Hi davemc 17.58 looks very interesting indeed currently looking at 17.56.2, this might throw spanner in the works. I don't suppose you know how long the bunks are? Have a very tall daughter that's one of the reasons looking to up grade current van.
Regards TerriD

@TerriD measured everything yesterday almost everything will finish tomorrow.. need to know some spaces to put things.
Lower bunk is a bit of a squeeze for a adult to get into although ok once your in.
Interesting comparing to the Avan Lily we almost brought the pop top section is larger so walls lower.
Hence everything set down lower. The Lily had microwave above sink etc.

The bunks 1850x700
The one above the drawers/cupboard 1550x700
Dinette 140 seat to seat and 103 wide..
Double bed 1320x1955 seems same size as double in other vans now

Interesting thing in the 17.58-1 is the back boot its actually twice the size as the door so will see if they can make the door bigger.
Not sure with Awning arm. I understand I not be able to open with awning connected although like to get a Weber Q in there

Hi davemc, thanks for the measurements 1850 = 6' just over, that is excellent. We have looked at the Avan lily as well got brilliant trade on current van for lily, however could not see one in the flesh at Newcastle Show and could not get confirmed bed measurements from dealers or Avan so put lily on shelf.

@TerriD We had a Lily lined up second hand they pulled out of the sale the last minute, here it was it was private sale as well at @$27k http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Carav...OP/Windsor-Gardens/SA/AdNumber=D1140102501104
There was poptop locally which sold which was older and around same $'s we now spent over $10k more ;(

Lily measurements if you want them
Bunk 172x68 and Bed 120x190 which surprised me as we fitted better then the 16.67, I think as it was not curved front.
I think the 16.67 bed was around the same there is a post somewhere here.

There is a 17.58-1 at Watsons according to trading post.

I really cannot understand why Manufactures do not have real sizes to download.
Was looking at a New Age and could not even find travel lengths.

Although I measured the 17.8-3 OB and it seemed like almost 25 cm's less then on website. Maybe they originally had the spare on the back.

Thanks @davemc your a legend, 1720 bunk too short, you would think a lot of these manufacturers don't know that kids actually grow and our whole family (wife, daughter13, son 9, kingcharles cavalier) are campa/caravanaholics so will be coming away with us for a long time yet. As for the extra coin your spending I think you will be pleased with your choice just on the better bed measurements (double at 1200 is a bit too cosy) even and cafe dining alone, kids grow quick. Our current van we bought in 2011, has traditional bunks and wardrobe across front. When we purchased in 2011 the bunk length was fine and now if my daughter gets any taller I will have to put hole in wardrobe, lol.0

 

[davemc]

@TerriD no problems.. Yes some bunks are a little smaller. The Dinnette is 140cms although if one kid he can sleep across so hope it works for a while. I also think of putting one on a small blow up bed in floor way. Behind Dinette.. Well 5 year old fitted yesterday ha ha I said you can sleep there. I also said they could travel in the boot which they said no way..

Well done davemc. Great work ! Thanks for the pics certainly on the list when the time comes to purchase the new van. Will have to find some time in the next month or 2 to go and see one in the flesh.
