Terry,
I have to agree with you bud regarding the spin about clearance, We did all the sums etc 2 years ago. Had the same yarn by the dealer until I pointed out that as you say unless
the springs are lower than the tow vehicle's diff whats the problem, also the Coromal has a drop step just in front of the wheel that is far more of a clearance problem than anything on a Jayco.
I believe for get all the sales hype, buy the one that suits you, Having towed our Jayco
places that surposed dedicated offroad campers break on eg:
Anne Beadell Highway with no problems, I can't put them down other than say I spent 2 weekends replacing screws in cupboards before doing any serious offroad stuff as the screws in the hinges were a fraction to short. I can't comment on the Coromal Screws etc. My brother just bought a Jayco Pengiun and he looked at the Coromal and the price was nearly $3,500 difference and he commented that even though the Coromal looked prettier (beading on cupboard doors) the build finish on the Jayco was better.
So Wrangler I guess you have to pay the extra for the Coromal if thats what you like, but don't let it's supposed offroad ability sway you. Normal Leaf springs are easier to buy at
Birdsville (outback towns) than special
suspension setups.
