I have a camper shell for my truck and I don't mind sleeping in a tent, but I have been thinking about getting a pop-up camper or a truck camper. I can't beat the storage (and price!!) of the camper shell, but I really think that a truck camper would be cool because I could also tow a boat. I thought the pop-up camper idea was good when I had the A Cat because I could put it on top, but that boat is gone and my Hobie or Supercat would just crush the camper.

I'm looking at a '96 Jayco Truck camper that fits my 8' Pick-up bed. It is in great shape and has a stove, sink and nice fridge. It sleeps 4 and is very clean. It also has an AC/Heat unit that runs (of course) on Propane. It also pops up for more room. I think it has about everything except a head and shower. Sounds pretty good for compactness and ease of use and it has storage places all over it.

The guy is asking $4000/offer. I think it is a bit much, but I don't know a lot about them. I really don't see a lot of them for sale locally, either. Is there anything I should really focus on when inspecting the thing??? Is it priced too high?
