Jayco/Goldstream/Coromal Campers

For what its worth we have a Goldstream Wing III and i would be reluctant to do much with it on very soft sand as I think its a bit heavy although this would also depend on the capabilities of the tow vehicle. We did look at all of the other other two brands you mentioned and opted for the Goldstream, I suppose time will tell if we went the right way.

Like Steve, we chose the Goldstream (also a Wing III) after looking at the Coromal and Jaycos. I liked the Coromal one piece roof, although there was a post here (or one of the caravanning forums) recently saying they had problems with it bubbleing. Wasn't an isolated case either. Didn't like the slide-out kitchen, can't see how that wouldn't be a dust vacuum. Jayco wasn't finished near as well as the others, but then they're a fair bit cheaper.

I have no idea how one of these class campers would go on sand. They're pretty heavy, but with the right tow vehicle you can probably drag anything along.

Karen,

We've had a Jayco Outback Eagle for 13 months and have done 61 nights away in it in that period. Other than a few minor warranty issues, which have been fixed without question, it is faultless.

We have done numerous "moderate" off road trips and I would not hesitate to recommend it as suitable for beach work.

Consider resale. Jayco's cost less to buy, but do not devalue as quickly as the others you have mentioned. As a rule, a 5 year old Jayco Camper Trailer sells for more than it cost to buy. Will the others do that for you?

ATB,

I go to fraser often and always see these types of campers set up on the beach. I realy wanted to buy one and in the interim (knowing that trailers rearely depreciate) I have bought a camper trailer and pull that on the sand boggy soft soupy stuff without any worries. I am waiting until these companies get serious and manufacture a real offroad camp van before I sell mine and buy the extra comfort. They say the goldstream fridge are not good in high heat and I was more interested in the jayco. A friend of mine got one for 24K with mags and solar wiring annex the lot.
