I was looking at the Jayco website and notice that they have moved the fridge and microwave forward now - I have a 2014 16:49-1 with club lounge.

Did they move the fridge forward to improve stability or was there another reason ?

Thanks

Hi @Janbo,
Yes they did have it forward but now have reversed it so the bench is directly behind the dinette with the fridge towards the rear. Hopefully pushing the fridge to behind the axel took some of the weight that way. At least now if you are standing at the sink or oven, the bench top is directly behind you. This change happened in June as the one that arrived for the Brisbane show was done this way. The web site still shows the older layout.

Where is the Aircon now... mine is above the sink? I do like my club lounge though.

Hi @Jambo,
The air con is now in top of the TV Cabinet just inside the door on the left as shown.

And if you haven't seen it, this is the kitchen layout.

It's better than the original 2015 16.49.1 but not sure why the change. The L shaped lounge in the prior models was extremely popular.

The L Shaped lounge was the reason we bought the Expanda, we were looking at a Coromal Transforma and although it looked better quality we really preferred the lounge in the 16:49-1. We have great poker nights with 6 adults seated at the table
