Summer is here, and the appeal of the camper is at the seasonal peak. If you checked out the July2010 issue of Sunset magazine, you saw a terrific article written by Anna Nordberg about her first Central Coast California roadtrip with a beautiful new yet retro Vintage Airstream camper trailer. The pictures up the Central Coast and Big Sur area are fabulous, and the Airstream couldn’t be more inviting. The really interesting angle here is the idea of renting the Airstream and tow vehicle! And I couldn’t agree more on how much sense this makes. Why not try on an Airstream and check out the fit for your family before purchasing a new or used Airstream? The Sunset article about Airstreams includes several references for Airstream rentals in Phoenix Arizona and elsewhere.
The Airstream article in the July 2010 Sunset magazine touched on several popular camper styles, and gave the highlights of the different camper values. The most popular campers this summer, as seen by Sunset Magazine, are the Airstream Camper Trailer, the Teardrop trailer RV, the VW or Camper Van, the RV, and the Pop-Up Trailer. Here’s a rundown of the different camper values, or camper blue book values.
- Airstream camper trailers can be purchased used as well as new. The values for the Airstream will vary according to the age, model, and wear and tear on the camper. The Airstream camper value is well documented in severa l different websites. If you’re looking to buy an Airstream trailer, try checking with your local credit union or bank to check the blue book value. The KBB (Kelly Blue Book) is issued (as a book!) several times per year, and is available by subscription. Although it’s nice to have a brand new copy, you can sometimes find a used copy for sale. You can also check your library to see if they have any in the reference section to sit down with. You can bring your laptop to the library if they have an internet connection, and sit down and calculate camper values using the Kelley Blue Book for Campers. These are the categories that KBB values covers: Folding Trailer values, Fifth Wheel Trailer values, Travel Trailer values, Van Conversion values, camper blue book values, and motor home rv values. You can find more info on the KBB website (Kelley Blue Book Value.)
- Teardrop campers, or tiny campers, are very popular. They’re easy to tow, and generally lightweight, and a good camper value. Check the tow capacity of your vehicle – and don’t forget to estimate the amount of luggage and household (camping) items that need to be stored inside the camper. The teardrop camper will be of a good value to climb in out of the weather, Next time you’re tent camping in the rain, visualize the great camper value of a tiny teardrop trailer! Dry sleeping bags! Cozy mattress!
- The VW or Camper van has been a great camper value and popular way to travel and camp for decades. My Grandparents picked up a Volkswagen Camper in Europe in the early 70’s and traveled in style and comfort all over Europe.
- RV’s range in value from several thousand dollars for a vintage Winnebago to hundreds of thousands of dollars for a new luxury RV. If you’re looking for rv values, you can find a handy resource on the Nada website. This online camper blue book value website is easy to use, and includes thousands of camper model values. Just use Nada’s handy A to Z camper value matrix to look up the precise model and year camper you’re looking for, plug in the features, the mileage (if applicable) and you can estimate the used value. They also have some telephone numbers on their website for cash for RV’s. Nada is a great resource for establishing camper blue book value if you know specifically the model camper you need the values for. Nada isn’t helpful if you want to just browse and get an idea of what you need, you’d have to click links endlessly to calculate camper values, and the pictures and reviews just arent’ there. It’s a lot more helpful to browse eBay if you’re just looking to kick some tires!
- Last but not least, Sunset recommends a pop-up trailer. This should be lighter weight and easier to tow than a full length camper trailer, less weight for better gas mileage, easier to park, and less expensive. If you’re looking to buy a pop-up trailer used, you can check your local Craigslist site for pop-up campers, folding trailer values, fold down camper values and so on. Basically what you’re looking for is a trailer that changes size when you set it up. Most pop-up campers have extensions that pull out or fold out, giving you room to place your mattress for a good night’s sleep. I’m partial to the pop up camper system that cranks or uses hydraulics to open, because a single adult can set up the pop-up camper. For an idea of pop-up camper values you can also check your local newspaper to see if they’re running any ads for camper lots. If so, stop by and let them know which mode l you’d like, and if you don’t see it on the lot they’ll keep you in mind for any trade-ins that come in. eBay is a great site to search also, just to see what’s on the market and how much it’s selling for.
