    Split system in a Jayco pop top

    I am getting some info together, My neighbour has bought a Jayco swan off road camper and is in the process of installing a split system aircon in it. I have to say it is ingenious what he is doing. I will get a full range of photos for you and show you how it is installed.

    So watch this space if your interested in how he has mounted it, it will be a few weeks

    I'd be interested to see that. I'm currently doing up a similar type of camper trailer - it's a home made one built years ago by my father in law, and was styled on a Jayco pop-top. He did a good job of building it, but the undercarriage was way too light and running on Mini wheels and suspension. He used to tow it behind a Torana. I've just put a complete new chassis and draw bar under it, plus leaf springs and 14" rims with light truck tyres. Should sit a bit more level behind the Disco now.
    Cheers .........

    I helped the old man put a split system in his van, they were wanting $2000 plus just for a caravan unit so he decided he'd just buy a standard split system for $300 and fit that instead. It works a treat.

    he just had one there where the outside walls were screwed to the cupboards and there was no reinforced mounting points fitted at all... i kid you not... talk about land rover having bad quality control...... blew me out...
