Thanks guys, no trips yet besides the mad dash back from Mildura. Slept in it in the backyard with two very excited kids last night. Not sure if they were more excited about the new van or not having to share a bed like in the expanda. Heading to lake conjola for two weeks over Easter to hopefully iron out the kinks before we head off end of June for a trip up the centre and down the west coast. The tow ball weight on the plate is 136kg with a max of 180 something kg. Which seems strange with a gvm of 2440. I always thought a ball weight of 10% was ideal. Been packing all our things from the expanda in there and am surprised with how easily it all fits. Tried the bikes on the rack today and all went well so very happy. As most of you know they are always an issue, so to be able to put two on the rack on the rear and not have to think about them again until you want to ride them is a great solution. They do stick up slightly above the roofline but considering the amount of vehicles driving around with bikes on roof racks, I dont see this as a an issue. I forgot to take some internal photos so I'll try remember tommorow.
Mate that's a great result. I wasn't game to ask for a bike rack and rear spare for fear that they'd screw it up and I'd not get either. I d love to see some shots inside is there any mounting brackets on the inside of the cupboard? I was only looking at the weekend about still mounting the bike rack there. I guess the only downer is it will kill a review camera?
Unless your loaded it right up check your ball weight your self. I can't see how they come up with 130kg either.
Good luck with it, there a great layout

Yep, good chance e will cross paths Soaring, we leave 22nd Jun. Hope to see you out there.
2015 plated, Expanda.
Achjimmy, No, the basic stereo, that's the drifter control panel. I'm happy with its location and prefer it there rather than I the side if the fridge were they normally mount it. It wasn't by request, just got lucky I guess.
Thanks Cruza driver we are very happy.

Drifter I thought above the bunk was the best place Jimmy
You know I saw one at the show recently with it there No idea why they keep putting it there.
Yes storage under bunk and bed. Double on gas struts. You can get the panel moved if you ask I would guess.
Our model is older where sink and stove are reversed

Congratulations, nice looking van but then I'm a bit biased as we have a -01 on the way as well
Yes heaps of storage under bed and double bunk as davemc stated. It's not the first time I've heard of the drifter at the end of the bunk but I think it comes down to the luck of the draw.Its a bit tricky not being able to deal with jayco directly and trying to get everything done through a salesman, in saying that we a very happy with ours. The only thing the factory missed was an extra annexe light on the offside but halls fitted it for us prior to pickup. The guys at halls were great, they were considerably cheaper than any other quote I recieved. Definitely worth a call.
