Our pop-up camping life started on May 31 2014.  I purchased a 1994 Coleman Destiny Royale Pop-Up camper from a friend for $500.  It's was a decision to switch our camping from tent to pop-up. My camping journey started around 2012 using tent.  My son is a cub scout.  I went to a cubscout camping trip.  After several rainy/mud camping trip, it's time to get off the ground.



This pop-up camper look very clean and in good shape.  There is normal wear for a 20 years old camper.  The canvas is in good shape.  The trailer GVWR is 1225 according to NADA.
