The Optimum range recently added two slide-out sections to allow the bed and dinette areas to expand about 55cm.
It is available in the 8m Fiat Ducato FA26.2 from $165,000. Now Jayco has added a double slide out to their Sterling caravan, priced from $61,000. At the push of a button, both the bed and the dinette can expand or contract, providing extra room to move when you arrive at your camping location.
Other additions to the new Sterling Slide Out's interior is the choice of five leather upholstery colours, aluminium furniture construction, a 150-litre fridge, and Italian styled door handles, a new square vanity basin in the ensuite and energy efficient LED lighting.
The Sterling's frame is a combination of aluminium bonded with ply and a fibreglass skin, and the chassis is hot-dipped galvanized. Jayco marketing director Andrew Ryan says they have seen a rise in the number of orders for the slide out feature in other models.
