Video Review 2015: Jayco Silverline

The new Silverline is a handsome looking van, with its moulded fibreglass front, smooth walls and flush windows – an image befitting its top tier status in the Jayco range.

It’s always interesting to note just how much space a slide-out offers in a caravan. But, in the case of our BAV vans, it’s also interesting that this was the only van which had a slide-out. Apart from anything else, slide-outs give flexibility in layouts, and alternatives to the standard front bedroom design become more practical.

Measuring Up

I liked...

• Front club lounge
• Spacious interior
• LED lighting
• Wall/roof design
• Gas cylinders on slide-out tray
• Recessed kitchen/bedroom compartments

I would have liked...

• Less fiddly door/drawer catches
• Full window curtains
• Better table mounting
