Still kickin myself with todays prices

[firepit]

Should have bought one back when they were $12-$13K....Now i am seeing them from anywhere from $19-$23K.
Love the retro look and dedicated bed in a small trailer....Would have been perfect for me and my wife.
I snoozed and i lost.

Used prices seem to vary a lot, if you're willing to go that route. There are a couple of FB owners' groups, and they allow sale postings. (There has been a 177 in ABQ on FB marketplace recently, but I don't remember the price.) Ane yes, like seemingly every other camper, the Retros have gone up in price.

@firepit… I believe you will find your perfect trailer when it’s the right time and at the right price.

Just like I’ll get a bigger truck at the right time and price.

Happy Camping…

Wait, another year or two. I believe we are going to see some real deals on toys. Inflation is going to cut into a lot of people's recreation budgets.

Been waiting for this post my friend! I was (busy working) browsing a local dealer website today…. I can’t flippin believe what prices have done!! Crap like mine is easily $10k more than I paid four years ago…. Makes me sick! The flip-side is: I am glad I bought my house and this camper when I did… no way in h-e-double hockey sticks would I be able to move OR by a camper now!

I feel similiar about that as well. I'm also quite happy I got the super small ultra light pup, with the way gas prices are. I take a fuel penalty but it's actually quite reasonable. So much so that I'm not making any travel plan adjustments because of fuel prices.
