I know this is gonna open up a can of worms, but i can't be bothered doing the research. We just want a about 14ft pop top caravan which we won't probably use a real lot , but we don't want to buy crap either. Would it be a fair comment to say that if we bought anything Jayco we would be ok? We just want to do weekends away. We don't want to hear from the hard core big 4x4 outback tourists, just ya average that like to get away for a break at times, thanks.

Certainly worth a look at second hand Goldstream.
We pull a Wing III ST with our Colorado 7, but that is a rugged Camper-trailer, rather than a pop top. Never - the - less nothing breaks even on real rough stuff, so a second - hand pop top one, in the size you desire, could
well be a reliable purchase.
Keep us informed.
P.s we did tow a Jayco, tandem axle pop top, 11000 km around Australia a few years ago. We stuck to the bitumen and had no problems. It was 1500 kgm laden, (carefully weighed,) right on the limit for the Mazda Tribute we had at the time. It was great, and only sold, [at a good price], because we shifted to a town house.
Let us know what you end up doing.

Hi
Cliff,
Rest assured the more research you do the more makes n models you will stumble upon that will all probably be a fit for you. I myself bought a new Goldstream which I am very happy with and even got to see it being made as their factory is close by and I did buy from the manufacturer so I easily specced it out how I wanted to support stays off the
grid.
Friends have bought a mixture of new and old / Jayco / Goldstream / Windsor.
They are all happy.
You just need to pin down your must haves: # beds / electric tap / awning / storage box / seating / microwave / bike rack etc. If you can hold off and buy at a major caravan show you will get a good deal and perhaps buy one of the show vans or order one with the colors you like.
Good luck
Marty
