Just got home from picking up my new to me 09 151.  Now we just need some camping weather in Michigan so we can use it.  Any other 151 owners in the west michigan area?

  Welcome. My wife has family on a lake just east of South Haven that we will see over Memorial Day. Not sure if the POD will make this trip.   Goose

Fellow 151ers, Welcome to the forum. We have 2010 151 and it has been a very nice rig to camp in. We use the R-Dome and there is plenty of room for just the two of us. We are located in the UP and there are plenty of campgrounds up this way. Give us a shout if youre coming up. Lots of snow right though. happy camping

Goose: I will be camping at Yankee Springs State Park north of Kalamzoo on Memorial Day weekend.
 
Upwild:  I am going to try to at least make it up to the bridge this year I don't know if I will have time to get into the UP.  I have camped up their many times in past years.

My wife and I are looking to buy a 2009 151, but curious about the current market value other than what NADA shows online.  If anyone is willing to share the price they paid, please send me a PM with any info.   It would be much appreciated!!

Welcome.  Since there are so few 151s out there your best bet may be to monitor the 2009-2010 171 market and plan on paying a bit less than that.

Hi & welcome! We have a 152 and sometimes we feel that we should have gone up to the 172!

Definitely look into the 171 as a 151 alternative.  The dinette up front can be easily converted into more kitchen and storage space if you need.  As for towing, the 171 actually has a lower hitch weight than the 151 which had then (and even now) the heaviest hitch weight.
