Struck it Rich

Has any 1 heard of Trails West Campsters ? I found a1994 Campster that was in storage 13 yrs. It is Fiberglass and in Excellent Condition 13 foot and paid $350.00. Does any 1 know the true value of this Campster ?

Major score, especially if it came with the Title paperwork!

Welcome to the club, and have fun with it...

You got a deal. They are as simple as you can find for a camper trailer. I suggest you replace the tires and repack the bearings.

Great deal! I have one. What kind of shape is the pop top canvas in? What's your VIN number?

Unless you uncover something truly awful, you got a screaming deal. It is hard to find even a stripped out fiberglass rv for under a $1000.

Score!!

Plus it'll be nice to work with "square" corners. Of course in unused condition it probably doesn't need any work.

---------------------------------------------------------------

A 1994 Campster??? I though that they went out of production in 1974.

True Value????? Mostly what someone is willing to pay. Campsters are much like Hunter Compact I's II's & Jr's from the same time period (1970-1975).

Restorable Hunter (like) fixers usually sell between $1-2K, Good original condition rigs about $2-4k, Super restored and updated units have been seen from $5k. One Campster in Spokane, renamed the CampStar, was for sale at $9k.

Look in the SOLD TRAILERS listings in fiberglass-rv-4sale.com for past sales under "Other trailers".

Yeah, that just hit me, too. 1970-1974 or 5 was when they were made. And what happened to the O.P.?
