Hello
I have been a lurker on this sight for a month but as we picked up our new van today I thought we had better come 'out'. We are proud parents of a 16.49.1 Outback. My wife and myself went to look at bathroom tiles and fixtures a month ago and by the end of the day we had put a deposit on a 2013 model that looked lonely amongst the 2014 models. Not quite sure how that happened as it doesn't really relate to bathroom tiles or renovations as it doesn't have a toilet or shower but I am not complaining as now I have a new big boy's toy to play with. I did not know this forum existed when we bought the van but for the last month have been reading just about every post and viewed nearly all the pictures (nightshift, enough said) and can't wait to start the mods as I have learnt a huge amount here.

Thanks Larry

The panda and forum has opened up a whole new world for our family as I am sure it will for you guys as well.

Nice van and welcome aboard Larry..... Similar story to us but we only went to have a look at and order brick pavers. Called into Jayco dealer on the way "just" to look at the floor plans in the new 2014 models and ended up walking out with a receipt for deposit on a 17.56.2 and a trade in offer for the old 2007 16.49.3.

Now waiting for SHMBO'd to start asking me when the landscaping and paving is going to be done :o
