I bought a $350 Camper off of Facebook Marketplace

I’m sorry about the music. Must have been the headphones I was using while editing. Didn’t think it would bother people this much. There are subtitles if you’re having trouble hearing. (Just click the CC button on the screen) I sadly can’t take out the music after the fact so please try to not take offense. 🙈👍🏼 I verbally apologized in the rehab video as well.

Make sure you have someone repack the wheel bearings with grease before you leave on your maiden voyage. They usually dry out when sitting for long periods of time and can leave you stranded on the side of the road!Good score!

You got a great deal! Looks like it’s been really well cared for. A few fixes and your own personal touches and it’ll be good to go. Enjoy!

Couldn't handle the background music.

Looks like a fun project! The stove probably latches to the side of the camper for cooking outside. Looking forward to seeing your progress!

Great buy, much better buy than the popup I bought in 2010 for a long cross country trip.A little advice. I had many damaged stitches on the tent seams. Good quality waterproof fabric glue, did a great job of fixing them. Also get a 2 foot level and keep it with your camper gear. Use it to level your setup. Before you raise the top. Use it on the roof. I can't remember if I did it front to back, than side to side or the other way around. Than set up the camper and check it on the floor. Even a little bit of unlevel is noticeable if not corrected. Carry some 6inch by one foot boards to place under a wheel on an unleveled camp site. Than drop the stablelizers. One camp I was at needed 8 inches of wood to level out. I even had to put wood under the stablelizers on that side.

THE BACK ROUND MUSIC IS DRIVING ME NUTS

Only major problems with a pop up are tires and wheel bearings. Make sure wheel bearings are packed with good quality wheel bearing grease and tire pressure is correct before each trip.

We had a 1992 version of same floor plan. Ours had a 5 gallon jug that fit into a cabinet near the sink and hooked up to that hand pump. We also installed a small rv fridge in cabinet by front door. We changed hinges to left side so it could be accessed while top was down. Good luck with the renovation. We had lots of great trips in ours.

We have a 95 Coleman Popup. We love it. I'd get a 12v air pump for the tires, a bottle jack (from Harbor Freight) a 4 way for the lug nuts and a spare tire and wheel (Northern Tool). Great find and a great deal. You will love it...

Okay I love the music it helped my adhd brain focus on her voice and the things she was talking about. I am so happy you found the pop up on Facebook market place. Can't wait to see the adventures in this pop up.

Nice find! I haven't read thru all the comments. Looks like there may be some water damages in the camper. Few things I highly recommend. 1. Check there are no molds in the any of the wood and cushions. 2. Get new tires and repack the bearings . 3. Check underneath the camper for any rust and Frame damage. Enjoy !!!

Honestly girl it´s a hell of a sweet deal enjoy working on it, hope to see the next episode...good job congrats!

Lucky you! Looks like it's in great condition! I bought one in similar condition and camped in it for several years. Have a wonderful time fixing it up! My main tip would be to get some canvas treatment to keep it supple and waterproof. Oh, and I agree about the background music!

Happy for you, I think you got a deal. Be sure to replace the plug end. Your missing the ground ( 3rd prong). Enjoy and can't wait to see it finished!

I bought a 1973 Dodge 360 "Fireball" and lived f.t. in it while working on it in the Central-Oregon Wilderness for two years. It was rough, but I learned a lot. One of the greatest things you could do is to find (get crafty on) sturdy aluminum and plastic versions of the fixtures in there currently. The less weight, the smaller the vehicle that can pull it, and the less gas-mileage the added weight adds to your haul. Not to mention it'll look better, and you can take things that WERE large and clunky and replace them with more modern and compact versions that likely take up less resources (fuel, power, battery, water, etc...). CUT WEIGHT wherever possible. Personally, at 6' 3", I'd scrap all the canvas and "popup" concept of the whole thing, and just frame in and build walls, with platforms that mount just like the undersides of the pop-out. You could make a VERY simple modification and wall-mount a small diesel heater and remove that massive p.o.s. one in there. Resell the old one, there's a huge market for old RV parts, especially heaters/ranges/ovens/microwaves/windows/etc... You'll likely make back, or close to, what you spent on a new one... I'm actually looking to start doing one myself soon. I have a buttload of lumber and materials.

Hard to hear with that music playing in background

Hey there... We had a pop up camper.. And we installed a stereo in it and upgraded the propane to a double bottle..and moved axle to the top of the springs(cheap man's lift kit) and went with oversized tires for more ground clearance.. That white bracket outside the door on your camper is foe the stove so you can use in outside!💙💙 enjoy.. Happy trails! 👣

I dont know the history of these pop up campers or when they first came out but what an invention. These must have been hugely popular early on in their existence, still very popular today, extremely convenient. Great buy even if you spend money on it. These are cozy and Ive always liked them.

GREAT FIND! My 22 ft 78 Nomad was only $300. However, once I'd gotten in to it, all I got for that $300 was the tin and trailer. Floors, frame and furniture were all borked. I removed most of the frame and half the floor with a broom. I was prepared to build the whole thing from scratch and just wrap it with the original tin any way. Still... well worth it for the money IMHO!
