Title: Hi from a new jayco owner
Post by: huggy on January 28, 2011, 04:29:52 PM: Hi there , I'm huggy. I have been looking around this great site for awhile now , i have just sold my soft floor camper to buy a new jayco outback swan . It has roof racks gas/electric hot water full jayco awnings , 2 x 81l water tanks . It is towed by an 05 glx petrol/gas Prado that i have lifted 2 inches, added a snorkle and 2nd battery .

This seems to be a common symptom of many myswag users.

Post by: huggy on January 29, 2011, 09:47:39 PM: no mods in the near future just going to use it , if i can find some 17x8 prado rims i might put them on but that is it . It has been 6 months from the last time we have been camping :-[.
Yeah i think I'm getting old as i was a cranky one after putting the last camper (21ft x19ft ) up buy myself all the time .

You might find as I did the P30 offset of the Prado rims prevents you fitting them :(

If you had of said in your introduction that you were a lesbian, homosexual or bi, you would have had 5 pages of welcomes by now, but as it seams you are only hetrosexual, be content with only a couple of pages of welcome comments.

Post by: xr4hung on January 30, 2011, 08:39:35 AM: Welcome Huggy,

Plenty of Jayco owners here on Myswag and they have been a great help to me since I sold my soft floor in 09 and bought an 2004 Outback Swan.

Plenty of experience and advice. Its great.

I notice you're a Novocastrian and bought new. I'm curious if you got a good deal locally at Hexham or went elsewhere ?

Cheers

Newcastle was one of the dearest we could have had a good deal from the gold coast but we were out at dubbo for a wedding and we went to have a look what he had , we found it had the hot water system, roof rack and a few other things and without haggling he was the cheapest

I Grew up in Newcastle (and alot of other places) my dad was a merchant seaman back in the day and that was his major port of call for the Iron Ore ships he was on.

Enjoy the Jayco mate.

Post by: Hollands26 on January 13, 2013, 04:15:07 PM: Hey huggy nice swan seems the jayco family just keeps getting bigger and bigger I'm waiting for my delivery for a expanda the wait is killing me ordered it three days ago and still got about 7 weeks to go its driving me nuts it's like watching paint dry already got so many ideas has the swan served you well
Title: Re: Hi from a new jayco owner
Post by: huggy on January 13, 2013, 06:50:00 PM: Swan has been great we don't get away as often as we would like but we have covered some distance with it . The only problem we had with it was the roof cracking in the corners . Warrenty covered it all . We are happy with it . When I get it back from getting some stuff done ill put some pics in the my camper section .
