Welcoming Jayco: A New Era of Caravan Adventures Begins!
Exciting news is on the horizon as we officially welcome our new neighbors, Jayco, to the vibrant West Beach community! Nestled on the corner of Tapleys Hill and West Beach Roads, just opposite Harbour Town, this multimillion-dollar caravan dealership promises to redefine the way we embark on outdoor adventures. Spread across a sprawling two hectares, the impressive shopfront boasts a showroom, offices, workshop spaces, and a warehouse stocked with essential parts. But that's not all – Jayco's new digs also offer a campervan and RV rental service, making it a one-stop destination for all your caravan needs. This monumental investment, totaling a whopping $7 million, marks a significant milestone for Jayco as it consolidates its existing sales and service centers at Edwardstown and Melrose Park. With a prime location and state-of-the-art facilities, Jayco is poised to revolutionize the caravan industry and set new standards for excellence. Here at BIG4 West Beach Parks, we couldn't be more thrilled to have Jayco as our new neighbors. We believe that their retail services will not only cater to the growing demand for caravan holidays but also inspire travelers to embark on their next outdoor escapade right here at our holiday park. So, whether you're a seasoned caravan enthusiast or a novice adventurer looking to dip your toes into the world of camping, we invite you to join us in extending a warm welcome to Jayco. Together, let's embrace the spirit of exploration, discovery, and camaraderie as we embark on a journey of outdoor adventure like never before.
