The best used camper is the one that is for sale, is close enough that you're willing to drive to get it, in a condition that you find acceptable, at a price that you find acceptable.
Otherwise you're just limiting yourself to what could be a potentially futile search for one or two specific models that may not meet the above criteria.

I don't agree with that. I won't buy a camper just because its close, in good shape and on sale, but rather one that works for me with the layout is what matters to me. I would drive farther and spend a little more to get one with a floor plan that I want instead of settling for one that is going to anoy me for years to come. I don;t chace a spicific model but rather floor plan and storage compartment setup. I started out looking at one and saying thats what I want and have since found 4 other brands that have models that are simular so now I am waiting for one of 5 to be on sale when I am ready to upgrade in the fall.

LOL, soooo, you actually do agree with mkirsch. He didn't say if had to be close... just close enough that you'd go get it.
yes and no, I don't care how far it is, I would drive to florada from canada to get one I liked it if was worth it. I guess the willing to drive part makes that same thing, but the only criteria I have is the floor plan and if it works for us. I bought a old one for cheep, just to see if the wife liked it. few things we don't like now that we have used it but we love having the camper, so now we are looking at a newer one. and don't get me wrong price is important which is why I probably won't end up with a brand new unit, 80-90K here for the artic fox I was looking at, same for bigfoot and northren light.
