The Jacob Discovery 21.66-4 Outback meets a number of conditions and is expected to be one of Australia's most popular vans for years to come.The most popular size is 21ft 6in (6.6m) long. In addition to the bed and central dining room, there is a private bathroom for the rear seat preferred by customers.
Discovery is not a new line of products from J.C.O., but it replaces Journey, which once replaced Discovery. Journey and Discovery are the most cost-effective models sold by J.C.O. Discovery ranks above Starcraft, which is very affordable and suitable for caravan beginners.
You can also choose 'All Terrain' to enjoy off-road and off-grid.Discovery also has a luxurious appearance, various convenience specifications, and a reasonable price range.
The slide-out version of Discovery 21.66-4 has a living room located at the top and a kitchen on the opposite side. If there is a strong wind, you can fold the slide. In the case of inviting guests, a sufficient space is provided through the slide-out function.
The price range is 92,990 Australian dollars (about 100 million won) including slide-out function.The tolerance weight is 2450 kg, which is approximately 90 kg heavier than the model without slide-out. The basic type is $86,990 and the layout is the same. As a result, fitting a slide-out function creates a much wider interior living space.
Jacob is expected to produce 22,000 to 28,000 caravans in 2025. It is still Australia's largest single-brand producer of caravans, campervans and motorhomes, though some distance from record sales in 2022 and 23, when COVID was at its peak.
The Jaco caravan has a great simple design. The bottom is made of polyethylene terephthalate or PET plastic. The roof is integrated glass fiber, the frame is aluminum, and the power system is the basic specification. It is a particularly beneficial feature for novice caravan drivers.
PET flooring is resistant to moisture, so you don't have to worry about rotting. The alloy frame is also light and sturdy. Additionally, lithium batteries and inverters can be purchased.The outback pack has enhanced external protection with the JTech 2.0 suspension and allows the body to be raised higher on the ground thanks to the independent trailing arm suspension.
If you choose the Outback option, it's useful for traveling a little further. If you add a water tank, you can stay and travel in remote areas.
For towed vehicles, the maximum braking traction capacity of 3500 kg should be considered. This is because the weight of the Jacob caravan tolerance is 2450kg and the maximum braking weight is 3050kg.For comfortable towing, it can be towed with the old Toyota SUV Prado if the load is limited to less than 3000kg.
Ford Ranger is suitable for models with a towing capacity of 3500kg and a GCM of 6350kg. Even if the Discovery 21.66-4 is towed at full weight, the Ranger can carry almost a ton more for fuel, load, and accessories. The Ranger is one of the best-selling pickup trucks in Australia. equipped with a wild track 2.0L bi-turbo engine.Some of you may be wondering if this small engine can tow 3000kg, but it's actually possible.
Discovery 21.66-4 has a rather dull sense of road driving. It doesn't go too high on the ground, so there's no rattling when cornering. There was no shaking at all even when driving at high speed.Another advantage is that the Sway controller is installed as a standard.

A luxurious black sink and tap kitchen make it attractive. Microwave is also installed, but it is not suitable for taking out hot food.The bathroom is elegant. There is a washing machine with a capacity of 3.3kg attached to the bottom of the rear seat next to the toilet. It also has a large 224L refrigerator equipped with a compressor that can operate at 12V or 240V.
Small 200W solar panels are optional for the roof. The 100Ah lithium battery can run the aforementioned refrigerator and lights for a day or two.Two 95L freshwater tanks and a gray tank are attached below the chassis.With this capacity, you can use it for one to two weeks depending on the frequency of shower use.
With the optional power pack of Discovery 21.66-4, you can use it without problems with charging small air fryers, coffee machines, and laptops.It comes with an additional 2000W inverter, two 120Ah batteries, and a 200W solar panel.The power pack can also operate the roof-mounted air conditioner, but it cannot be used for a long time, so it is recommended to use it only by connecting it to the main power source.
The 2025 Discovery Caravan, which cost about $3,000, has been reborn as a more valuable van thanks to its larger refrigerator and battery. The exterior also gives a more stylish and modern look.
The new discovery with the outback package is great value for the price and has a good chance of becoming a bestseller in the J.C.O. range. The price is reasonable, so if you're new to a caravan, I recommend buying a model from J.K.K.
