Jayco Penguin Questions & Answers

Does anyone have the cupboard dimensions for a Jayco Penguin Outback 2018. Thanks

I have a Jayco Penguin 2013, the electric roof lift won’t go up but the motor runs,manual lift won’t work either.

I am contemplating purchasing a new Jayco Penguin (on road). I have read a series of reviews where penguin owners have experienced significant failures with the lifting system. I have previously owned Jayco campers the lifting system and cables never failed and lasted. My question is two fold (a) is Jayco using lower quality materials in their new campers in the lift system (b) has Jayco rectified the problem? I can deal with a draw not closing, or a light not working etc but if I have to worry about the lifting system failing on the way to Uluru that’s a different matter!

Hi. Just purchased a 2018 Penguin. Has anyone had issues with the plastic windows rubbing over the stove section when travelling resulting in wear to the window?

After lending the van to our family members who have been off road, we decided to take the Penguin (2001) on a recent trip to a van park. This time we found that both interior lights did not work, although power points and exterior light were ok. As one of the bulbs was almost black, we thought it must be the bulbs and replaced two! The ceiling lights still did not work.

Re a previous question ton turning on the interior lights. I examined the canvas sleeve which is sealed by a Velcro strip. There was no plug connected to the wiring which was unbroken through its length from the roof to under the sink. The wiring under the sink was connected by screw on contacts. However, there is a push on / push off switch on the exterior lip of the van roof which would seem to operate when the van is wound up, presumably to allow the lights to operate and automatically close the circuit when the van roof is wound down.

Are you able to help with our interior lighting problem please?
Thanks!

We have just bought a Jayco Penguin 2004 model, but we don't understand how and when to use the battery and electrical power switches that are under the table. when charging the battery from an electrical 240v cord point, should the switches be up or down, to charge the battery?
Also if running lights on battery power, should the switches be down then. We don't have a manual, to refer to and cant find one on the net.

My penguin has been parked up for a few months and we left it wound up now having trouble lowering it. Any advice?

Do you have to lubricate the lifting cables?
