Default My new $200 rolling deer camp

What a swingin' deal. I saw this camper listed on craigslist for $700. I'm the only person that went and looked at it in 1 1/2 months. I need a camper for my new east Tx deer camp so I figured I might as well look. I sure can't afford a new one. When I got there I was pleasantly surprised by the overall condition. The canvas however has seen better days. This is a 1976 year model camper. There were some patches and tears in the canvas. I mentioned this a few times in preparation for price negotiations. When I got to a stuck zipper I had trouble opening, the owners daughter asked me if I would pay $200. I wasted no time with an affirmative response. Sleeps 6,(really good friends), has WORKING 3 burner stove, gas furnace, microwave, electric fridge. There is no rot, mold, or mildew. There is also an outdoor shower/potty enclosure with a portapot. This was a deal I couldn't pass on. I bought a couple of tarps to hang over the slide outs just in case and I have some really good patch tape for the tears. I have MAD negotiating skills lol!

Nice grab. You'll get our money's worth out of that one.

Good buy Greg.....That will work out nicely for the camp....Does your wife go hunting with you??? That might be why she didn't get mad, she too has a place to sleep...
