We bought our first camper used in April. We had set out on what we wanted, bunk house with slide and sub 5k. Found a very clean one a few hours away. The trailer had very few road miles on it, probably less than 5,000. It still had original tires on it from 2000 as he camped a few times a year 6 mile from his house. We bought it knowing we would re-do the flooring/interior (we like doing those types of thing) since the era we were buying in had hideous colors across the board. I'm extremely happy with the purchase knowing we owe nothing and it was probably at the bottom of the spectrum for depreciation. Will I buy new someday, who knows? All I know is, is that I love it and can't use it enough. It's already paid for itself for the amount of times we've use it this year. I HATE putting it away after a trip and will really be sad the day I have to winterize :(
