Thanks for the info, we are awaiting the delivery of our second van so we have the experience of the last one and the points that you shared as good preparation for our next van. Like you we found that Jayco Quality Control is pretty non existent but they do fix things without argument. Jayco Canberra fixed everything we asked them to and also some things that needed doing that I hadn’t picked up on. Tip for any Jayco owner though, carry a pack of slightly bigger screw, Jayco seem to like using screws that are too small..

I would have thought it being a new caravan that it would have to go through the testing station to get an MOT or in New Zealand it's a certificate of fitness or warrant of fitness (which certifies it as safe for the road & brakes would definitly be something that is checked. These tests are normally carried out every 6 months-12 months depending on age. I believe in australia they don't do this other than when the vehicle or caravan is sold. They also are required to have an up to date electrical certificate as well as a gas certificate. I think considering your confined living space these would be good checks to have done whether you have to or not. Apparently the A'Van 555-3 has a 1 piece roof & unique wall system with a lot of european appliances & accessories. I really like the Jayco Journey outback 16'. For me would be a toos up between that & the A'Van for touring Australia.

We built our own van from 1" x 1" 2mmm box section it was clad with 20 gauge aluminium sheeting. It was a two axle dog trailer which towed really smoothly. No sway. We fitted it with boat windows which were very good quality and very heavy. The axles were very heavy and very strong which made it very stable at high speeds. We took it into areas that normally people wouldn't go. It was so strong. We had it for decades and nothing ever broke simply because it was so strong. We made our own cupboards out of 3/8th ply. Not pretty but highly functional and durable. We bought a normal full sized gas stove which was very high quality. You couldn't break the bunk beds because they were so strong. Nothing ever cracked simply because the rigidity of the frame was insanely over built. There was very little or not much torsional flex in the chassis. Even the door was super strong and durable. It had a normal house lock which in those days was very high quality and durable. We put down 3/4" in ply for the floor and quality lino which shrunk but never wore out. Some discolouration yeah but again high quality. My guess is you'd get 40~60 years out of it. The problem these days is everything is so flimsy. There is just no quality any more or most things these days just fall apart. Most vans I've seen just don't have enough strength in the frame. Maybe they don't have a frame. We'd drive past trees and rip a huge branch off. 😅 Also it was high off the ground. No issues traversing river crossings. Every other van the water would pour in if you tried to cross a river. It was crazy how tough and durable it was. Anyway, sad to hear about your issues.

I think that you’re being very generous with Jayco. Their build quality overall is very poor which leads to many of the issues you talked about.

Good video. Washing machines are cheap but building them in like that is plain stupid. Your not the only person to have a leaking washing machine. The cheap catches are an issue on our van too. Heavy reliance is placed on silicones and sealants which fail or have a limited life. So I have been remasticing areas. Your hot water system failure issue is a critical safety concern. Thanks. The brakes are pure dealer negligence. It is a basic NSW rego safety check that the van should be jacked up with the wheels off the ground and the electric brakes should be tested. It is also in my opinion a basic owner responsibility to do the same at least annually and to check brake operation and to know what the van brakes should feel like when they work. Ie adjust the brake sensitivity in the tow vehicle and you must be able to feel the brakes operate as the caravan pulls back on the tow vehicle. Any one who tows a caravan should be basically competent to test and operate the articulated vehicle in a safe manner. If you don't understand then you as the driver should find out. There are too many smashed caravans on Australian roads because the caravan drivers are not competent to operate them. Thanks for posting.

Hi, Don't know whether anyone can help or have had a similar problem. We have a 2019 Jayco Journey 22.68-2 we are the 2nd owner of this caravan and weren't told the 5 yr manufacturing warranty is not covered if you are the 2nd owner only the original owner is covered. We have an issue with our east/west bed and lounge slideout, the slideout comes in with no problem but going out is a big issue as we have to help it go out by pushing otherwise it stops half way. I have called Jayco head office and their suggestion is that we always put the bed up when putting in or out then put it down for travelling but thats to hard with our model because the club lounge (also on the slideout) goes fully into the kitchen cupboards which means we then cant get to the bed to put it down, Jaycos answer to this is to stop the retract of the slideout until we can fit down the gap to put the bed down, then bring it fully in, then again when we are extracting we stop it so we can put the bed up then continue to extract. Has anyone had a problem with their slideout please and if so can you tell us how you solved the issue. Thanks Jocelyn

I've owned a Concept Belmont for 5 years and lived in it for 4. I would have to disagree that all manufacturers have problems. I've had problems, but not one with the build quality of the van, only with the crappy products, ie dometic etc out of China that manufacturers have to put in the vans to compete on price. Had failures with 3 way fridge freezer, hot water systems (on my third) ceiling fans, water pressure valve, window blinds and so on. But the build quality is fantastic for the price. On the other hand my first van was a Jayco and the set of drawers between bunks broke away from runners on my first short 20 minute drive to a Tow-ed course, and within 6 months water had leaked inside side wall and under bed. Sure, you can say ok for the price, but why put up with the frustration when just a little more would make a huge difference.

Thanks for the video. We purchased our 2017 jayco outback 19.61 near new still under warranty. Thanks for the tip on the water heater. We also had an issue with our tow secure and keeping the system powered up. The 240 volt charge unit was defective. Charging system from vehicle not up to keeping battery charged. Two batteries later we not have the system linked to our house batteries. Overall happywith our caravan . Have found it to be important to keep onto of maintenance as build quality is to a "budget". We have had a roof leaking issue which hopefully is now fixed. Bouncing the caravan on shingle corrugated roads shakes the caravan a fair bit. We have learnt that it appears the build quality is the same for all the 19.61 caravans so the outback has the heavier chassis but the van itself no t a heavier build hence the need to watch wetherproofness cabinetry etc if you are into wilderness places. Overall happy with value & performance

We've recently purchased a new Journey Outback and I can totally related to your video and the comments below. Whilst we haven't had any show-stopper issues, the overall build quality is just rubbish - Especially the internal carpentry and fit out. I've replaced so many screws because the hole have stripped out; Lots of screws driven in at bizarre angles; trimmings poorly fitted or falling off. I suspect a lot problems could be prevented if the factory workers at Jayco simply turned down the torque setting on the screwdrivers.

@@christhomas4260 full articulation for off road purposes. Also if you unfortunately flip your caravan, the car has more chance of staying up right. Safer and a lot easier to use. Worth every penny in my book 👍

mate... having breaking problems are unacceptable... we ca not compromise the safety of our family members.... lets look at driving down hill, its raining, your fully laden and all of a sudden, you have to do an emergency braking... what happens next... Jayco should be held accountable for proving faulty products.... they have been in the business for so long, and still, the craftsmanship are below standard....disappointing,.. brand new caravan... Quality Assurance personnels must had a huge pay cut.

Congrats guy’s on getting out in our beautiful big country! In previous Vans I’ve owned especially if you are going to live onboard for extended periods it’s “Worth getting underneath your Van” and protect exposed cables/hoses etc, also getting high quality sealant into every access point that comes into the interior! As suggested Liquid Nails and spacers on areas where particle board has been used in construction! Consider replacing any fastener and circlip with best quality available! Enjoy your journey!🇦🇺🦘

Obviously they did not test it well. And it looks they only design and make caravan but never really test and use it.

Sue Clemente thanks for watching! They were the main issues, all our other issues are very minor, joint strips coming off, silicon joints splitting, suspension creaking, melamine peeling, small cracks inside and out appearing etc.

Im seeing the first three of these as being whinging, rather than anything. The splashback issue must have been obvious, you've never cooked before? Maybe learn some basic blokey skills and sort it out for yourself.
