used rv for sale under 5000 craigslist
Finding a used RV for sale under $5,000 on Craigslist in Utah can be challenging, as prices and availability vary. Based on recent Craigslist listings in Utah (e.g., Salt Lake City, St. George, Provo, and Ogden areas), RVs in this price range are typically older models, smaller travel trailers, or pop-up campers, often needing repairs. Here are some insights and tips:
Observations from Craigslist Listings in Utah:
- Salt Lake City Area (saltlakecity.craigslist.org):
- Listings under $5,000 are rare and often include older pop-up campers or small trailers.
- Example: A “Camper shell on trailer” was listed for $3,800 in Draper, but most other RVs exceed $5,000.
- St. George Area (stgeorge.craigslist.org):
- Some older trailers, like a “Car Dolly” for $2,200, appear, but full RVs under $5,000 are scarce.
- Provo and Ogden Areas (provo.craigslist.org, ogden.craigslist.org):
- Similar trends, with most RVs listed above $5,000. Budget options are often incomplete or project vehicles.
Alternatives and Tips:
- Expand Your Search:
- Check nearby states like Idaho, Wyoming, or Colorado on Craigslist (e.g., phoenix.craigslist.org or denver.craigslist.org) for more options.
- Example: Listings in Phoenix include older pop-up campers under $5,000, like a “Pop up camper fleetwood Utah” for $2,500.
- Other Platforms:
- RV Trader (rvtrader.com): Offers used RVs, but most under $5,000 are outside Utah.
- Parris RV (parrisrv.com): Focuses on Utah and Idaho, but budget options may require contacting them directly.
- eBay (ebay.com): Occasionally lists towable RVs under $5,000, with shipping or pickup options.
- Facebook Marketplace or KSL Classifieds (classifieds.ksl.com): Local Utah listings may have budget RVs not found on Craigslist.
- Considerations:
- RVs under $5,000 are often older (1990s–2000s) and may need repairs (e.g., water damage, tire replacement).
- Verify condition and title status before purchasing, as Craigslist deals can be risky.
- Look for lightweight trailers or pop-ups, as these are more likely to fall within your budget.
- Example Models to Look For:
- Older Fleetwood, Jayco, or Starcraft pop-up campers.
- Small travel trailers like the 2002 Sunnybrook Lite 24 CKFS (noted in some budget RV guides, e.g., motorverso.com).
Recommendation:
- Regularly check Craigslist in multiple Utah regions and nearby states for new listings.
- Be prepared to act quickly, as budget RVs sell fast.
- If no luck on Craigslist, explore KSL Classifieds or RV Trader for local deals, and consider slightly expanding your budget for better options.
