Looking to buy, but don't have much knowledge
So my wife and I own a pop up but are thinking of upgrading to something with a little more space and a little more strudy. I am looking to stay under 23 feet and 4500 dollars. I've seen a few 2003 Ae...

You might find an older hybrid in the price you are looking for, but if it really is a solid camper it will sell for more just because it's in good shape.
I drove for several hours to look at a hybrid that was only $3500 and supposedly in good shape. In reality it was a basket case that would have needed a lot of work to fix. It had leaked in several spots that the owner said was no big deal...maybe not to him. Once I had a look, i noticed the floor was about as firm as the one in a bouncy house and the front bunk was probably unsafe to sleep on as there was nothing solid about it anymore.
I ended up spending more on my 2005 current hybrid, but it truly is solid. The previous owners had maintained the caulking, replaced the tires and kept it clean. It has zero water damage and aside from some faded decals isn't a whole lot different than it was when it drove off the lot.
I was willing to pay a little more for the peace of mind knowing I had trailer I wouldn't spend more time fixing than camping in.
