Greetings all. Just joined and hope to pickup heaps of tips and tricks for my camper.

Just purchased a Jayco Swan OB, dont get it till Feb, so have a fair amount of time to research what mods to make.

Thanks GG. Been reading for a few days and have found that there are a load of jayco owners on this site. That 's what pulled me in.

Probbably should have joined before purchase to ensure i knew what accessories to add, but no biggy.

Welcome to Myswag Shimple  :cheers:
Feb aint too bad, the demand for them now as we turn for summer is quiet high but im sure the wait will be worth it. Like you said plenty of time to prepare a nice mod list and if you have any questions in the meantime ask away, we are always happy to help  :cheers:

Cheers again for the welcome.

Got a call yesterday advising that i had to pick interior colours. When purchased, the salesman advised that I would be getting the 2012 model and new colours. Problem here is that the new colours have not been released as yet  :-[....

They are getting back to me with a release date. Will start a new thread once she calls me back.
