Outfitter owners, what are your rough estimates on the value of a 2003 Outfitter Apex 9.5, this is the version with the north/south queen cab over bed, has awnings on both sides and the back, generator, solar system, happy jack turn buckles included and all the standard features. The camper is in excellent shape, no known issues...... just looking for opinions on approximate value, I have seen 2006 9.5 's going for $17,000.

Priceless...Are you thinking about selling it to OUTFITTER or to a third-party? If you are planning on selling it to a third-party, I would contact Bob or Brian at OUTFITTER and let them opine on it.

I'm buying from a private seller, price seems very very good but I just wanted opinions before I say how much.

They were not in the bluebook last time I looked. Makes them hard to value. SkipJ

Testudo is right; If you can get the serial number from the present owner call Bob at Outfitter and ask about which options were included with that camper. My serial number is located on the back outside wall. This will help you put a value on the camper. Ask Bob what he thinks it is worth...Good luck :B

....for what it's worth: we've been offered up to $15.5k for our 2005.5 Caribou 8 (no furnace, no air conditioner, no bathroom) cash here in the "Far East"; just a split-hair less than we paid for it (8 years ago!). But we are NOT planning on selling it (as I sit here in the torrential/pouring rain in the Caribou 8 (soon to turn to snow!) as dry as a scorpion in the Atacama desert, planning a trail construction crew Op. on a rain-drenched mountain-side).I would hazard a guess at about $17k, perhaps $16k at the lower end.If the right party sees it (in the East for example), they will pay a premium just because they won't need to spend many $ thousands going out West to cut a factory deal, then to pick it up at delivery (2 trips) !Silver-

Be patient, some times it took 2 days for me to get a reply to my e-mails, he mentioned something about a sick mother or mother in law they were dealing with. His phone number was blocked when he finally called me so I never got it.

If you can fix it if you could get it home make an offer that the seller haul it to your place on his truck. Pay for his expenses and a little for his time and have him haul it to your place and then you can work on it till you can make it fit your truck.

Isn't that a fairly simple solution if you really like and want this camper I'm sure you can make it happen.

Why do I envision a mad dash by hundreds here to Detroit?! Hey, bolt it to a trailer and call it your second home. That price is insane...

Unfortunalty its more than just the radius, the lower 8 inches of the lift gate opening tapers inboard (as shown in my photo)even before it gets down to the radius. We raised the camper up 4 inches with 4x4's and it still would not clear. I agree I could make it happen if it was at my home but the camper is 85 miles away and I can't even load it to get it home to work on it.

This is quite common, just use some plywood in the bottom of your bed to raise the camper above that curved area of your bed. There have been a lot of people that have done that on here. It sounds like a once in a life time buy, I would see if you can't make it fit if you really want it.

LOL, he wanted to swap trucks with me, his truck is a 2006 1 ton duramax with 160,000 miles on it. This setup has been out west many times and I think he said alaska 2 times.

He told me the local RV dealer would try to sell it on consignment but only guarantee him $3000 and I think he said the guys at outfitter would sell it for $10,000 if they had it in stock.

The owner is very close to donating it to charity for the $3500 write off, he just doesn't care for the whole selling process and he said he just wants a quick sale.

I would buy it right now and use the money I saved to buy a used truck that fits! ;)

Damn that one should sell fast, the price seems way to low.
