How do I know how much to pay for a used TC?
I'm looking at a 2013 Arctic Fox 992, seems in great condition asking $28k. How do I go about finding the right price for that, or any other TC?

As someone who is prone to rushing into buying things once I get my mind set on it, I'm not the best negotiator when it comes to wheeling and dealing. To compensate for this failing, I set my search based off of the top dollar I'm willing to pay for the model and features I want. I hate it when people nickle and dime me when I sell something so I don't nickle and dime people when I'm trying to buy something. When I respond to an ad, it is because I am prepared to offer the asking price assuming the condition of the item is represented accurately.
I may have missed it but are you paying cash or will you be financing? I'm not certain I would pay cash for a camper that new and for that much, you would probably be better of looking at brand new campers and just financing the purchase. The difference in payment between this used one and a new one is probably going to be within about $50 a month and the warranty on the new one could easily save you that much.
If you are paying cash and price is a significant factor, I would take a look again at even older campers at lower price points. When it comes down to it, the new "features" that manufacturers add year to year are generally cosmetic or superficial and likely possible to add to older models with a bit of elbow grease and some money.
