Got a new to me pop up

[giff]

I am in the process of fixing up our first camper, a 1993 Jayco Eagle 10.  We have 4 kids and know it will be a tight fit but can't wait to get her done, new canvas, etc.
 
OK here is the cool part, I was going to my parents for Easter last Sunday and saw a Coleman in a driveway in town with a for sale sign on it.  I told my daughter that was a "Coleman", and those are REALLY nice campers!  Two days ago I was in town and decided to take a look at it with my two youngest boys.  The owner had not put it out by the road yet to sell it.  I went to check it out and it was a 2000 Coleman Niagara Elite.  I was like drooling on this thing and was just stopping by to see what it was....nothing more :p .  Well the owner tells me he and his wife bought it off of the original owner who only used it one time.  He said they used it a few times a year and only two times last year.  He then told me the first $3000.00 takes it.  I  almost hit the ground, I think my knees started to buckle :eyecrazy: .  So I go home tell the wife and she is like lets check it out.  We went back today and looked it over real close, opened it up and went over it all.... needless to say for that price we grabbed it.
 
Wow I own a Coleman Niagara.... I still can't believe it.  It only had a few inches to spare in the garage.  I keep going out and just looking at it...  Cannot wait to camp.  Only problems it had were a small tear in the plastic for one window at the edge and a little water got into the front of the trunk.

Now I gotta figure out how to change my avatar to Coleman

Coleman niagra...that is my dream camper....someday...someday...(smile)..We just bought a used Jayco Jay series and have it at the dealers for a facelift.  I should get it back next week.  We plan to use it for 2 years and then give it to one of the kids, and get what we want.  The price was right, and we couldnt pass it up.  Congratulations, you are the envy of the pop up world right now!  I am happy for you and your family.....!
