I am looking to boondock and really don't need a lot of creature comforts (plus they just add weight). Ideally, I'd like to get a used camper that has depreciated ~30-50% of its value. Seems like maintenance is the key. If you find someone that really kept up on everything an OLD NL or Bigfoot would be great.
