Love it!!!!
And it even has sea legs....
The fabric choice and bench top colours look great, we are getting this in our exactly the same so good to see it!!
When's the first trip??
Thanks expanda the 1st real trip is a week n a half away at Easter but we might need to sneak a couple of nights away the weekend after next just because we can we were supposed to get away next weekend but my young bloke is competing in a triathlon (team event with his mates) so we better hang around for that
Well done Capt Gadget, the 16.49-3 OB are a beautiful van our Amanda the Expanda has the same layout and fabric colour as yours. Yeah I was a bit surprised to see the extension cable hook allowing the cable to hang directly over the HWS that was poor on Jayco's behalf.
Anyways mate congrats on your new baby and I'm sure we will see some great stories and pics of her getting used nicely.

Congrats Gadget, the wait was worth it.
I like your choice of colours. THe power cable issue is just like jayco, they think of an idea, but don't think it through.
Enjoy the new toy, looking forward to more pictures.

Ok here are couple of more pics of the Interior used the SLR this time so the colours are a little more true to life, drilled the first hole in her today (to fit the brackets for the Antenna) and must admit it was scarier putting 6 tek screws in her than drilling a 90mm hole in the side of my old Navara to fit the Snorkel! and I've drilled holes in things just about everyday since I was 15. Tomorrows project is to make a bracket for the TV, a mate has an old TV bracket I can butcher for parts as I have an Idea on how to mount it but can seem to find a bracket anywhere off the shelf. Pics will follow.
Jayco certainly do things in a haphazard manner - our 16.49-3OB has the hook for the power cord on the left as you look at the van, so that the cord does NOT hang over the heater flue! In other words it is located where it should be......
Cheers
Bill
PS Congratulations on your purchase - we love ours - just don't use it enough yet - hoping to do Darling River run in July......
Hi Bill Yeah I thought it might have been a "oops we put it in the wrong spot moment" I'll just buy another hook and put it where it should be
