Since you aren't in a rush to buy, you can be selective and wait for the right one to come along. Its all about the condition. No matter how perfect the layout or how low the price, you want to pass on anything that may have water damage or just an overall lack of upkeep. Hidden problems can cost you a fortune.
And we also had a Coleman popup. That things was bulletproof. Just never had any issues. Too bad they are gone. Seems like all the new units today are built with light weight and low price in mind, with quality and longevity as an after thought.
