re: Purchasing A Camper

I haven't had problems with my slides leaking but i do keep it under a cover when not in use so that really helps the roof and seals stay in decent shape. Biggest drawback to the slides is getting around inside the camper when they are in. On my 5th wheel i can't get to the back bedroom when the slides are closed. My aunt had a 27' puma that had a set of bunks in the rear inset next to the bathroom and a queen bed up front it also had the dinette and sofa on a slide. Pretty nice layout. I think that trailer came in around 7k lbs. Haven't price campers in a few years since mine is a 2009 but you should be able to get into something decent for mid $20's new and with the financing they do your note should be sub $200/month. They typically do 15yr financing on anything over $20k.
