Used TC advice

Also private kijiji in each province in Canada will find alot of used stuff

Look in western Canada. Their $$ has tanked and there are come real bargains.

Insulated units like the General Coach Citation.

You can use the craigslist app for the search in the western provinces.

There is one for sale now in Vancouver for ~$12kC or $9kUS

TxGearhead, where about in Texas do you live? Before you go off spinning your wheels on a two thousand mile journey looking for either a new or used truck camper, why don't you give Princess Craft RV a call. They are the largest truck camper dealership in Texas with all kinds of different makes and models new and used to choose from. They're located at 3101 North IH35 in Round Rock, TX and the telephone number is 800-338-7123. Go online at www.princesscraft.com to see what they have in stock that you would be interested in. If you go over there ask to see PJ and she'll be happy to show you around her place of business. She has a wonderful dealership with an outstanding service department.

Call Mike Jones in southwest Ohio if you're looking for a new or used Northern-Lite. He currently has two new units that would fit in your truck along with a used 2012 unit.

All good info. Thanks. I'm looking for something about 2,500# dry. Figure add 1,000# for stuff, and leave some breathing room.
I called on a Northern Lite today in CA. They had the listing info all wrong. I just don't want to go on a 2,000 mile wild goose chase.
I'm not a RV guru but I think I can do a basic PDI and spot water damage.
I haven't checked Craigs or ebay. Will go there as well.
Thanks again.

Gearhead,
Welcome to the TC forum.
1. Widen your search area out about 1200 miles. Further north by west from your locale is fertile ground.
2. If you find a suitable prospect, take an RV/TC guru along to inspect same, unless you R one.
3. If you find one and it looks good from far, make sure you have the tie down situation figured out before leaving home.
4. Look for a TC that is below, maybe well below, your payload rating.
You notice the advice above is all from someone on the West Coast.

Craiglist. SF Bay area had tons of them when I was looking for mine. I got a sweet deal on a two year old Lance 1055 that originally sold in the 30K range for 20k in mint condition.

Take a trip to the Northwest or look in the Northwest. We have plenty. The normal sites apply: Rvtrader, Craigslist, Ebay, and even Youtube.

Do understand how to inspect a RV to look for potential problems.
