When we decided to start camping we saw an old pop up in the yard next to my mother in laws house and we asked the guy if he wanted to sell it. He said sure and we asked him if we could check it out. The guy happily popped it up for us and we saw that it was a 1976 Starcraft and it needed some work. We offered the guy $500 for it and he smiled and said sure. It didn't have AC in it so we bought an old window unit for $50, sawed a hole it in the back and plopped it in and caulked it and shimmed it up. It would freeze you out!!!!!! We also did some work inside because we didn't like the colors ( avacado green, tangerine orange, and harvest gold) from the 70's. We used that thing for 3 years and it was great. It went to Big Bend, Arkansas, Mississippi, anywhere we wanted to camp. And that was pretty cheap if you compare it to renting a trailer.
