jayco swan mods

It would probably be easier to lift it a little, firstly with taller rubber and mods to the springs and then look at changing the setup of the hitch at the front to take up the last 4 inches or so. You could add some box tube to the top of the existing draw bar to obtain the right hight for the tow hitch.

I am contemplating doing similar to my jayco penguin, but not as big a lift as you.

You will have to put a double step at the door, change the wind down stabilisers at each corner, and if you have an annexe, it will need to be lengthened to reach the ground, as well as longer poles for the awning, and lastly longer mud flaps behind the wheels.

That's all I've figured I have to do, so far !!!!!!!!!

Keep us posted with what you come up with. Some photo's would be good.

G`day Ajack,
We had a client how wanted something similar done to his Dove.A much better result was achieved by fitting a whole new chassis to the existing one.If you would like more imformation give us a bell,[0428300357], or come back via this wonderful piece of electronic wizardry.
Regards Bob;
Keep wandering

You can also buy a dropdown hitch. My Patrol is lifted 5inches over standard, springs and tyres combined, and as such is too high for our van but the van's ground clearance is acceptable. I bought an adjustable drop down thingy at the same place I bought the van for $100 or so. Send me your email if you want some pics.

Cheers,

I have Jayco Dove with spring over conversion. I can tell you that 285's will not fit as best I can fit is 275/70R16. Double step ($140) is required and it needs to be slightly off centre and towards front of van for tyre to not scrape.
I haven't yet solved the problem of rear stabilisers as lengthening them will make them protrude too far from rear of van and they will be at eye level for the little people of this world. Have just relocated to SW of WA and will be working on this as soon as we are settled as I'm tired of using wood blocks.
If you have annexe it will not be suitable, I do not and will be getting one as soon as I have finished tidy up work. Side wind shield will also require lengthening.
