Local Search Tips

• 1). Peruse your local newspaper classified ads and any trade magazines in the area. Many used pop-up campers are found through this simple method. Buying local makes looking at it easier.
  
  
• 2). Visit your local campgrounds on the weekends when it is busy and ask around. People who camp at these locations can sometimes let you in on deals that are unadvertised. Occasionally, there are pop-up campers with "for sale" signs at the campground as well.
  
  
• 3). Look around as you go about your daily life for pop-up campers for sale in yards and garages. The best deals are sometimes found by accident in this manner.
  
  
• 4). Visit the local camper dealerships in the area. Even though many of these dealerships specialize in RV sales, you can still find the occasional bargain on pop-up campers. They can also refer you to others that might sell old pop-ups after buying new RVs.
  
  
• 5). Reach out to friends and family for anyone that might be selling a pop-up camper. If you are lucky enough to find someone, you may get it cheaper than you would from a stranger.
  
  

Take Your Search Online

• 1). Visit popular websites for pop-up camper sales such as CampingWorld.com. These websites are great for finding excellent bargains from people who are familiar with campers. They are also good for learning about what to look for when buying a pop-up camper.
  
  
• 2). Consider visiting Ebay.com and Craigslist.com as a resource, but do so with caution. While these are excellent resources to find a bargain, they can also be more risky. Take the time to research any and all bids, and only go with those campers you can see in person before you buy.
  
  
• 3). Post your own classified ad on-line, stating your interest in buying an inexpensive pop-up camper. Sometimes it is easier to let the sellers come to you.
