Hey folks,
I've already posted a couple of times on here but now that the pressure is mounting to find a Camper I thought I better do the proper into before the flood of posting begins!

I have been mulling over what type of camper best suits my needs for a while now (as many do im sure). I think I have decided on getting an old Jayco, probably a Dove and dropping it on a heavier duty chassis and drawbar along with larger tyres and heavier springs to suit my Patrol.

Most of the camping I do is base camp style. Pull up, set up then spend the time 4wheeling and returning to camp of an arvo. I do a bit of touring but I tend to do that on my own so take a swag or tent.

I've been trying to find threads on Jayco's with modified chassis' and have found some good reads. I look forward to finding more!

Welcome Miller.

Ive been looking for a link to Burnsy's old thread on his 86 jayco rebuild. It seems to have disappeared.

He did a ripper rebuild from the chassis up.

Pitty  he doesn't seem to be a regular any more.

 :cheers:

To Myswag,
Yeah Burnsy's thread is a worth a read.
I have a few pictures of our 82 Swan that has been heavily modified, HERE (http://hairfysh.com/index.php/our-travels/our-camper.html)
I didn't do the work, the previous owner had done this.
Hope this is of some help.
Hope you enjoy your time here.
Happy & Safe travels.
