Jayco Journey 13.42-1 Outback

This is the first video I've ever made and was filmed after a morning's kayak down the Towamba River; as you can see I dressed up for the occasion :-) We love looking at other people's videos of their vans and they've helped us a lot to work out how we wanted to set up our van. So this video is designed to be a detailed run through of our Jayco Journey 13.42-1 Outback poptop caravan. It's a fantastic little van that's packed with loads of great features.

"The Rainmaker". love it. Great video, me and the wife bought the same but we have the Jayco 13.42-2 (double bed).

This is fantastic! I’m going to get one. Startred by looking at the campers with the beds that pull-out either end but what a pain to set them up, and they have almost zero storage.
This van has SO much storage and isn’t much heavier than the camper trailers.

Great first effort and some nice mods too! We have a 13 as well and we have done a bunch of things that I’ll share on a video maybe around July. Thanks again and I look forward to more adventures from you guys.

Great video
Good job for your first vid.
Love the way you have set it up and all the little extra wiring jobs.
I’m definitely interested in that van, however maybe 🤔 the other bed option
Thanks enjoy your travels

Great video! Had all the info I was after, might have also sold me on a 13ft’er.

Thanks for your video my wife and I got great tips.

Great video. You have sold me on the 13 footer. Not too big and not too small. It seems ideal for what I want- small enough for me to tow on my own with an easy set up. I was thinking about one of those roll up ensuite tents which attach to the wall. Your ensuite is a great idea. Thanks so much for the inspiration.

[mattjones]

Well done on your first video !
Good thorough explanations aswell.
It was just like listening to a neighbour or a mum or a friend....very natural.
And your other half is a bit clever i reckon...well done both of you and thanks for the video

We have a 22 Jayco Starcraft 13ft and love it, just spent a 4 full weeks in Tassie. We have bought a Kings 2 mtr x 2.5 mtr room that fits under the awning and makes life very easy with the extra room. We did have a big leak from the seem at the front of the roof but easily fixed with Silicone spray apart from that no issue. Yes storage is fantastic and thanks for the tip on the fridge great idea. We are removing the seat in the back left hand corner and having permanent toilet put in with wall and vinyl to the roof. No oven, Air Fryer is an absolute must have.

Hi Melisa, well done on your first video you are a natural. Love your van set up and many happy travels for you both. Keep going

[DagenhamGilly]

Hi Melisa, I enjoyed your video, we are just about to dip our toes into the caravan world and toying with a camper trailer or caravan like yours. I wondered how to over come the caravans with no toilet or shower and was unaware of the type of set up you have. Thanks and keep it up posting your videos.

Thanks for sharing. We just ordered the same unit. Mike Canberra

What a great video. You have done a wonderful tour of your van and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Andrew has done some great mods and I cannot believe the space and storage available within that little van, as you say a great van for a couple. I see so many people on YouTube spending their life savings on buying a massive van to do trips away when not needed, and then they have to update their towing vehicle because it cannot cope with a huge heavy van behind it. That looks a lovely spot and you have a great setup. Thanks for sharing and well done. I have subscribed and look forward to more videos 👍

[AndrewThompson-zl]

Great vid, cheers. Have you sold the van?

[symeonduckworth]

Hi, great little video. I’m getting my 13.42 in about 6 weeks. Can you please let me know what size diesel heater you fitted, 2 or 5 Kw? Thanks in advance.

[SNG-tfly]

Hi, I note that you have since sold the van, however, we have the exact same van and based on your experience with the Joolca, we were going to purchase one also. One question with the shower tray, just curious how you lead the sullage hose out of the shower cubicle. I ask as I can't see any provided opening in the base of the shower tent area in the various video's I've watched. Am I to assume you just cut a hole in the mesh? Cheers.

[craigcooper]

Hello guys. Do you have any information on the “water saver” device you fitted?W
Where did you buy it and how hard is it to fit? Thanks

[Deemac]

Hi, lovely little van. Can you tell me what you tow it with please?

[lesleycaron]

Noticed you have listed the van for sale. Just wondering why?
