Title: Greetings from the Gold Coast
Post by: discomac on October 15, 2016, 10:08:36 PM

Hi all,

Just joined the forum and wish I'd done it years ago!

We are Noodles and The Scotsman and our progeny, aged 6, 8 and 17. We have had an Ezy Trail camper since 2014 and although we love it, we hate the setting up and packing up time, and decided after a very wet trip in December to buy a caravan. After hours of research, walking around caravan shows, going to caravan dealers and looking at every kind of caravan, we decided to get a pop up camper instead. We ordered a Jayco Swan Outback in August and are patiently awaiting its arrival in early November.

I know that Jayco are not loved by all and I'm sure we will have to spend a bit of time modifying it to toughen it up a bit, but we are confident we've bought the perfect camper for our needs.

We are hoping to get it out for a night or two before the next school holidays. Our first proper trip will be Coffs Harbour ( Park Beach holiday park), Cathedral Rock National Park, and Washpool National Park. We can't wait and the kids are beside themselves with excitement.

Thanks for reading if you got this far, and I look forward to getting to know you all and asking lots of stupid, annoying camper questions.

Oh, and we tow with a Discovery 3 TDV6.

Welcome to myswag.  Congrats on the Jayco.  They are a great camper.  Sure some have an issue here and there but when you sell as many as Jayco does, that is to be expected.  Look at how recalls Toyota have had but they are still the biggest car manufacturer  ;D

Happy camping

Hope you have many happy adventures with your Swan. Getting new campers are definitely worth the wait!
