My parents currently have a 2007 Keystone Mountaineer with 2 slides, and its pretty roomy. Our motor homes when I was a kid never had a slide and felt cramped, so I can deal with a couple hundred pounds for more room.
We live in the south east, and will go to the beach a little, maybe to the app mountains, and prob out to our nearby lake campgrounds and for us about the camping experience for the kids.
We want to start camping as soon as this winter or spring with the kids, but honestly I have a 1 car payment rule, and we have 2.6 yrs left on our van, and so wont buy a truck till after. I'll pay cash for the camper in this price range, but again don't want a problem. We both work, two kids, I have a rental property, so don't have time for a bunch of trouble. Storage might not be in my yard, working that out, as our yard is fairly small.
I started looking at a 2010 Jayfeather no slides, 2 end bunk flip outs, wanting over 7000. Then found this 2007 Coyote with 3 flip bunks and about $6000. Havn't been looking long enough to know how rare these are, or if this age means bunks leak, do I have to spray them, cover them,replace them? The 2010 is 2 hour drive, then 2007 is an 8 hour drive. Really like the one I saw online that had 3 bunks and a slide out sofa, and i think it was around 8-9000, and a 9 hour drive.
