dear fouldsie,
I'm Sally, Andy's wife, I want to add that the Jayco rode really
well when we drove off the roads and into the bush to
camp. At the Quart Pot range, north of
Windorah we drove over the lumpy edge of the road, up a bank and across rocky ground to the edge of the plateau. The Jayco was great, easy to make level, and we could move it by hand into position, fully loaded,( just had to be on fairly level ground to do it by hand.) The high clearance allowed it to go almost anywhere especially with the Treg coupling. I loved to watch it weaving about following the car on uneven ground. I packed things in the fridge in bubble wrap and put the pillows and towels in the cupboards to prevent breakage.
As Andy mentioned, the protection plate for the
water tank was totally inadequate as stones from the road ripped into it and also tore off the unprotected inlet tap near it on the plastic pipe. We had a new plate made at
Cloncurry, it was 2.5 mm thick and 100mm longer to cover the pipes at the end and we had no further trouble.
Also remove that silly flounce around the ceiling, put it back on when selling later. I then made removeable hanging pockets and mirror and mossy net to hang around; extremely useful. We also hang dowel towel rails up inside using the velcro attached to material loops. We store these under the mattress when travelling.
It's a great camper -open and airy- enjoy.
sally.
