From just a little bit of reading I've done they were pretty dinky fifth wheels, but there were still very few suitable tow vehicles to pull them. It's no wonder they fell flat.
Absolutely nothing to do with it. Tow vehicles and lengths were fine, Diesel Utes and that IVECO are perfect for towing the Jayco 5vers without a problem Everything else had a problem :( Large 5vers would disintegrate where Australians love to tow their Caravans
I'd be willing to bet most Australians camp in parks just like most Americans. And FWIW, since I was a kid I've camped in fifth wheels and travel trailers in the national forests of the northwestern US, which involves plenty of travel over rugged terrain. I've yet to see one of them disintegrate.
If you're wanting to turn this into a rugged terrain bragging party, please bear in mind that I live in Idaho...
They do not take them anywhere off road like here. A National forest is not rugged terrain , they are just normal dirt roads. Large 5vers have disintegrated , suspensions collapsing. So people go to Off Road Caravans instead. Australia is not the US and Off Road RVing makes up a large part of activities . Many Off Road areas bigger than the whole State of Idaho. It is hard to get an idea if your are from the US or Europe
