Hello We purchased a new 2006 Jayco Pop Top Destiny last year
& loved it until it took on
water (on our 1st trip) through the tail
lights that weren't sealed. It took on so much
water that it continued
to run out for 3 weeks after it had ceased raining. We were in north QLD
and couldn't do anything but to turn around & return home. To the
dealers credit (after MUCH discussion with him & the manufacturer) he
replaced the van with another exactly the same. Although he said he
would guarantee that there would be no mould inside I wasn't convinced
of that as obviously the walls had held a huge amount of
water for some
time & I didn't want to risk ending up with a smelly, mouldy van & worse
still illness down the track. Guess what! The new van which is 6 months
old is back at the dealers with mould along the wall beside the bed, a
wet mattress & the doona on the bed could be wrung out. The carpet under
the bed & in the rear floor cupboard were under
water. The
water from
rain had run along the roof to the back of the van (we had it on a
slight slope) into the top rear lights that hadn't been sealed. Another
potential mouldy, smelly & dangerous situation. Has anyone else
experienced similar problems with a Jayco?. We really love this van but
aren't sure if we should risk owning one in the future
