I hate shopping for anything cause it ends up hurting my head!

We of course don't have the money to buy what we really want and trying to find what we can afford is so hard to sort through....... in the end it seems like we can only get something someone else is tired of themselves!

Anyway I'm just venting................ its a bummer shopping for these things! :(

Well don't give up.  We just got a new to us trailer after many a day on Craigslist, recycler,pennysaver, rvtrader, and one failed purchase, only to find our perfect trailer right here on this site from a SCCamper member.

Remember that just because someone else is tired of it doesn't mean it isn't perfect for you.

This is a good time to look for a trailer, with many selling at the end of the season to move up to something else.

Also there is a RV show in Pomona in OCt.  We plan to go just to look around and check out how the other half lives.

DON"T GIVE UP!

Hey Gracy...You just need to relax.  :sombraro:

Remember, you're after something that will ultimately lead to fun times and great family memories. Relax and enjoy the ride. Try not to put so much importance on it. The best time to buy anything is when you don't need it. Then you can relax, take your time and bargain shop away.

I saw your other post on the camper you're considering. You mentioned that you're already planning to pass on it, which tells me you DONT HAVE TO HAVE IT. This will help you be objective and not so emotional. I'd suggest at least going to take a look at it. Maybe it's in great condition...maybe it's not. At least you'll have more information when trying to make your decision.

I can also guarantee that you will almost always find a better deal later. You just have to accept that. Do the best you can and BE HAPPY.  :D
Of course, stay within your budget.

So even if you are stressed...convince yourself you're not, and relax, and enjoy.

Good luck! Hope it works out.

Thanks guys!  I know what your sayin.... *sigh* we just seem to have champaign taste on a tap water budget! hahah! :P

We found 2 absolutely beautiful ones on craigslist but they are both over our budget by quite a bit so it makes it hard to look for something less when you have your hopes up for so much more!  Everything looks like poop in comparison!

Anyway.... we have something now and it works for our family so of course we'll be fine... your right... I just need to relax ;)  Thanks (((HUGS)))

Well the way I see it you and your family seem to enjoy the PUP you have now, Everyone wants better but you have the best start that one could have, Look at your pictures, you have family memories camping with family and friends.Take your time NOBODY will view you by your trailer, but by your family values and that is was count's.

Gracy, I agree 100% with what dkutz, waygard33 and oreo57 have posted. Have fun with your search, when the right camper comes along you'll know it and you'll buy it. But for now relax and enjoy what you have and continue to create memories with your family with the pop up you have right now.

Live in the moment, take a deep breath and enjoy the family time and the camping experiences your pop up provides for you. Remember there's someone out there that would love to have what you have except it may be out of their reach financially.

Good Luck
