Great Camper

published

Absolutely love it. Tows great, Easy to erect, good quality build. Fits in the garage out of the weather. We added a few upgrades like drop jack legs, battery pack, windgard TV antenna, a frame tap, black Rhino roof racks, mud flaps, and so on would highly recommended it.

Good Bed in a box

published

I have had my JPod now for 2 years. I am unable to use it very much as I am unable to erect the tent. I had had tent poles replaced by Jayco & still now have bent poles. I was told by Jayco that it is easy to put up just watch the video. Ha ha after putting in the 4 poles the tent then stands up ON ITS OWN
Does anyone have any answers as to how a single female puts up the tent or is there another tent available that would suit
I would use I more if I could get a tent
I
The pod is in my backyard & is being used as a spare bed for visitors, a very expensive bed

Never buy Jayco

published

Bought the van new and built to our specifications. Motorised roof didn't work, motorised awning didn't work, television antenna didn't work, sound system was positioned in such a way it was unusable (we are a couple in our mid 60's). Contacted Jayco customer service manager who stated "there is no problem". WHAT???? Television antenna eventually repaired. After two years I contacted the Dept of Consumer Affairs who compelled Jayco to take the van in which they did. The boys at Jayco Newcastle were great, repaired two major faults they identified. We are now travelling the outback with a van that almost works as it should, however the awning continues to jam and the sound system remains inaccessible. NEVER buy Jayco.

Quality and functionality

published

This is the best midlife purchase I've ever made.
Fantastic customer service and after sales support.
The quality and attention to detail has far exceeded my expectations.
I wish we had of purchased the jayco Hawke when my children were smaller but still the four of us find this model to be very spacious.
I love it.

2010 Jayco dove- cheap fittings

published

Hi - is anyone having issues the same as me with their fittings inside newer model jayco camper trailers?
My jayco Dove 2010 has ridiculous curtain attachments that don't slide along and are forever falling out of the slider pipe.
The silver pop out cupboard and drawer handles are always stuck shut and won't open.
And I hate the square short water tap....
Not like the lovely old gooseneck style in my 1980 jayco Dove that pumped beautifully.
I've just installed an electric pump as it takes ages to get the water to come through.
PS. Very impressed with reply service from Jayco themselves advising where to buy new parts and fittings.
Pity the product is crap in the first place...

Roof won't wind down

published

I have a problem with my Eagle Outback 2004 > I can wind it up fine, but when I wind it down it only goes a short way down and then the handle mechanism becomes totally loose (no tension at all the and handle winds very loose) and the roof remains up (approximately 80% of its full opening height). Luckily it is in my driveway at home and not out remote.
Any ideas what the problem is?
Otherwise, my Jayco has been great, travelled Cape York no problems at all!!

Perfect van to tow in all facets of conditions

published

Bought a Outback Jayco Hawk in Nov 2015. Just retuned from a 5 week holiday to the tip of Cape York. Being our 3rd Jayco van this surprised us with the suspension in corrigations, water, sand and bull dust. Retuned with no damage and absolute minimal dust inside. Well done Jayco

Great time away at Wilsons Prom!

published

Arrived in middle of night. Nonetheless easy setup in the dark without having done this before. Took maybe 45 minutes overall, including parking the van. Then we woke up the next day to the beautiful panorama of Moubt Oberon when opening the curtains. It was raining a little at the time but no issues for us as we just flicked on the internal stove & cooked up a nice breakfast. Very cosy feel. Easy to tow van. Pick up & drop off worked beautifully. Very nice owners. Will definitely do it again as prices are reasonable, however, minimum retail periods can be a problem as they are sometimes quite long.

Our Swan from Jayco Mackay -

published

Received our Outback Swan in March 2017 - 3 trips away and love it immensely.
We have had some Very Minor issues, drawers not unlocking, top of door locking mechanism screw broke, and the bed end screws slightly loose letting it be a bit sticky pushing bed back in. These things where rectified without any issue by Jayco Mackay. (they also fixed my fiamma Awning swivel leg attachment that I broke free).
The 15 year old loves having a big bed for going away and the 7 year old loves her (dinette) bed. The wife loves the simplicity of the set up and pack away and NO fights have happened - Unlike the camper trailer experiences.
Thank you Jayco Mackay for making the purchase of the Swan very easy and pleasurable from start to delivery .

Outback Finch Problem

published

We have a 2007 model Finch Outback. We like the concept and the inside space but have a problem with it collapsing either when being wound up, or even once it is fully opened. We have had to repair it 5 times now partner is a retired engineer luckily. Problem is with the cable and it comes off the pulley system. We now have to put lengths of timber at each corner to reassure us that it won't collapse while we are in bed. I think it is a design fault but we have not found a helpful Jayco dealer to advise us.
