@mindseyedesign2 жыл бұрын
What is affordability to a broad customer base? Are there specific numbers that fit into what the general public would or wouldn't consider affordable? Having featured thousands of campers on this channel, most of which are above average in price, luxuries, amenities, and new, specifically, for a reason - they are more entertaining to view in short features on KZfaq. My observation regarding prices is that the prices are at market value. However, you can buy a camper at almost every price range to fit nearly every budget. You can also save money buying an earlier model, used, or without bells and whistles. We have a dedicated playlist to the lower price range campers available with many options to add to that list. For the most part, our viewers tend to watch the more lavish trailers featured than the more common basic builds. Watching our videos, I would expect the campers to be higher-end campers with higher prices than what the once in a blue moon camper would pay. I am only trying to be fair to the companies we feature, and I see these types of comments often enough to feel it's essential and point out we feature campers meant for people who would live in them, camp, and frequently travel in them, along with understanding what fair market value is. The term "you get what you pay for" comes to mind, especially when shopping for campers. If we browse the Alibaba website, there's a good chance we find some knock-off campers (borrowed designs) with considerably lower price tags. I doubt they will include a warranty, but it's another option.

@@mindseyedesign thank you for the indepth response addressing that topic. It's easy to see all this cool stuff and lament the price point, but the fact remains no matter how high it might feel to some, there's clearly a market for that price point or it couldn't sustain itself

Cortes is my fav. I do like plain/modern interior. I want ease in cleaning and this one is it. Spray cleaner inside, walls too. The full frig./freezer is a plus. The length 17' is manageable for just about anyone and the dry weight is 1800 lbs. Even loaded it can be pulled my many autos: SUV, small trucks on up. 30 gal H20..great! Bathroom/toilet/sink all good to go. You can change the color too. No rust anywhere (love that) and a 4 season trailer will open many options. I also like the Starvision, modified pop up camper. Pop Up campers "can" be awesome, but not the ones we have in the USA. They have needed a redesign for many decades. Anything cool like this that I can park in my garage is a huge plus.

@@amandawilcox9638 your are most definitely right to be cautious about the 8k gvw. Anyone considering the tiny drop should know how to tow a trailer, & have at least 2500 with a trailer brake set up on it. It really wouldn't hurt to look into finding someone to help teach them about hill & mountain driving. It would be tragic to lose trailer then truck brakes coming down a decent to serious grade. And those are worse out west. I drove TT for over 20yrs. I've seen quite a few travel trailers, motorhomes, & fifth wheels on their sides, roofs, & up run off ramps too many times. Motorhomes, I wouldn't ride in 1 of those for anything. It doesn't take much of an accident to make them look le a bomb went off going down the road.
