How to SETUP and PACK DOWN a JAYCO SWAN

- Alex from Jayco Canberra shows us how he would set up and pack down the 2024 Jayco Swan Outback camper van that is built for offroad camping and touring. The process in the video assumes that you have levelled the van, unhitched and put the stabiliser legs down. The setup is pretty quick once the van is off the car. Packing up is slightly longer, but still not very long at all. Most of the time in a pack up is cleaning and putting your belongings away. The pack up process in this video didn't include locking up the picnic table and closing external shower. If you have any questions please leave them in the comments.
Check out our full walk throug of this vamper van on our channel.

Don't forget to turn the internal lights off before winding it down.
Correct.
Yeh I had one for a few trips to caravan parks - not terrible. Took it to the cape and sold it immediately upon return. Difficult to get in to the fridge mid trip for food if I had forgotten to put anything in the car fridge, utensils etc, front seal leaking and letting in dust and rain so had to duct tape it up every morning, fridge also being absolutely woeful on 12v which was a wiring issue from new. And as mentioned by @jeep2701 the bag awning adds so much time and aggravation. Also great to set up or pack down in the rain as your pushing the wet canvas on to and over the bed ends... which leaks through so you end up with a wet bed.
If I were to do it again I'd have just bought the full size bunk van straight up, or if funds dont allow get a second hand hard floor camper and put the kids in swags under a gazebo or awning.
If you just want to stick to Big4s then maybe not so bad.
Yeah minimal internal access when it's packed up. If money wasn't an issue we'd have gone for a poptop caravan. But as a starting point, the Hawk was perfect for our budget.
It’s the awning that drove me insane when I had one
Yeah the bag awning was a slow point. I reckon the wind out would be the go!!
And the bed end flies. Packing them up in the rain is no fun
Give it six months and it will take longer, it’s not a criticism just real life reality……….we had one did 5 trips and went to Jayco pop top van before moving onto full size semi off road van. They are definitely for the younger brigade and this who want more Offroad access.
As in things sag, stretch, and go out of true? Or you get sick of doing it and slow down?
They are the perfect starting point for young families. We started off with a Jayco Hawk touring model. We loved it and it took us to so many places. But after a year or two we upgraded to the 15ft Jayco Journey OB bunk model. With anything though, it's your belongings that take ages to pack up. The van itself isn't too bad.
Where's Ledbrook?
😆 gone caravanning
2024 and still not an electric winder??
Electric would be over complicating it and would a lot to the price tag. The winding up part takes no time at all.
So cumbersome especially in the rain. And no warranty on unsealed roads. Only on bitumen. That’s a big miss for me.
Great starting point to get in to the van market IMO. Not sure your point about the warranty is correct. We drove ours on dirt plenty of times.
Nope these new ones are better then the 22 swans
There are some nice updates
Good way to burn the camper down with the lights still on just saying
Good pickup. Probably should have clarified, pack down was filmed first. We packed up, then set up again straight away. I changed the order in the edit. Wouldn't recomend leaving lights on long term. 😆
