How to "outback " a Jayco standard Swan ?

It be a whole lot easier and better to trade it in on an Outback!.

Cheers

From what I've seen of the they are much the same except for the suspension.

You could always put a Control Rider Suspension under it, probably about $5000.00 plus installation.

Gday omb099 . I was thinking of getting s/h jayco dove on road and converting to off road , but after lot looking and head banging i changed my mind. To do good job you should fit new spring with shackles ,shockers, fit springs on top of axle. Draw bar should made stronger and chas. All this would cost a lot of dollars, So ended buying a new outback hawk . All i have to do now is get time to use it . regards Macca

I was looking at a Jayco last weekend. There is a big difference between the standard and outback version. The salesman tried to sell me a very nice secondhand Goldstream Storm it was reasonably priced and well kitted out but it was not a real off road van IMOP.

I did like the Jayco Flamingo Outback as it has more bench space then the others, Eagle, Dove etc.

In the end I have decided to stick with my Cameron Camper Trailer. I might even lash out and put a electric water pump on it. LOL

As for some of the other Camper Trailers I cant justify the price of say a Kimberly Camper or some of those other top of the line Box Trailers with a tent on top.

While you working thru a more permanent solution Ombo you can do a lot with just tyres in 2 ways.

1/ Being diligent with having pressures just enough to take the load and slowing on rough sections can dramatically reduce the peak loads that break things, just as with our cars.

2/ As we did with our leaf sprung trailer , get taller high load tyres and again with the right pressures they will can act as a better suspension.
