SETTING UP THE FREEDOM IS
ABOUT AS EASY AS IT GETS.
swivelled around for easy(ish)
access to the facing seats or
rear passenger chair.
This entire seating area
folds down to create a bed at
nighttime. Now, I won’t lie to
you: because the mattress is
comprised of a combination
of the folded-down rear
passenger seat and the softer
cushions of the lounges, plus
a couple of matching infills,
it’s not the most comfortable
bed in the world. Setting it
up, however, is a two-minute
job, tops.

SUMMING UP
Jayco hasn’t reinvented the
wheel with the Freedom
campervan. Nor has it
deployed innovations or new,
unexpected technology. But
I don’t think Jayco set out
to. Rather, the company has
put forward a good-value,
no-nonsense campervan that
should be a faithful companion
for many, many years.
No, it doesn’t have the
convenience of a large caravan
or cab-chassis motorhome.
But it has a lot of up-and-go
appeal and it is as easy to
drive in the city as it is on an
outback highway.
