Oh yeah - AntiFlap Kit!l.. 'Course!
Nothing wrong with Jayco - we loved our Swan and the Expanda we still have now. Trust the Starcraft will be even better
Bet Sarah's just as excited about the washing machine as losing her thongs.. I'm certainly not gonna be missing my time in the laundromat once the new van's sorted!
Happy travels this weekend

Awesome stuff mate! Looks like the dinette seating colour is the same as we have just ordered for the 18.58.1, Cadel Charcoal top and bottom. Disco will be in its element pulling that monster bud. Congrats

We will buy some scotch guard and keep the kids away from it

Did you get a date on the 18.58 as yet? Excited we can get ours straight away
No idea where I park two vans though

Great work, bigger and better !!

Good on you @davemc, very exciting times for you guys. Very similar layout to ours. I can recommend a great spot for the diesel heater

Youve put a lot a labour into this decision ... well done. Thats certainly one way to get that stinking tv antenna working. Beaufort is in the way back from hand over too. Win win. Are you going to plonk one of the kids on the couch???

 

[AzHaych]

Yeah @davemc we have the 9th of Sep as pick up date or 18 more sleeps as my 6 year old just told me tonight, counting down each night (shes making the waiting worse).

The dark coloured couch is perfect for you guys.
