I talked to a Motorhome manufacturer production manager, who was considering making Caravans as well. He said Jayco's decision to go into 5th Wheelers was a bad idea,as they were" the flavour of the month" several years ago, not any more, for a lot more reasons than stated in the article above. Gerry Ryan has since retired from the day to day running of his Caravan business but is is now looking after his animatronics and wine business.
As it is not related to the US Jayco, he could not just import US 5vers
