So my wife has been on me about not working all the time so much and doing more fun things with the kids. We think we have decided to buy a camper. Not so much for long trips. We only live five miles from a nice little lake, and I know going there to spend a night and do a little fishing once every couple weeks would be the best thing in the world to the little ones. I don't know jack squat about campers. Want something not to pricy as we aren't going to pull it a long ways. Don't want a piece of crap either. What does a person need to look for when buying an older camper?
 
I worked @ Peterson Industries in Smith Center, KS, one winter a lifetime ago, it seems. Legacy & Knoble Esquire were the two top trailers we made. I was there long enough to decide I NEVER would own any travel trailer. High priced junk is what they were.

That being said, if I was forced to own one, it would have to be from Peterson Industries. Their crap was still better than the crap their competitors put out.

Buy an old school bus and pimp it out.

That's why I am buying an old one. From what I have looked at one the internet, a camper is a bad investment, You might as well plan on keeping it till you die, cause it's not worth jack ten years down the road. As for the bus, one of our friends already done that don't want to be a copycat. :-)
 
we live just 5 miles from a nice lake... my opinion, camping is a pain in the butt... go spend the day at the lake, fish swim boat, then go home and sleep in your own bed...take the money for a camper, and invest in a nice boat

Or do what Jiggsy actually did - took the saved money and bought season Husker tickets.
