We ended up jumping to a TT several years back. Still miss the PUP at times. Not as easy to squeeze into our boon docking spots but still doable. Might consider a smaller model in the future.
Switched awhile ago.....

LOL....yeah. Bigger than planned. 
We had a 96 Coleman Bayport for over 20 years. Used it ton but as our kids went to school and moved out, we didn't use it as much. Ended up selling it to a neighbor cheap. They still use it. We weren't planning on getting another PUP/TT and a year later we started talking about it. Initially wanted something around 30' or under. At the time we had a Tundra 4.6L v8 so we were limited to certain weights. Couldn't find a camper to fit what we wanted. Plus the Tundra was having recurring electrical issues that they couldn't find the reason for. So ended up getting an F250 and then bought the Reflection. It definitely pulls different than a PUP! Definitely cozy. Like the PUP, it has it's routine set up. I miss the simplicity of the Coleman but don't miss putting one down in the rain. I also don't miss the cold weather camping in it either.

Nice, the TTs aren't as handy to tow, but it sure is nice to pull in and be camping faster in most sites than with either of our popups.
You screw up & get tossed outta the house, you'll be glad you have it lol

Same issue here... moved from a HW pup to a hybrid. Kids getting older and now we have grand children. Decided to go with a permanent site. Sold the hybrid, and not I have a 35' camper... It's nice especially with the grand kids, but this winter I wanted to get another pup... I found an awesome deal on a 2001 Starcraft Constellation. My son went with me to pick it up and talked me out of buying it... so he could buy it... He said I can borrow it... for a fee...

IS that over 26ft? Looks like a nice size. Any bigger and we'd miss out on State Parks spots and other smaller places. We have a 25ft and love it.

Those Grand Designs are really nice, my parents have a Reflection 5th wheel which they are very happy with. The fit and finish on them is very nice, and they make very efficient use of the space.
