After much deliberation we have decided on a jayco hawk (or perhaps a flamingo) for our adventures (with small tents for the bigger boys)....We won't be ready to purchase for a couple of months but have started to get an idea of 2nd hand prices Vs new and are currently sitting on the fence in regards to that decision (might depend ultimately on how much the house gets when it sells). But in so doing we noticed that the dimensions given for jayco hawks and flamingos were considerably shorter than those given in the specs for current models....bit hard to compare old/new if they are completely different (we are talking like 4' shorter)! is it in the way its measured? theres too many saying the same thing for it to be just one person mismeasuring.

current specs say a hawk is 16'7" travel length and a flamingo is 17'7"

anyone got an older jayco who can help? I'm sure I'm missing something.

p.s. will likely be towing with a kia carnival (it appears to be only van on the market capable of towing more than 1500kg)
