How to Buy an Inexpensive Popup Camper

It's fall and this is the beginning of the best time to get a deal on a pop up camper. Read my article below on how to buy an inexpensive pop up camper.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Computer
• Internet
• Comfy chair
• Phone
• Newspaper
• Patience

1. Buy at the right time. Prices on pop up campers drop considerably starting in October and stay low until March, normally hitting the year end low from December to February. You will be very surprised at the deals you can get in the colder months.

2. Know what you want but be brand flexible. Do your research to get an idea of the features you want (the internet is a great tool for this) but try not to get locked into a certain brand of pop up camper. Some brands are more inexpensive then others but are still good quality campers.

3. Buy used. You can get a really great used pop up camper for the fraction of the price on a new one. And since pop ups in most areas are normally only used seasonally, chances are a used one really hasn't been used all that much!

4. If you are handy or know someone that is, consider a handy man special. Some campers that need moderate to much work you can pick up for under $100 or even free!

5. Use and all resources available to you on your search. Buy newspapers, RV trader magazines, use the internet to look at classified ads, check message boards at local stores, ask around, etc

6. Be patient. Don't just jump on the first pop up you find. Keep searching until you find one with the features you want with the price that you are looking for.

Tips & Warnings

• Be aware that a pop up that needs a new canvas can cost you more in the long run than one that needs some structural work done. Canvas for pop up campers normally start at $800 and go up from there.
