Talking to a mate who just got back from a 15000 km round trip to the top end. He had a ripper trip but he was pissed off with the attitude of some of the drivers up on Cape York. He had checked the depth and was steadily crossing a river. The water line was six inches or so below the bonnet, and he was nearly clear of the deepest part, when a tool in a much bigger fourby came tearing down the track and drove headlong into the crossing. The bow wave swamped my mates car and pushed it into deeper water. He was able to drive out and was bloody lucky he had the air vents closed.

Haha, it's not me just reading all the armchair experts rip into a friend of the family who dared to complain about lack of support from Jayco when his 2.5 year old van had a major suspension failure.
This guy is a long time Kimberley local and very experienced 4wder and off-road tourer with various vans. My daughter and family have been on plenty of trips with them and he's a very responsible and careful driver according to them.
The independent suspension failed at a weld on the Gibb River Rd and Jayco don't want to hear about it. His posts on their site get removed so he posted on the Jayco Camper Trailers Owners FB page and he's being hammered.
He's got an Outback Swift and being hammered for driving the Gibb with it etc. why would you expect the suspension to last more than the 12 mth warranty, must have been thrashing it etc etc
I'm happy with our Outback (I tow it with a Patrol) but I reckon he's got a legitimate complaint but many of the other narrow minded owners don't agree and reckon it's his own fault. This from people who've never met the guy or know his driving habits.
RANT OVER (like how I made it Patrol related)

That's why I don't ( anymore ) do Facebook or any other social media - I can't deal with opinionated dickheads with no real idea or facts about what they're arguing about as if they're lawyers. Best of luck to your friend .
