As total newbies 20 yrs ago the first popup DW & I owned was a 1998 Jayco Eagle 10UD that had been purchased brand new by the original owner who used it just 4 times until his wife declared that her idea of a vacation was at a Hilton Hotel, not a dusty campground. :p We purchased it that fall for 2/3rds of it's original selling price, he stored it in his garage that winter for us, and the next season we towed it 5000 miles and camped 40 nights, including a trip to Myrtle Beach. :) At the end of that first season we had a far better idea what we wanted in a camper and sold the Jayco for $600 more than we had paid for it to new owners who were likewise thrilled to find a mint condition popup for thousands less than a new one. :B There are some good deals out there if you're persistent enough to take the time to look. ;)
