17' Series New Member Saying Hello

[DPatto]

Firstly, thank you for all the information that is posted here by members.
This site gave me all the information and confidence I needed, to list the options required and negotiate a fair price.

So I've upgraded from a camper trailer too ordering a 2014, 17.56-1 OB with the lot, today.

External Picnic Table, 2nd Water Tank, Extended draw bar, External shower & Hot Water
2nd Gas Bottle Holder, Gas Bayonet mounted in A-Frame, Bed Privacy Screens, Wind up antenna
Fusion Stereo with external speakers, Extra 240 and 12v external outlets and external tv point
Coast to Coast control panel, Anderson Plug with lead to draw bar, 7pin Trailer & Water Filter.

For the awning walls Alpine Annexes will be making the walls with extend-a-room and verandah.
Very similar to the attached photo with the main wall unzipping to make a gazebo type area.
I'm looking at about mid September for delivery.
