2012 Jayco Conquest motorhome raises the roof

The 2012 Conquest's exterior also includes colour coordinated trunk doors, double glazed Dometic windows.

It also comes with a range of new layouts, a new fibreglass nose which provides the motorhome with improved aerodynamics and more storage space.

The 2012 Conquest's exterior also includes colour coordinated trunk doors, double glazed Dometic windows and new graphics on the motorhome's side. 

It is available in four sizes (6m, 7m, 7.3m, 7.5m)  with prices from $96,000 plus on-road costs. Jayco manager Bruce Astbury says there has been "a slight increase" in the price compared with last year's model.

 "The slight price increase is a result of the added/upgraded specifications made to the Conquest," he says. It comes with the slide-out gas bottles, slide-out generator and double external power point for al fresco dining. 

Inside, the Conquest has received a makeover with a larger shower room, larger fridge and larger aluminium bed frame. On the safety side it now features a rear-view mirror-mounted reversing camera for negotiating tight camp sites. 

Updates have been made to the decor, such as new Baldacci cupboard door handles and the addition of internal cab blinds in lieu of a cab surround curtain. Astbury says the updates to the 2012 Conquest range is evidence of Jayco's commitment to innovation. 

"Even though the 2011 Conquest range was hugely popular; we didn't want to rest on our laurels,' he says. "We are always looking to push the boundaries.
