Looking at a 1994 Lance Squire 3000 Camper
I've been shopping for truck campers off and on and came across what looks to be a really clean '94 Lance Squire 3000 camper on Craigslist. It's a long bed camper, but I'd be hauling it on my '96 F25...

Manual jacks, for that price point it should atleast have electric jacks. I wouldn't pay more than $3000 for it. I would ask for receipts or records of when maintenance was done on it, especially the roof.
It looks nice but I look at that window in the front and wonder if it has been caulked every year, actually that goes for the entire camper, one of the fun things when buying a used camper. Get some eyes on it and go over it with a fine toothed comb, check the roof especially make sure it has no soft spots and if it has an EPDM roof does it have black pitting?
I will definitely be asking to see proof of maintenance and will go over everything with a critical eye. After getting burned twice with used trailers with water damage I gave up and bought new, but at least now I know exactly what to look for and where the weak spots are. According to the Lance brochure from '94, all their campers were still using aluminum roofs. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not...
