My wife and I have been kicking the camper idea around for a while. We've determined that we want a truck camper so we can get into some backcountry and/or pull the boat when needed. Weight it *almost* a non-issue. Our '97 F350 will probably do the majority of the camper duty, and it rides much better with 1500lbs in the bed, however, I do want a pop-up to reduce drag and have better clearance.
Here's the big question:
Is there any reason to buy new, or newer? Condition being the same, were there any major leaps in truck camper technology that make a new unit better than a unit from 1990?
I am probably going to try to find a used one that needs work, and fix it up...just because I like to buy high quality things on the cheap...but if there are any reasons why a person might want a new one, what are they?
Thanks,
Phillip
