1990 Jayco 1008SG Pop-up Camping Trailer Available

I got this 1990 Jayco 1008SG trailer from a friend for free. I don't need it so I'm putting it on FreeCycle.

He bought it a few years ago from another friend, but hasn't used it in three years.

Available in Nashua, NH. Either pickup or I can deliver if it's local. Preference to whomever can take it the quickest since I don't want to spend all weekend dealing with it. Paperwork will be provided so you can register it.


1. It's a typical pop-up; hard top, a slide out bed at each end.


3. The model number 1008 means the box is 10 feet long and sleeps 8 people. (The entire frame is probably 15 feet long or so.)

4. Biggest problem is front section is separated from the side. It needs some replacement framing and a few screws or glue. This is the front left viewed from the left side.

5. The front right has the same problem at the bottom, just not as pronounced.

6. The tires and chassis are in decent shape. I had no problem towing it here from the Portsmouth area at highway speeds. The spare tire is also in good shape.

7. The hitch mechanism has a good coat of rust. It took a few squirts of WD-40 and a hammer to get it hooked up to my car. It has the standard wiring and gas hookups. The gas hookup has a gas guage attached. It also appears to have a battery hookup (for the interior lights), but I haven't verified this. The jack has an attachable wheel.


9. The canvas has a couple duct-tape repairs. It could use a real canvas patch kit.

10. Two beds on each end are in decent shape. The front one is king-sized I believe.

11. The dining table is on one end; it collapses to form a third bed which sleeps two.

12. It has an ice chest (not a fridge) and sink with a hand-pump attached to a 4-5 gallon tank (if you're not hooked up to a water supply).

13. Three-burner propane stove and a few storage cabinets.

14. The "SG" in the model number stands for "Side Gaucho" (which in the RV world is a type of uncomfortable couch that turns into an uncomfortable bed). This is the fourth bed, each of them sleeping 2 people for a total of 8.

15. It has both external water and electric hookups.

16. The photo of Specs and Serial Number Plate is a bit blurred, sorry. You'll need to get a dealer or the police to fill out a VIN verification form.

Overall these are nice trailers. This one with a little work will be very usable.

Postscript: Trailer went to a couple in Wilton. They own and existing 1985 1008SG (ie, exact same model). Theirs needs work as well and they're going to combine parts.
