I am new to truck camping and evaluating which truck popup camper to buy. I am currently looking at Northstar TC650, Palomino Branco 800 and a comparable make from phoenix by coyote RV.
What is the experience with those models regarding quality and resale value?

Thank you

I don't know anything about a NorthStar but my buddy had a Palamino 800 and he hated it. We go off road a lot here in New Mexico and over in Arizona and his 800 started cracking and leaking and just really coming apart. He traded it for a Haulmark and he said he would never own another one.

Thank you for your answer.
It was recommended to compare the prices with NADA.
So I went there and found that the average sales price is about 30 to 50% lower than what I found offered on the market. The market prices are about the same as the list prices for not used ones depreciated over the years.
Why is there this difference? Are the NADA prices real or are the dealer prices so much to be negotiated down?
