This Company Roadstar had their Caravan rated against a current Airstream in two separate RV tests. Getting top marks for build quality (same as Airstream) but beating the Airstream in finish and tow ability.

These people (Southern Cross Caravans)are making their own independent suspension with airbags for their Off Roader.

Well when Gerry's done over there, send him back here to spruce things up:)

A Lot of modern Caravans (travel trailers) are starting to look like this, so I guess any new 5Vers will resemble this style.

Wow, the Australian versions are quite nice. Amazing how different they are from their a North American counterparts.

Probably because they know that Aussies won't put up with the junk they sell here. Most of what they sell here would fall apart where they travel. Heck some of it falls apart where we travel.

Jayco Australia is not related or a division of Jayco US, so 5th Wheelers quite different. Australian Company buys some common parts to cut down costs from Jayco NA and Gerry Ryan worked for Jayco ! Before he came back to Australia to start what was a basically backyard operation.

Big problem when US 5th Wheelers were introduced here, build quality and internal physical appearance. So many had problems, from a relatively small number sold, that impacted negatively on the concept of 5th Wheelers.
