16' Series Extended Draw Bar, ESC and 16'wheels

[Jeremy Johnson]

Hi All,

We have finally decided and ordered a 16.49-3 OB, Yippee!!. We have already struck what we believe is a good deal, and are now looking at adding a couple more items to our Expanda. Our van does not come off the line until around 6th Feb, 2016 model and can still make adjustments.

1. ESC
2. Extended Draw Bar
3. 16 inch wheels

We are looking at adding these after reading some comments on this forum. ( thanks )

Does anyone know the approximate cost of these?

 

[Dobbie]

From memory: ( sometimes dodgy )

ESC About $1000

Extended draw bar about $350

No idea of cost of 16' wheels as we didn't get that.

 

[davemc]

my old 2014 option list said 15-16 $123.75 per wheel
A Frame $247
ESC $990
Although I gather all of these negotiable

 

[davemc]

Jayco's are now I think all pre wired for ESC which brings the cost down if done while making. Afterwards they hit you more $ I think $1500
Tyres are upgrade price wish we went 14 to 15 on our touring

After market is $1300 and if you ask at measure up can be wired with an ando or prewire route
In saying that look out for specials sometimes can be had for under a 1000 and lower again for prewire

Congratulations on your purchase!
I have a 2015 Jayco Journey and ESC cost me about $900, which I thought would be great peace of mind. I would get the 16 inch wheel upgrade as wheels and tires have a higher load load rating, which I think is a benefit on a single axle caravan.
Cheers

Hi all,

I have a question about the load rating on the tyres. I checked the load rating today on the tyres at the jayco dealer, and the load rating only changed by about 30kg per tyre which means a total change of 60kg for the van. The cost is about $390' three tyres. I decided against the upgrade, just wanted peoples thoughts?

That would be on the Jayco tyres. Others have the 16s and get "good" tyres with higher load ratings which is important on a single axel van.

You will find the load rating worthwhile to check as I had to replace my van tyres as I wanted to increase the AGM capacity. I was overweight just by adding another water tank as we wanted to free camp as we traveled around AU. I also had to add an electronic breakaway unit, but already had electric brakes with 12" brake drums.

Should be more than 30kg even with there cheap GT tires? But you will struggle to get any 15"s that have a load rating adquete for a loaded 16:49-3

Hi @achjimmy , definitely 30 kg per tyre, but since then, I have been to a seperate tyre supplier and with the 16 Light truck tyres I can get about an extra 300kg in total if I buy new tyres also. About $900 in total with tyres and rims. Still wondering what to do?
