Used 2016 Starcraft Comet 1019 — Draper, UT

Listed at $3,419, this used 2016 Starcraft Comet 1019 is a pop-up camper on the Tent Camper floor plan. Dry weight is 1,640 lb, below the 1,850 lb median for the category. At 16 ft 6 in it is longer than most pop-up campers (13 ft 10 in).

Plan around 1,950 lb loaded rather than the dry figure. A mid-size SUV, minivan or small pickup handles it comfortably; no weight-distribution hitch strictly required, though one still improves the ride.

Sleeping capacity is 6 — more than the 4 typical of the category. With no slide-outs there is less to maintain and one fewer thing to fail on the road. GVWR is 2,350 lb, leaving about 710 lb for water, propane, gear and passengers before you reach the limit.

It also sits well below the $10,327 median for pop-up campers in our inventory.

Among its listed features are outside shower, front queen bed, patio awning and booth dinette. It ships from Draper, UT door-to-door to any of the 50 states, inspected before it leaves, at one transparent price with no dealer fees.
