So now my 7 and 9 yr. old kids are happy and ready to go camping, worked for me with a little extra work !!! :cowboy:
Almost two weeks ago we bought a 1995 Starcraft/Starflyer 1021 for $1500.00 fully loaded with everything: pots, pans, electric fryer, programable coffee maker, ceramic heater, sheets, blankets, pillows, dishes, cups, silverware, playing cards, note pads and pens, first aid kit, cords. It is in good shape. Evidence of a water leak from the first owner (we are the third owner) which was fixed. Canvas and windows in good shape. It only had a small tear on the bed upholstery (which I have already patched).
We thought at first she "took us" because the door wouldn't close all the way and she said it was because the camper wasn't balanced. When we got it home and balanced it the door still wouldn't close. We discovered the top wasn't going all the way up. A new winch is $435...ouch!!! But praise the Lord my husband is a wonderful fix-it man and he was able to make it work without getting a new winch. So I would say we got a good deal.

You have a Daughter?
Actually an expecting daughter due date the same weekend as the PUP rally... She has camped with us down at Koreshan and might be joining us now that they have their own camper which is still in our garage! ::)
My first post as well. Just picked up my first N2U PU a 99 Starcraft Starmaster Field & Stream Edition that was in pristine condition. We are the 3rd owners but it had always been garage stored and perfect canvase and interior, newer tires, and it came with a add a room for the awning. found it on CL was the first caller, he wanted $3,500 but took $3,100. We liked the floor plan and the DW liked the cassette tolite/ shower. Can't wait to get it out.
Big Baron,
All I know from the title is that is was in the MN Twin City Metro, the salvage dealer said that it came from the original owner who used it very little. When we looked at it at the salvage dealer, it was pretty much new inside. Whoever had it probably had it parked and turned it in for insurance. I am aware of the storm in the Metro that did the damage.
All I care about is that I got what I wanted. DH came home from work earlier that week and said that everyone else on the project was going away for the weekend. He asked if I wanted to go camping on the South Shore of Lake Superior and we should buy a camper. Two days later I found ours on Craigslist, it was the second one that we had looked at. I had been planting the idea in him for a couple of years. He finally came around to it.
A year ago, we found a 2005 Fleetwood Victory (7 y/o at the time) on CL. It is in immaculate condition inside and has always been garage stored. It has cassette toilet, shower, stove, sink, queen and double bunks, exterior storage bin, gas tank, outside grill, awning, and boo-COOs of stuff inside (7-8 virtually new pots and pans, all the utensils, 8 x 12' matt, 20' 30 amp extension cord ($$$) gizmos, white hoze, 15 gal graywater tank, and a box FULL of misc hose connectors, water filter, pressure regulator, etc) all for $5500.
We bought our pup (in 2006) for $13000 used, it was a 2004 Palomino Mustang... after 5 years of camping in that we traded it in on a 2005 Outback 21RS.. got $4500 in trade and paid an extra $8000 for the Outback.. Two years into treller number two and we are enjoy it even more... with the newer truck (2012 Ram) we know someday we will change trellers again, not sure if we'll go to a 5'er or stay with a bumper pull, not sure if we'll get another "family" type treller or get a "couples" treller, which ever way we go it will be bought used as well....
