LOL, YOU ROCK!!!   That is so freaking funny!  I love your sense of humor as well as being a realist!!   Not bad for a youngster. At least younger than me,LOL

So I take it the 94 Coleman was not made out to be worth the asking price!

Nope, it was just a HUGE waste of gas money. He wanted WAY too much, and it was far from the pristine condition he advertised it as.  However, he had a long list of people to call after we left, so someone probably allowed themselves to be taken as a sucker. We'll probably get the '07 Palomino Yearling. When the dealer found out we were losing interest, he dropped to his knees and is now offering us a great deal!

Hopefully my post will help others who haven't bothered to research before they look. If I had the time, I'd post that in every craiglist rv section that I could.

If I get any emails from my post, I'll post them here.  Hehehe!

I see Craigslist removed your msge. That sux.  Check this one out asap. this might be a pretty good deal especially if you can get it for $4000 :-()

Coleman by Fleetwood, Blue Ridge model, two king size beds, sleeps 8-10, Roof heat and AC, Refrig, Stove, Sink, Awning, Brakes, Spare, Lots of storage, Crank down stabilizers.

Now I'm just getting mad. Why on earth was that flagged? It was friendly info that applied to every person posting an rv for sale or looking for one.

[spicyville1]

Not sure why it was removed. They have their policies I am sure. Most of the time it is autogenerated so no human really removes the ads. You go get that new camper girl, make the salesman drop another 250-500 off his counteroffer and take those kiddos camping this weekend with or without DH!!   :tent:  :#  :!

Okay, so I toned it down and took out the direct link. Here's the new Disney version. Let's see how long this one stays up.

I do agree with what you are saying here. You get what you can AFFORD to pay for, those individuals you are referencing find that out. She has the money, just tired of looking at pups at 4k+ that are not worth half that much.

For $4,000 the rear end bunk rails are most likely bent.  The support poles touch the ground.  They are not supposed to be able to do that. :p

Pretty sure they were lazy and did that just to open the camper and take the pic

Someone posted this today on craigslist in response to my friendly info. They didn't email me personally, sounds like a seller.

LOL ,interesting but in a sense true.

It really is a case of 'buyer beware' - especially in used campers, it pays to do your research - and be patient.  

campers can vary so much in condition - and some people
can do some remarkably stupid things to their campers.... and then feel no remorse in selling off their damaged equipment to some poor unsuspecting person.  

NADA and other similar sites at least give someone a starting point to work up or down from.

I've seen 30 yr old PUPs and other campers in pristine, garage-kept condition that were worth much more than newer ones with all the bells and whistles that have been neglected or abused.  It's really difficult to put a price on condition- even if you have done research or restoration work previously.
