When the roof is down the caravan is 2550mm high so lower and more aerodynamic for towing. Perfect for storage as it will fit in garages or storage areas without taking up too much space.

The pop top roof is the key to the interior space when it’s up.

With a simple wind up system the roof can be lifted to increase internal headroom. It feels much more spacious than a fixed roof caravan of the same size.

When up the extra height opens up the living area so more room to stand and move around especially for taller people.

The wind up system that raises and lowers the roof is not only practical but also improves ventilation inside the caravan.

When the roof is up there is better airflow which is important for comfort during warmer months.

This means the space is well ventilated, reduces humidity and improves air circulation. These are important when spending long periods in a confined space.

The pop top design is also part of the Jayco Journey’s versatility. The ability to raise and lower the roof means you can have a more customised living space depending on your needs.

Whether you’re carrying a few bits and bobs or more gear for bigger items the interior of this 13ft caravan can be adapted.

And the pop top is built to last so it can withstand the elements and be functional for years to come.
