SOLD - 1984 U-Haul CT13 Fiberglass Trailer - $12,000 - Sacramento, CA

Huge price drop! $12,000 or Best Offer.

Our 1984 U-Haul CT13 (for “Camper-Trailer 13 feet”), Roly Poly, has been ideal for us, but for health reasons we need a campervan now, so we must sell him. We've lowered the price from $15,000 to $12,000!

Roly’s total length is 13 feet; his interior is 10 feet long; he weighs 1,250 pounds empty. The egg is made of two fiberglass double-hulled halves. He’s a U-Haul CT13, which were intended for the rental market and were consequently built more sturdily than your average egg. They’re rare and historical, far better than a pop-up or a teardrop, and essentially cool. Fewer than 2,000 were made.

Roly has been perfect for us. He’s nimble. You can go anywhere. Camping in Roly is like being inside a cozy little pearl. It’s been fantastic to have everything all ready to go whenever we wanted. We took many long trips into the mountains and camped in remote areas in very cold and very hot weather.

But now, after 11 years with Roly, we are selling him because one of us got cancer and doesn’t feel up to dealing with a trailer anymore. We’re hoping to get enough money for Roly to buy a campervan, which we believe will allow us to eke out a few more years of camping.

We have done so much to Roly to make him functional and comfortable for one or two people who love to camp. We hope some person or couple will take him out to camp again.

We are asking $12,000, down from $15,000. If you’d like more information, email me and I will send you a very informative PDF answering every question you might have.
