Hi Steve. Great result today! We picked up a fully sic 4 berth Explorer c/van for $3000 less than it should have been. Kyle & Cindy
We bought an older Jayco Swan (2004) in perfect condition, seller had added trigg hitch, drop jacks, annexe and kitchen awning, for a great deal just a bit over $15K. Thanks for the email newsletter tips and the checklist tools. Without them we would be still scratching our head trying to spot the best deal. Stoked!
Hi there, I’ve just purchased your product, but I lost the webpage with the other checklists. Can you please email me the rest of the pdfs? It looks like a good product, thank you.
Also, do you know of any site where I can find the specs of earlier models of Jayco popup campers? It seems they get heavier as they get newer and we are interested in purchasing a lighter model.
thanks
Ann and Colin
Hey Ann & colin; thanks for your question. Regarding older Jayco’s being lighter, well here are my thoughts on the topic if it helps. I understand you are considering the purchase of an older model but haven’t commited to this yet, in which case there is a fair bit of looking around before you make up your mind one way or the other. I find the checklist is ideal for this process and that is how it should be used, since comparing one camper to the next can be a little daunting, with a guide like the Camper Purchase Checklist you’ll quickly become an expert on features, condition and suitability.
Forgive me if this sounds like a sales pitch, however some of the issues you need to consider with older campers are these:
1. 50% or more of the camper is canvas and age will cause deterioration,
2. Jayco, Goldstream and other quality Australian made campers have to be made robust enough to last the years of punishment,
3. As a general rule, older model campers will fall into 3 broad categories of use: 1. Well used 2. Moderately used , and 3. Rarely used,
4. When you add it all up, the extra cost you need to factor in could make the camper overpriced in the market.
5. Resale value of an older camper will usually decrease faster after the first or second year of ownership.
Should you consider a late model camper, you will immediately overcome many of these issues mentioned above.
Thanks for your purchase of the Camper Purchase Checklist, I wish you great success with your iminent purchase.
Davo.
