Righto... So have any owners actually taken their jayco say, Up and down Fraser or on a soft sandy beach?  Sounds like they're upto dirt road type stuff no worries but I'd still like to be well setup for beach camping trips. At this stage looking at a hawk or eagle.
we used to tow an old 1970's Millard pop top caravan on Fraser Island mate, it's not that hard to do there if you time the tides right.

Saw atleast  half a dozen jayco types, Swan's / Hawk's / Dove's being taken across Inskip point and up the east coast + others set up on Fraser last week,  plus a couple of Jayco expanders and a big tandem axle New Age offroad van, none had any troubles that we saw ..

Yep the wife and i have. 1 week up at waddy's point (think thats the correct name).. in via the inland road which was some of the worst corragtions we ever had. Back via the beach.
As i have mentioned b4. We love ours. Even got pictures of us parked/camped up right at lovicks hut in 2 foot of snow.  Only modes i ever did was for 33s to match the cruiser. Just drive to the conditions. Was a 2005 dove,  i had it for 5 years brought second hand and sold it for $1,000 less then want it owned me. Not bad i think.

When we had our soft floor we travelled and camped on Fraser with some other families that towed a Swan and I think Eagle. Both OB models. We caught the barge/ferry from Inskip and went up the beach to Cathedral Beach with no issues. Both towed by 100 series LC, one a after market TD and one just a diesel.

Got onto Fraser OK.  We were on the heavy side too!
