Hi all I know this is my first post so a little about me and my dilemma
We own a 2008 jayco swan outback with all the fruit
But the quality is rubbish from the electrics to the timbers used well most things anyway
We accept this as they are cheap... you get what you pay for
We are now looking to upgrade as one thing that has driven us nuts is worrying about the weather and when ever I go camping it rains. If you have to pack up and it's raining the beds get wet in the swan and you have to put it up within 48 hours to let it dry out.
We have also found the canvas used on the head and feet area is very pourous and as me and my wife are not short we normally wake up to a wet pillow and wet fit.
So here is why I'm on an expanda site
we are looking at the expanda just wondering do you have the same water issues as above and how do you combat it if you do ?
The quality issues is really not to big of an issue as I just fix the problems myself but it would be nice to get a van that everything is straight. fyi I went to jayco yesterday and found a heap of issues with the vans that were on sites from screw heads thats had been destroyed to locks that had not been put on straight so every time I walked past it the cupboard door opened.... These I can fix just wanted to make this statement before people started defending the quality.
My real questions
How does the expnada perform in the rain ?
How comfy is the bed we have an innerspring but we also put foam on top but doesn't look like we can do this with the expanda and the matress is split in to pieces ?
