Jayco Pop Tops

Thank you for the correction, learning the terminology every minute though that doesn't answer my questions. Thanks.

Ann H3,

Reread Notso's reply again as you are being asked a question and given some advise as to whether you are referring to a Pop Top Caravan or a Pop Top Camper Trailer.

We are still none the wiser as to what you are looking to buy. I belong to a caravan club and a number of our members have the Swan, Eagle etc, so if you let us know what it is you intend to buy we may be able to help.

so very sorry everyone. Yes I'm talking about the Jayco vans that you need to wind the tops up and the beds usually slide out on both ends.

It seems the winding mechanism may have changed around 2006. The main problem with the earlier version was the cable breaking.

You could always give Jayco a call and get a definitive answer to that question.

If you buy anything that winds up. then check it several times, winding it up and down a few times to see if it runs smoothly etc.

Jayco have a reputation for good warranty service. They have a lifetime warranty for the original owner on the winder mechanism, with conditions of course.

So from all this I'd buy something that's not too old and has the totally enclosed winder system. (later)

Thanks Notso, I've been looking on ebay and gumtree as well as caravan dealers sites for a long time but not physically checked any out. Could you please explain what the totally enclosed winder system looks like as opposed to the older version. Ta Ann
