Ooooohhh yeah!!!
The tow length basically same as our 17 and full ensuite tipped us over the edge.
Should work in nicely with winter school hols.
We have two trips planned in our current van still so time should fly:D

Got some thinking time for how /where/if I can do another slide out Webber.

The 19.61 is a fantastic looking van, came so close to ordering one instead of the 20.64. With the layout and huge bed it's gotta become the best seller family van.

Hey guys we have ordered the 19.61.3 OB with

* picnic table
*bike rack (4)
*shelves to robes
*long & short shade walls
*water filter
*reverse camera & wiring to car
*drifter control panel
*light left of door
*curved roof rafter anti flap kit
*ext drawbar
*center jockey wheel
*TL package
*Lshape lounge
*bed converter
*starter pack (leads & hoses levelling ramps)
*2 nights at koala shores

I'm now thinking of :
up grading the load rating on the compliance plate.($80)
Going up to 16 inch rims( not sure if there's any benefit)

Also have been told by Jayco we can't have USB points anywhere & no extra power point near pantry as it's too close to oven. Has everyone else been told this too.

Due to pick up July

How close is too close? We asked for one next to the stove, and they placed it directly above the stove so it was moved and a matching timber piece used to cover the holes. Mrs CR hated the look of it and convinced them we needed a complete new splash back and the power point was raised. All happy now.

Looks like it's got the lot and sounds great, if they won't add any USB points just do them yourself later on, you can get the van GP points with USB at caravansplus and they are just plug an play units so no need for a sparky.
Going from 15 to 16" rims only needed if you want some more height as tyres are both common, save some money for fuel and trips and sounds like the dealer is too lazy to do any more changes to the order in regards to power points.

When you pick up your van and they show you how it all works, don't forget to pull out the wheel brace and check the wheel nuts before you drive off, may sound a bit dumb but it is not unheard of to have some loose nuts, it's always the young apprentice who gets the job..........

Looks great - we have really enjoyed our 18.65 Starcraft, with underslung axles - that has the full OB chassis all for under $500. Where are you having the bike racks ? With our extended drawbar we have a Fiamma rack on the front which makes it very easy for access and not having to lift heavy bikes above shoulders to get on rear racks - but we only have 2 bikes to carry.
What is the $80 Compliance plate upgrade ?
We have a BlueFlame for USB points - portable and we can also use it when travelling away from the caravan - charges 6 USB appliances at once - handy if in a hotel, cabin etc - it's an Apple sold product so not a dodgy burst into flames cheap device.

Chippy 79 in regards to the power point in the kitchen next to pantry....we got ours added in but it had to be certain height above the stovetop (400mm from memory but dont quote me on that). So they may be yanking your chain there.

We also went the 16" upgrade in rims due to the little extra clearance and appearance....bigger is better right? haha

We have ordered the same model and is off the line and ready for pickup in 3 weeks in WA - hence the wait

Hey ACTraveller we will have bike rock on rear as we need it for 4, the compliance plate just has a higher load rating stamped on it instead of 475kg increases to 600kg. I'm still researching if this is correct, I may have my wires crossed
The blue flame USB chargers look great-thanks

Has CaravanLand given you a pick up date yet?
