Newbie looking for a used pop up truck camper. Needs to fit a F250 CC with a 6.5 bed.

Prefer:

- Four Wheel Campers (FWC) Hawk
- All Terrain Camper
- Northstar TC 650
- Hallmark
- others

PM if you have one to sell or know of one available!

I'm ready to buy for a trip planned this fall.

Thanks!!
 
Ski3pin searches all of Craigslist for all the popup campers you mention, and posts here regularly. That is by far your best bet. Have cash on hand and be ready to pounce.

Your "luck" in finding a camper will also have some geographic limitations. Older FWC's (70's, 80's, up to mid 90's) are found in high numbers in Colorado. Newer FWC's are found in higher numbers in California. This has to do with the physical location of the factories (FWC was based in Colorado) and the fact that FWC has an extremely limited dealer network, so primarily sells factory direct to locals.

Used All Terrains seldom pop up as they are more recent. Some ATC owners who want to sell post in the Used Gear Section here.

Drive around your area. I have come across pop up campers for sale in peoples driveways and yards. Obviously search Craigslist in your area daily. Lastly, consider a shell and build it out yourself.
 
Thanks for the advice! All good points. I've located a FWC close enough (8 hr drive) but it's more than I wanted to spend. Contemplating my options! :oops:
 
Also, make sure your rig is ready. Have the eye bolts installed, air bags/suspension (if needed), etc. The camper I bought didn't have jacks so I had to rent them (cable jacks) and take them with me so make sure you have a source for them. I had a day to get and pick up the camper I wanted otherwise it would have gone to someone else (although there were some extenuating circumstances for the seller).

Contemplate to long long and it will be gone. Any good pop-ups at a fair price go fast. I sold my 2002 Hawk in one day to the first person who looked at it.

Bill - that's where I'm struggleing. How do you determine a 'fair' price for a used FWC Hawk.

What should I be willing to pay for say a nice 2005 - 2007 Hawk?

Feel free to PM me your thoughts if my question isnt appropriate for a public forum. I'm just not sure what these things are worth? I'm seeing prices all over the place and most are not willing to negotiate much at all. If any! I don't want to over pay and regret it later.

Thanks!
 
two more cents worth. important to pick out the options you want, that can rule out some. if there is more on the list so be it.
write down what you see, ie year, options, $. and you will get a good idea of pricing. of course there is the travel cost.
no matter what you do after buying one the guy next door will have one for sale, never fails...................
 
I used searchtempest.com to find ours. It now searches all sort of places if you let it, I narrowed it down to just CL. I was also checking Ski's thread daily.
 
I am selling a 2008 hallmark made for a 6.5 foot pick-up. My name is Russ and I have a posting on gear exchange in the website.
