Okay, please be patient with me!! We know NOTHING about campers or what to look for. I did look throught he library on here and pages of past stuff. I kinda want an expert to hold my hand! :-[
We stopped at a garage sale and noticed a Jayco 1206 (1995 yr) for sale. We like it though it needs to be cleaned up and does not come with fire extinguisher, spare tire looks fairly smooth and really didn't take strong notes on much except that we were interested in it due to price being in our range and the size of it. We are just thinking about it since he has a friend that is supposed to buy it, but has baled 3 times. We told him we would call at end of month
It has the shower/potti thing- though has never been used per his words. He said previous owner never used it either and has no clue what to do to make sure it works.
He added an extra a/c unit below one of the beds? close to the outside propane tank near the front.
there is a fridge K and Q beds and it looked like 1 stove burner? Like I said we just kinda glanced..
I saw that I need to check walls and corners for leakage, along with screens for tears and fridge for cooling. What else should we test or check? We have never towed, though as own a 4X4 Ford Ranger (2007) so I would assume it would do fine (we have 4 children so I would drive the ODyessy since we are worried about tranny on it trying to install a hitch and towing with it)
The owner wants $1500 for it, which seems reasonable according to blue book...and craigslist. we are scared to put ANY $$ into something that could be VERY bad for us with being a young family and not a whole lot to spare.. We don't even know how to really tow or to hook brakes up or to pop open the thing or how to fill with water for sink ect... I know, we are sad cause we have no clue about ANYTHING!! I appreciate ANY help!
Sincerely,
Rachel
