Golf Bush Challenger or Jayco Swan?????
« on: June 05, 2012, 10:11:23 AM »
Hi,

We have been looking at purchasing a Jayco Swan for sometime now, but now have recently come across the Golf Bush Challenger, just wanting some feedback on which one would be the better purchase.

Thanks  :D

I saw both together recently. Both look the goods. I loved the open airiness of the Golf.....

If peace of mind in after sales service were a concern, I would go with the Jayco. A huge national network of support and a decent warranty to boot. Not sure which would have better resale, bu Jayco hold their own pretty well there too.

Definitely go Jayco - 3 year roadside assist, 12 month warranty, life time warranty on the winch system, and Australian owned. Also great aftermarket support nation wide. I also looked at Golf... and could not go passed Jayco.

Looked at the golf before we bought our swan OB, the golf looks (IMO) like a poverty pack with substandard fittings.... like comparing a Indian TATA to a Ford Focus.. I know what I would pick, oh I aready did...

Gday Megsy.. Boy what a decision! We looked at them both. We got the Jayco. We had warranty issues,only relatively minor, had no problems at all with Jayco they were great. Even fixed some things i didnt see,,,  :cheers: Phil

I once owned a Golf, which had faults too numerous to list, then the entire independent suspension assembly tore away from the camper body whilst driving. Definitely go the Jayco.

    Please have a hard look as to where your choice of trailer can travel.... with regard to warranties ect.    READ the fine print carefully.......Off road don't always mean ..off road.....Just my POV....
