Nube looking to buy
I'm new to the forum and would appreciate any help. We're looking to buy a Hi Lo 20' or less for 10K or under. The year is not too important although "90 or newer would be nice. No fixer-uppers! Everything must work and it must look good also. We have kept up with the usual sources, OODLE, E-Bay, etc. When we find something that might fit it's in Fla, Az,Ca,Ny etc, too far. Driving up to 400 or 500 mi. might work, but not much further. We live in north-central Arkansas, about 25 mi. south of the Mo. line. Options, St. Lo., Kansas City, Dallas, Memphis..... Also, I know the plant closed this last summer. Not a problem with me, I know they make a great, qualty product.
We actually looked at a 2006 23' in Elkhart In. for 11k in great condition, but it's just too long for me to store. This was about a month ago while visiting family in So. Bend In. We moved from there to Ar. about 33 years ago. Also if we can find a unit northern In. I could have my brother bring it down to Ar.
Anyway, any help would be appreciated and i know I'll visit often after I get my Hi Lo!
Thanks, Dick lee

There is a number of different sites to look at, rvt.com,rvtraderonline,oodle classifeds.com and craigslist. I bought my 5 years ago, We seached for 3years to find one in california in my price range and distance to travel(at the time they where not common) Don't give up, the right one will come along. The towlite I bought needed alot of work (my opinion) and I'm always upgrading it.

Took me two years to find what I wanted. I had decided on a hybrid because I couldn't find a HiLo. Then a HiLo showed up on Craig's List only 10 miles from home. Just bought it a few days ago. 2002 23ft for $7500. I've had to rent storage space but it's only 2 miles down the road.
By the way, I've taken two fishing trips to your area, around Mountain Home. These were pre-camper. I really like the area and the trout fishing is great! People are very friendly for the most part and living is relatively cheap. Wouldn't mind moving there but my wife is still working and we can't relocate. We're in SC just south of Charlotte, NC.
