Our Camper

(2012) Our 'As New' 2008 Jayco Swan Outback


After a quick-fire 23 Trips (in just over 2 years) we 'upgraded' our Camel Discovery to a 2008 Jayco Swan Outback

We found it just too difficult to manage in the Camper Trailer once Lauren started becoming more independent . It had always been our long-term plan to upgrade to a small van.

 

After our first trip, we sent the van to the Auto Electricians to have additional 12V and Anderson Plugs added for our LED Lights and Evakool 60 Litre Fridge.
