HI Russo, to answer your question, the hawk and eagle are the same in all respects but different only in the internal layout. Its a personal thing and I recommend visiting the sales yard and walking through each model. I personally like the layout of the eagle due to the straight bench and placement of cooking area. Regards buying tips for new campers, just read the articles on this site and pick up the Camper Purchase Checklist. Oh and subscribe to the freee newsletter. That should do it.

We bought a 2006 model Jayco Swan which turned out to be a good deal, but at the same time friends of ours bought an older 2002 model and had nothing but problems. Im sure they have paid more for it in the wash up than we did for ours. Deni and Jake

The best thing about a ‘Smart Charger” is you can still use it to charge your car battery. Every home should have one! If anyone would like to know how to install a battery charger into the camper, tell me here and I will post the details to the site.

Comment on Portable BBQs by Davo

One of the big issues with camp bbq’s is their ease of cleaning. The models that have a full piece moulded tray under the burners to collect cooking grease, fats and oils, makes for much easier cleaning. One way to overcome this if you’re El-Cheapo BBQ doesn’t have a full length removable grease tray is to line the burner tray with aluminum foil. By placing silver Aluminium foil under the burners and around the inside of the bbq, your bbq will last longer and stay clean forever. Just remove the old foil after a week and replace it with new foil lining. If you’re cooking fatty bbqs ever day, you might need to change the foil more often. Remember to poke open the air holes in the bbq body to allow air flow under the gas burners. Davo.

Comment on How to Sell a Camper by Davo

Jeremy thanks for your question. You might refer to point 6 on page 7 of the Sellers Guide, but I’d need to know your starting price and if you have received any bids yet. Assuming you haven’t got any bids, do you feel your starting price is attractive enough? The fact that people are calling you probably gives a “yes” to this question. The other element you may consider is value. When an item is of high value, many buyers are reluctant to take a risk and place a bid. You need to ensure your advertisement mentions that they can inspect anytime by arrangement prior to final bidding. I find that items over about $20K will rarely sell “sight unseen”. In other words, if your motorhome is expected to sell for say $30,000 or $50,000 upwards, you need to be more personalised and accommodating in your dealings with potential buyers. To save time try to qualify the buyers before spending time with their inspections. (refer points 4&5 page 9) Always have them come to you rather than you visit them with your vehicle and whilst you are running a bidding campaign on eBay, simply answer any questions about “what’s your bottom line” etc with something genuine like “If you’re serious, why dont you come by and inspect the item. We can discuss price once you’ve had a look”. Otherwise DONT giveaway the reserve price, you will kill your campaign. Stick to the programme. If the buyer is genuine, they will inspect, you can decide on the spot if you want to negotiate with them, but here’s a tip – make sure they have the money! During initial discussions onsite, try asking “how would you be paying for the item?” You should seek an answer that is cash or bank cheque and most importantly, their reaction to this question will give some indication of their seriousness. If they “sniff a deal” (ie, you make it attractive for them) you should notice an increase in their motivation. Good luck with the sale. Steve.
