First time setup of 2013 Jayco Sport 8 popup camper

This is our first 11 minutes with the Sport 8 camper. This camper had been sitting for at least a couple of years with no activity. The mud daubers had built many, many nests in the camper and, in fact, are the reason that the fan on the AC wasn't working during the video. After the video, I took the top off of the AC and manually got the fan going and knocked out a bunch of mud dauber nests inside the unit.

Wow! This brings back memories! Had a lot of fun in our pop-up’s back in the 70’s and 80’s!

[@Make-Someday-Today]

You aren't really buying a camper. You're buying a memory maker.

[@lissablue176]

We owned one from 2007 to 2015/17? Took our grandson out with us. So much fun, great memories. Easy to set up etc.our 2nd tent trailer as we had one with our son.

The imagination to make a full sized camper out of a small trailer has no limit. Love this offroad system. So simple and satisfying to be able to live outside.

[@Make-Someday-Today]

And it can sleep an amazing number of people in something that travels down the road so compactly.

[@QUADBOYification]

@@Make-Someday-Today Yes and so easy to store.

Came upon this by chance. We had Jayco in the 80s. Bought it second hand for £500 - It had been well used😂 On one occasion remember looking through my car mirror to see a wheel bouncing down the M11 motorway whilst driving down to London England. I spent two days trying to find HT bolts imperial had - to make do with ordinary bolts. Fortunately my Wife's cousin was coming to visit us in England the following month from Tiffin Ohio - she picked up the correct bolts from the factory which she drove past each week and we were roadworthy again. Happy days 😂😂

[@Make-Someday-Today]

That's an awesome memory that you have.

Aslamualakum mashallah zabardast waoooo kya bat g im link ❤ im from Pakistan Islamabad ❤

[@diecast_SkyCro-DSC]

Lovely 😃

[@margaretdevries8090]

I’m put off one already ! Hope it was a bargain !

[@Make-Someday-Today]

We're happy our video let you know this might not be the your best style of camper. Thanks for watching.

[@trudidolder3094]

So glad I saw how it is being set up…. Not for me. Had a tent for many year and now a small camper, livable, as soon as we arrive.

[@Make-Someday-Today]

Each time of living arrangement has pros and cons. Glad to help make you more secure in your decision to not have this type of recreational vehicle!

[@philltaylor8442]

It helps to PUT SUMTHIG solid UNDER your jacking POINTS! Otherwise YOU'LL BE sinking into the GRASS?.

[@Make-Someday-Today]

Excellent point about the stabilizer jacks in the back and we would certainly have done that if we were planning to leave the camper open. Because we were literally just opening it and closing it back up we didn't bother, but for anyone doing real camping... good advice.

[@atillauzun3413]

Teferruattır çok.hidrolik sürgülü tavan inip yükselen şekilde olsa tente kullanılmamış olur..

[@SK-qc6fb]

Lookslike a 1968 Apache Mesa

[@Make-Someday-Today]

Not familiar with that one, but I'm not surprised by what you say. It's incredible how little some of the design elements on these have changed over time. Main thing you really notice is just how square the body panels are. They have added a few curves over the years.

[@SK-qc6fb]

How 'bout a little WD?

[@Make-Someday-Today]

West-bound and Down?

[@liroweplays847]

The reason why your door would not go in right is because its not leval

[@Make-Someday-Today]

I could totally believe that!

[@uwekoelblin4606]

Heiner's Bastelstube. 😂Das wäre absolut nicht meins. Entweder Zelt oder Wohnwagen.

[@Make-Someday-Today]

Different people are attracted to different types of camping. Get out there and enjoy whatever style works best for you!

[@petersteinbart9833]

typisches amerikanisches Gelump. Nicht vergleichbar mit unseren Zeltcaravanen.. Wo ist Platz für das geschirr und Kocher?

[@Make-Someday-Today]

Thank goodness you aren't being forced to use it!

[@111fedot]

Не, такую конструкцию Я точно бы не стал рассматривать, а вот форд транзит вполне удобен чтобы сделать машину дом который в который можно добавить wi-fi и другими гаджетами, хотя некоторые бывало что жили прямо в машинах, покупали обычную легковушку, помню у моего соседа был Лэнд Ровер, он просто складывал задние сидения и спал прямо там в багажнике, ему было удобно, так как спать он мог там а парковался на ночь у заправки, а там есть туалет, очень удобно, когда и бензин и магазин и туалет рядом, а машина была как раз с wi-fi, он часто смотрел видео перед тем как заснуть! Я так не жил, но сосед говорил что вполне уютно и денег много на отель тратить не надо и на самолёт по России, хотя износ машины это ведь тоже затрата денег! В общем каждый путешествовал так как кому нравится и считает удобным, я же любил классическим способом: собирал в огромный рюкзак палатку всё что нужно из одежды, еду и то что могло пригодиться, но в основном там где по близости колодец был, ну и ночевал в палатке, ну а если вдруг было прохладно: то хочешь грейся у костра или лёгким тепловентилятором с юсб в палатке! Когда человек хочет чего то особенного и то что его в полное устраивает, соответственно позже от этого: рождаются разные идеи! Молодцы!

[@Make-Someday-Today]

Vans are great for some people. Class-A motorhomes are great for others. Some like pull-behind travel trailers, and for others, a popup camper like this one is the ideal solution. It's nice to have options on what you want have!

make someday now

[@sraa1952]

It looks way complicated for a setup. It would help alot if the wife would pitch in to help him insteadof just looking. Thats not one person camper setup
