The Sydney couple has become the proud owners of Jayco's 100,000th caravan to roll off the production line.

The milestone makes Jayco the biggest manufacturer in the history of the Australian recreational vehicle industry.

And with the start of summer, thousands of Aussie families ─ from all walks of life ─ will be towing this iconic Aussie product to the beach or to the bush.

"This is an important milestone for all of us here at Jayco, and we take great pride in it," Jayco founder and managing director Gerry Ryan said.

The Wrights have been caravanning for more than 10 years and their new Destiny poptop replaces the Jayco Freedom poptop caravan they have had for the past five years.

Mr Ryan congratulated them on becoming the proud owners of the 100,000th Jayco and wished them many safe and enjoyable holidays in the years ahead.

He also thanked them for their custom and loyalty, and invited them to attend the official opening of the company's new national headquarters and manufacturing complex early next year.

As for becoming the owners of Jayco's 100,000th van, the Wrights said they were delighted to be a part of the company's history.

"I guess we're a bit biased, but we like and trust their product and after-sales service. They build good quality vans and sell them at a reasonable price. An added bonus is, Jayco vans hold their value," retired Telstra designer Mr Wright, of the outer south western Sydney suburb of Narellan Vale, said.

The Destiny pop-top van was recently handed over to the Wrights - along with a special gift pack - by Jayco Sydney principal David Carrick at his St Mary's dealership, one of the largest recreational vehicle retailers in NSW.
