Hi from Brisbane
« on: December 17, 2011, 03:27:36 PM »
Hi,

just joined. Lots to learn
Picked up our new Jayco Outback Hawk last Tuesday.
Planning on a few weekenders and then get ready for a trip to the Top-End next Winter.
Looking forward to reading about mods to Jayco's and Solar Panels.
Still debating whether we will need a stone guard?

Hey mate, what do you think of the jayco annex and bedflys.... we looked at them and decided to go with the kakadu as they look far better quality..

I don't have a Jayco Outback Hawk, but the photo of the skirt looks all the world to me like it's upsidedown! Flip it over, and the 'flap' should line up with the steps. Wada-ya-rekon? Possible? Or am I still pis**d?!
