Just interested to hear from those that have a UHF, what brand it is and why you chose it. We have two Oricom handhelds which we chose because of the deal on offer and theyve been great and we have a car mounted Uniden which we chose because just about everyone we knew had Uniden and its been excellent.

I was told by a Jayco Sales person, that these vans, the earlier model, did not have an insulated roof, that they had to squirt foam into the wiring runs to stop the looms rattling. Does anybody know if this is correct ?, a bit of a poor show if it is. Apparently the new models now on sale have insulated roofs...
