my wife and I had a chat about owning campers not so long ago. We are still young mid 20's and still have many many years of camping left. after two major issues with used campers (2003 and 2004) model years I bit the bullet and bought a brand new Laredo, and vowed to never buy another used camper "not saying new ones don't come without their bugs" We decided that it dosent financially make sense to pay off to own these units, make enough of the monthly payments to break even when you go to sell when you decide you need an upgrade and just move into a new unit. At the cost of 220$ a month for a brand new unit you cant go wrong they make them very affordable. When we start having kids we will very likely move on again.
