Guys... Really how hard is it to unclip the gas bottle and disconnect the gas line to lift the spare out? Also just how often do you need to change a tyre? Not very often I would think!
Just sayin :tape:
gotta agree with you there Burnsy, if i brought a car with a spare under the floor in the boot or wagon i wouldn't complain about emptying the boot to get at it ....... i have to remove these spares a couple of times a week when we have them for service, i just slide both bottles out and undo the spare takes 2 minutes, i've never had to remove a gas bottle frame.
Also the reason ppl are not getting any satisfaction from a dealer is ...... "thats how it's made, we can't charge jayco for warranty work to modify a van from standard" if you want it modified from standard than i'm sorry you will have to fork out cash. we strike this all the time with ppl wanting things changed. someone has to pay for the work, if head office refuses, than the dealer isn't going to wear the cost.
Having defended Jayco, i'll now say their R&D department is a laughing stock .... they seem to develop stuff but do no research
here are a few i've seen .......
new camper door with a 50mm gap at top
wardrobes that hit window pelmets so won't open
battery hatches that batteries won't fit thru
putting a slideout switch on the other side of slideout so you can't reach it unless the slideout is out
putting storage hatches behind awning arms
putting windows and lights where annex track "has" to go
stupid wheel caps that need to be removed to change tyres <----- hate that one
and last but not least, top of my pops .... pantry cupboard near door that if it swings open the handle won't let main door open as they interlock and you are instantly locked out, had to lift van with floorjack to get pantry door to swing shut to open main door for a couple at a park
