Used 2018 Forest River Surveyor 191T — Hamburg, NY

This used 2018 Forest River Surveyor 191T is a compact camper on the Hybrid floor plan, listed at $11,474. At 20 ft 4 in it is a little shorter than most compact campers (21 ft 10 in). Dry weight is 3,396 lb, below the 3,774 lb median for the category.

Loaded with water, propane and gear it will sit nearer 4,000 lb, which puts it within reach of a full-size SUV or mid-size pickup. Budget for 10–15% of that on the hitch, and a weight-distribution hitch is worth fitting at this weight.

Sleeping capacity is 5, which is on the compact side for the category. With no slide-outs there is less to maintain and one fewer thing to fail on the road. GVWR is 4,796 lb, leaving about 1,400 lb for water, propane, gear and passengers before you reach the limit.

It is listed $380 below the $11,854 MSRP, a 3% saving.

Among its listed features are ac, rear bath/shower, tv antenna and electric patio awning. It ships from Hamburg, NY door-to-door to any of the 50 states, inspected before it leaves, at one transparent price with no dealer fees.
