Hi all
so i have this unit that was sold to me as a late 80's tardis but things just were not adding up! been repainted, could not find the vin plate!
same layout as a tardis from the 85 broucher but a wheel on the back and dose not seem to match other pics i have seen of the tardis,
well been looking around and also people with sugestions and would like to know what is with the jaco! when were these made i now think it is a jayco tardis
anyone have one of these?
pics welcome
thanks

Not sure I totally understand what you're asking but it may be worth you posting some pictures of you're unit if you're trying to identify it.

Hi,

According to the Conway brochure: here
it's a Jayco Conway. So why are you surprised, Conway imported it.

You should be able to create a seperate folder to put these pics in and set it to 'public' (I think) and you can set your other folders to 'private'. Or something like that.

If you search on Jayco, you will find youtube clips and various blogs on how to maintain / repair the lifting system.
