Title: Camper
Post by: MaineShark on March 24, 2012, 03:59 PM NHFT
1986 Jayco pop-up camper.  Towable with a large car.  Opens to approximately 24 feet long.  Three beds - sleeps six (more, if you're good friends).  Has a sink, icebox, and propane stove (stove can be used inside, or hooked into convenient clips on the outside, to avoid excess heat during nice weather).

Not perfect, but excellent shape for the age, and it wouldn't take much to fix the few small defects.

Half an ounce of gold, or best reasonable offer.  Equivalent in paper with portraits of Benjamin Franklin, or other forms of barter may be considered.

Located in Grafton, but delivery anywhere in NH or Vermont (or parts of Maine) is negotiable.

Approximately.  Maybe 20.  Not certain, as I've never really measured it exactly, but most pop-ups come close to doubling their length, when opened.

So it's also a 'pop over'

I suppose, but that's not what they're called.  The roof goes up, and then the beds slide out to the front and back, and are supported by braces that connect down to the frame.

I've seen some folks remove the canvas so the beds are not covered, and use them for sales/concession trailers, using the bed platforms as extendable tables.

Canvas is in good condition.  No leaks, as of the last time I had it open.
