Sensational, we had a 17:56-2 before our current van, if we had kids at home we would still have it. For my money they are one of the best family vans available, you will love it

I have just spoke to experts at advantage caravan repaires about many things and one of them was fitting a camera to the van above the bed end lid strongly advised against it for many reasons they said if i want to put one mount it on the rear bar can put some bracket on it to lift camera a bit but not to be screwed into van non pop vans may be diffrent
You say fall out from gss and electric people ??? From what ?? is this from getting an annex its an easy fix

Did you find out what the total length is without the bumper?
hey Poida,
Ours is 703cm with the bumper. Removing the bumper shaves about 10cm off. The non outback was a fraction longer. Different years are different lengths. The Jayco literature is full of mistakes then you get the occasional extended drawbar or molested hitch.
Measuring the actual one we were considering buying was the safest option in the end!
