looks like a steal!msteve1014 - 5-9-2015 at 02:23 PM
I would guess that 950 means it is 9.5 feet long, and it LOOKS long.fandango - 5-9-2015 at 02:42 PM
Check out the roof leak carefully.
It is about $1500.00 to replace the rubber roof unless you do it yourself like woody. dckiteboards - 5-9-2015 at 02:50 PM
so the owner measured it
"I measured it from the front edge, where it meets the cab.
And the rear end, that would be in the box.
It is 8ft 6in"
I would guess the 950 as well would mean 9.5

That looks good, I am looking for one for my old f350 dulley. WE use the old truck to move our 36ft fifth wheel with. But I would like to have a
camper to make Baja trips and get more use out of the old truck.

so he sent the Center of gravity and it was 10 inches to far back. so it was a no gochuckie - 5-10-2015 at 03:50 AM
When you buy older campers which have leaked, cheap...You generally get what you pay for.....Hook - 5-10-2015 at 06:09 AM

I cant imagine that the CoG is much of an issue on a camper that length/weight with a dually.
Steer clear of ANY camper with water damage, unless you are really handy. The area above the bed can be particularly difficult with the curving
surfaces and support structure.
Personally, I wouldnt consider buying any used camper that is east of the Rockies that wasnt stored inside a building. Just too much chance of mold
and rot in all the rain, snow and humidity.desertcpl - 5-10-2015 at 12:31 PM
and old saying,,, some times its to expensive to get some thing for free
I totally agree with the others about water damage,, especially in the front cap.
unless your really know what your doing,,, your looking for a lot of trouble
$1500.00 with known issues is not a good buy at all
IMHO,,

Oh another thing,,an older camper like this 8.5 or 9.5
is any thing but light, you might not have enough truck for itAKgringo - 5-10-2015 at 12:56 PM
Campers from cold climates have problems that may not present in warmer, drier regions.
The water damage may not be a leak, but from a build up of frost above the insulation, which melts when the weather warms, and looks like a leak.
Propane cook tops, and ovens can put a tremendous amount of moisture into the air space, and it will find it's way past the vapor barrier.
The biggest concern is dry rot, and mold in the non ventilated walls and ceiling.
If there is any sag at all in the ceiling, pass on it!
Edit; I might add that if the camper was being lived in for any length of time in near single digit or lower temps, the insulation can become a
sponge if the vapor barrier fails.
