Jayco Outback Swan vs Flamingo

Hi Georgi

We have a jayco swan outback. It is great. It has awnings all round full annex with patio.Alpha pack which is external shower and hot water system. Twin gas bottles, spare tyre holder with tool box mounted on back. Battery system with anderson plug. Twin solar panels on the roof. Twin water tanks underneath. It is well set up for remote camping or pulling up into a caravan park. You will use the external shower for sure when remote camping and you will even use it to wash down even at a caravan park if you need a quick clean up. Most caravan park facilities are good these days just get online to forums and ask. We are in Port Hedland and only do winter camping due to the heat. The vans are quick enough to put up but it's the awnings that take some time to put up and down as apposed to the roll out awnings. The jayco swan tows really well it's only 1300 kg plus or minus water and additional gear. We have taken ours to coral bay, 80 mile, carawine gorge, running waters, cleaverville, some on road and some off road you just pack well and drive to the road conditions. Ours is for sale only because we want a full caravan with air cond for some long trips. Especially while we are up in the north west. They are really open inside when set up with plenty of room for two kids and gear. The windows un zip all round and they are a great mix between van and camper trailer.

You'll love it. There are a few to choose from on the market but the jayco is well priced and well made.

Hi

I currently I an outback flamingo, which I would highly recommend these campers
swan vs flamingo its a personnel choice we (family 5) much peferred the extra storage and bench space that the flamingo offers
As per awning vs annex I have had both my first Jayco had an annex and I only ever set it up once as we would normally only ever stay in the one spot for upto a week over the three years that we owned it we never found the need to use the annex when I ordered my new van I fitted a roll out awning to suit our needs.
The roll out awning was very quick to set up and offered a massive convenience factor for us, be aware there are roll out awning and there are roll out awnings, I would highly recommend the aussie traveller awning as it is extremly weather tollerant handles high wind very very well.
I sure you will enjoy what ever you choose

ps I am also selling my flammingo (forced sale) but will buy another one opted the same as what I have when money permitts

Many thanks for your replies. We have decided after measuring our garage that we actually need to go down a size so we can store it under cover when not travelling and keep the cars in the carport,
Now looking at Hawk or Eagle.
