Well here is my story im am a competition bbq cook and at my last contest in Sikeston Mo the wind was so bad it broke both my EZups so my told me that if i wanted her to continue to help me we were going to get a campernow i am a scout leader and love to tent camp so i have never really wanted to get one but we did and I am very happy we did. We purchased a 1998 Jayco Hawk Lite 24bh it had one owner and she was 85 years old she took great care of it and had all the maintenance done to it, we took it out last weekend for 1 night and everything worked great and we had no problems we only paid 6500.00 for the camper so we couldnt be more happier with that, I pull the trailer with a 2003 Jeep Liberty Limited edition with a 5000 pound hitch with weight distubution added and a brake controller, it does an outstanding job. We are really looking forward to a lot of camping

Congrats.

When we decided it was time to get off the ground, we started with a used 24BH. It was a great trailer and we had a lot of good times with it. It is now being enjoyed by some freinds of ours with two young girls, as we decided it wasn't quite big enough (son and 70lb shepard made it rather confining). If it was just my wife and I, I would venture to guess we would probably still have it. It was a great pulling trailer. The only issue we ever had was the seam between the front fiberglass cap and the roof started to leak. A strip of Eternabond, and no further issues, just some place to take a look at.

Happy campin, Happy cookin,

Tom
