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.

With age comes wisdom. Oops, sorry, can't back that up...

...

Oh, welcome fellow Jayco camper.....

huggy · 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

Enjoy it out there

Welcome to Myswag, hope you enjoy your time on here.

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.

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

Black Diamond · January 30, 2011, 08:46:52 AM

Welcome aboard mate, enjoy your stay its a great place

and to the JAYCO/PRADO club, there is certainly a few of us around

Looking forward to seeing some pics, it sounds a beauty and so does the Prado

cheers
John

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

We set off on saturday morning and we got to a ski park near foster and decided it was going to be the coolest we were going to get.
It was 34deg but it was on the water so that made up for it . I only took one pic as i was to busy
