Truck Campers Ain't For Everyone

I was in a large truck camper dealer last week and noticed a brand new (looking) 11' 6" TC on their lot marked "Used". He told me someone had bought it two weeks before, keep it 9 days and returned it for a 5th wheel.

    That happens more than one would think..My dad bought a brand new 9ft SC pickup camper and put it on his brand new 3/4 ton International Harvester(very heavy duty) and did not like the way it road and traded to a Class C.

    Not nearly as bad as the 1 yr old $500k Class A MH you see for sale.

    The minute they drive off the lot, they lost more than this guy paid for both the truck and camper.


    There are a lot of the class A's for sale on line. 2,000 kilometers is high for them :h

    I bet they had too small of a truck. Dealer gave him his money back and didn't take much off the fifth.


    Do you mean they pleaded the fifth?? (Lol)
  • But, how much was the dealer asking for the 'used nine days' TC?

    Ouch, on the sudden depreciation factor, but everybody has to pick their own poison- lol
