This tent trailer is easy to tow and fits in most camp spots. It also has a dinette with a 2 burner stove, a sink and a fridge. This unit has 2 slide out beds and a booth dinette for additional sleeping. This is a nice tent trailer perfect for getting the family out camping at your favorite spot without being on the ground. I'm willing to bet the 2007 you're looking at is a better built popup the ones made once Forest River bought the company.Have a look at this 2011 Clipper 106 Tent Trailer. I myself have little to no faith in Forest River products of any brand. And I mean big problems, and being overseas Forest River didn't really provide him much support, let alone warranty work. The guy pays all kind of money to have it shipped overseas to Korea I think it was and had nothing but one problem after another. In my honest opinion it was a quality built popup.īack around 2010/2012 or so, I really couldn't pinpoint exactly when there was a guy here, BigBaron or something like that was his name and he had a brand new Forest River Coachmen Clipper. After 10 seasons and many awesome adventures I sold it last year when we moved up to the travel trailer for $2200. It cost me something like $107.00 and took about an hour to change out. (MSRP WAS $5400.) It was a great little camper with relatively no issues except about 6 years in I had to replace the power supply because it wouldn't charge the battery anymore. In 2009 I bought a 2007 Coachmen Clipper Sport 806S, the smallest popup they made. A 2007 was built by Coachmen Viking Industries and a 2012 is built by Forest River who purchased the company in 2008. Just so the original poster understands, there's a huge difference between a 2007 Coachmen Clipper and a 2012 Coachmen Clipper. Around May there will be a lot more on the market and it's easier to compare prices. I'm outside of Chicago and there is very little for sale right now. But it seems prices vary a lot based on time of year and location, so it's hard to say if that's reasonable. So keep this in mind so that your kids don't outgrow their beds right away. In our first PUP, our girls (then ages 13 and 5) shared a double and they hated it because the little one kicked and tumbled into her sister all night long! Also when the dinette folds to a bed it is a SHORT bed. From my experience a "camper double" is a tight fit even for two kids. So a "camper double" is several inches smaller than a double bed in your house. Just keep in mind that you should factor in time and money for that.īed sizes - keep in mind that rv bed sizes are generally smaller than beds in your house. It's likely a used PUP you buy will need cleaning, caulking, and/or new tires. But YouTube can help! I changed the flush valve on my PUP toilet based on what I learned from some YouTubers.ĭeferred maintenance - it seems many used PUP's haven't been kept up. RV shops charge a lot and many don't even want to do work on PUP's. ![]() "Handy-ness" - are you handy? Can you fix stuff? PUP's will always need maintenance and minor repairs. Towing - what's your tow vehicles specs? This looks like a smaller PUP, so usually not a problem. Welcome! I'm sure you'll get lots of good advice! Here's some general things to think about:Ĭondition - should be your absolute top requirement! For me, water leak = no deal.
