What would it take?

What would it take to get you to buy a different camper?

A big raise!!!! Or winning the lottery. I like what I got but have been looking at 5ers.

It would take me having more money than I knew what to do with. I have learned some lessons about camping and campers the last few years. I am very happy with the camper I have.. and I am in it ($$ wise) right. Sure I would like to have something bigger and with more bells and whistles (and a slide out).. but the things I like most about camping.. friends, campfire conversation.. and a few cold beers.. are the same, no matter what kind of camper I have.

That Ecoboost will get you thinking about 5ers

I'm fine with what we have. Just wish we didn't have to do the expensive upgrade dance to get there.

I'm holding out for Dave and Darlene's Hybrid. So far I've done well in the world of second hand from club members. I really like the way the Kral Family maintain's their stuff. Even if they put their name on it, I can add a C at the end and pretend it's just my name backwards!

I just got it C with Kral at the end to cute. When we do upgrade its here when the time comes my friend.

When thinking about a different camper, I would like one with a bedroom. Maybe after next year we should think about looking, but it want take much (I'm ready). Why I ask, because when we sell this one, that cash will go to another one as long as the remaining amount is saved up. When you think about buying again think about what you want to spend and start saving a little at a time, this goes for just about anything you purchase. You will know when the time is right. We do love this camper and we do enjoy the camping feel when we pull it out of the driveway..Happy camping

For Jennifer and I it would take finding an RV we like more than ours with what we have in ours. We have gone to several shows over the years and have found we may find one we like better than ours but at 60k plus I would hope it would be preferable. So with all that said we keep or 5ver . I know a day will come when we trade but for now I am just getting ours where we like it. Now it we can just get it out here in Colorado. For those that don't know my truck was stolen in Knoxville this past Jan 2012. Nothing was found.

Definately a separate bedroom, larger bathroom with sink and shower...we found one we might go look at this weekend, used at a good price. Its the model we've been eyeing for a couple of years only could'nt afford it new. Most likely cant afford it now but never hurts to look

Well we looked and really liked what we saw....asking price was fair retail too unfortuately we would have to sell ours first and its winter so thats pretty much a no go....I dont think trading it in would be cost efficient but according to the nada book ours is valued more (high retail value) that what we paid for it OTD ....prices have gone way up....Im not sure exactly what to look for in a used travel trailer besides the obvious..going from a small 14ft to a 25ft theres alot to consider..has anyone had any experience buying used besides Chucks fantastic deal??

one thing I did.. and I am glad I did. I looked at my camper, on the dealers lot.. right after two or three days of hard rain. I used a flashlight and looked up under every cabinet.. all around the inside where roof and wall joined together. I am really concerned about leaks. Mine was just a couple years old.. but I still checked for leaks. I think every camper will have a leak sometime.. hopefully its several years down the road. I would still have bought this camper (even with a roof leak).. but I would have made sure the dealer paid for the repair.. not me.
