That looks pretty cool! I wonder why they offer different products in Australia...
Because Jayco in Australia is not related to the U.S. Jayco. The Australian founder Gerry Ryan, was a friend of the US founders, has bought parts from the U.S. Company, but is now more Euro focused in inspiration.
Bit like the Australian "Winnebago", not related to the U.S. Company. In both cases products of either could not be bought outside the U.S. or Australia.
That has changed with the retrial of the AVIDA verdict. Now ANYONE can bring in Winnebago products not just the Winnebago approved dealer. A loss for Winnebago in Australia. AVIDA can use the Winnebago name when it wants too, with a disclaimer the product has nothing to do with the US Company
This photo sums up that difference
