Jayco Optimum slide-out expander

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.

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.
