WTB: Older or fairly inexpensive truck camper *FOUND ONE*

[Snaves]

Looking for our first truck camper! We just got married and are buying a house, so have a limited budget at the moment. Looking for an older FWC or Skamp pop up. Would entertain long or short bed options but our ride is an F-250 with a 6.5 ft. bed. Fairly handy and don't mind putting some work into fixing something up a bit, but the ideal rig would have canvas that is in decent shape. Thanks all!

Hi Snaves, welcome to WTW!

In addition to our gear exchange, a good tool to find campers is SearchTempest.com. It’s a web crawler that is specific to craigslist.

I suggest you also put ATC campers on your list as well. Great campers, with a great small company behind them.

ATC also does quality and affordable repairs on older FWC campers.

Good luck on your search.

Thanks everyone for the help during this process. We found an older model granby (maybe a ranger?), and are really excited about it. May be looking for help getting it set up/wiring in the next few weeks!

Congratulations on finding a camper. The fun is just beginning. For me, fixing up the camper was/is almost as much fun as using it.
