrigerators are still to small to hold enough food for a week for a family along with the lack of an adequate sized freezer to hold enough frozen food. Also the lack of over head storage keeps everyone crawling on the floor for storage. Then storage is still lacking.
Getting back to what I was saying:
While the above is true, for a price that is adjusted down from a travel trailer, to reference the lower end appliances and such, is doable for me, not so much for the wife.
I've had 2 brand new pop ups and their prices were in line with what they were and not over priced compared to prices on todays Pop Ups. If a good quality made Pop Up had lower prices in comparison to the much more featured travel trailers, then that's a camper worth considering.
