I was at the Newcastle caravan show today and the 20.64-1 OB was there. Sold yesterday but had a walk thru it and looked in every nook and cranny. Love it and can't wait for ours.
Just Browsing First photos of new 2016 expanda mouldings
- Thread starter Sturah
- Start date
There were lots of new vans today, I didn't take much notice of what they were though as I was chasing a toddler around while trying to pick fabrics. One was the expanda with the big dinette, assuming was the 20 or similar. I think the other one I went in must have been a journey. Fabric choices were pretty ordinary. Chose the one I hated least lol. Lots would match floral doona covers....just saying 
Our van came with same colours on seats and back rests both Cadel do not mind it with kids. As some of those colours will date very very quickly
Agree, was trying to choose a design that wouldn't date too quickly. And dark to hide the dirt from 3 kids! Plus wouldn't clash with the light brown wood decor or make the van look smaller than it is.
We are in the process of ordering also and agree the fabric choices are not good. We have asked to have the seats and backs in the same colour (charcoal) and our saleslady has said she'll order it that way and hope for the best. Fingers crossed!
Had a look at the 2016 full size van today, the bed end lids look good.....really good gald we ordered late in 2015, due late February too so I'll take 3rd place in the race
We weren't fans of the fabric colours last year so ordered the Charcoal with fingers crossed.Delivery day came and first thing I checked was the colour.All charcoal thank god.Dealer told us it is hit and miss wether you get plain colour if ordered.
funny, Ken said the same to me when we were there picking colours etc
I explained that if its hit & miss with the colours we choose, it would be hit & miss if I paid for it.....
we got our colours
I would be thinking the same way Bicol. I think the whole caravan industry needs a shake up. On another note; now we know Jayco have gone back to the old style hard lids, maybe we will be able to leave the privacy screens attached? Our 17.56-2 is due off the line on 26/2, after signing up in August last year and rejecting the van in November. It has been a long wait and we still have at least another month before we get it. I would like to see a photo of a 17.56-2 ob so if anyone is stalking the Jayco exit gate, can you please post a picky. Cheers, Chris.
that is what we have so should end up looking like this

I did notice one thing yesterday that for those of us who love to mount tables under the hard lids, I'm pretty sure that there is not enough room to mount these. I only had a quick look at both front and back and back is too close to the lid and maybe could be done on the front but I'm hoping. Love taking a full table.
I reckon there might be a few of us stalking Jayco!!!
One week tomorrow until ours comes off the line. We started the process about July last year, one false start with a 17.56-2, had to cancel due to our tow vehicle weights. Then when we ordered the 16.49-3, missed the last run, now we think we are lucky to get the new model, just took a bit longer than expected. So excited now !!!
Ok been in today and seen it.
New handles
new graphics new lids not like the artist impression though?
Split mattress

I'm not really up on all the lids and did not pack it up. However it does look like it will seal internally as a pose to last years external seal. Wish it was more like this

Hey Sturah, you only wish it was more like the artist impression because you've been drooling over the pictures for the past few months, give it another few weeks and you'll forget about the picture and you'll be living the dream in your new van....... I know, because I feel the same way
You probably right. BUT my worry is that they bring it out in March. This is a standout from the expandas to date and will make a difference in resale day.
I just want mine now. 10 days till it falls off the line
I did play with the handles there big but seem to operate well. Funny but that's what the boss cared about
Interestingly, there is no black mould arond the edges like there is on the full size van.... Yet to see in the flesh, but doesn't it look a little unfinished???
On second thoughts it appears the corner along the roof line is formed around from the top to the side as one piece, I suppose that one point less that could develop a leak !!
