My lovely wife has had an emotional attachment to EVERY SINGLE CAMPER we've owned, swearing that she'd never want another, that it was the perfect camper, that we couldn't possibly let it go... Well, after I find a new unit that actually does fit us perfectly at THAT time, she's hanging up the for sale sign and can't wait to commit to the purchase of the new one with down payment afforded by sale of the last!
Point being, you'll always remember the great memories with your old camper, and really fall in love with the new one and make new memories, especially with new campers joining you! Just make sure you pick a new unit that really appeals to you and you'll be a Happy Camper all over again!
Enjoy!
P.S. - At 9 years old, it falls into what has been the traditional timeframe for out with the old, in with the new for campers! Eight to ten years was the typical for "rolling" campers (i.e., actually used to travel and not parked as seasonals) until just recently with the mass growth in the market and resurgence in camping. Long-winded point being, you should be able to get a fair price for it if clean, everything working, and you sell privately. I'd start advertising it! Good luck.
