For over a year, my husband and I have been wanting to buy a popup camper. We thought, "What a great way to create memories with the kids!" So last May, we put our boat (A 1973 Starcraft) up for sale. We were going to take the money and buy a popup. Well, we had many lookers, but no takers. I was relieved, because I didn't want to get rid of the boat. We had already made tons of memories in that and wasn't ready to let it go!
Fast forward a year...We still are talking popup, but financially we are in a different place. You see last year, we had to sell the boat in order to even think of buying something else. But, during the last year, we have seen God bless my husband's business way above what we could think. So, we started looking again, thinking to purchase one for about $1200-$1500.
Last week, we hit the jackpot. (Or the jackpot to us anyway!) My husband found a 70 something man who was selling his 1973 Starcraft popup for $950! My husband being the wheeler dealer he is tried to get it for less...He got it for $900. A 1973 popup may not sound great to some, but this man cared for this thing. I mean, he kept it pristine, mechanically and asthetically. He was a great steward of his things, and our family gets the benefit.
We are camping tomorrow night...We are all really excited. This thing has 2 double beds, a table, a sink and a propane gas stove. I will try to post pix later....
