JaycoQ's 20.64.1OB

[pauljygrant]

A few mods done at 1st service. Doors into front and back tunnel and pigeon hole to bunk. Note different coloured trim waiting for correct colour to arrive.

The pigeon hole idea is something I was planning on incorporating into a wardrobe I'm currently building in the back of the Basestation - what trim are you going to fit? I was hoping to source a pre made box or similar to recess into the wide wall of the wardrobe but haven't found anything suitable yet.

The pidgeon hole trim is a standard size and premoulded, the service department did the cut/install while the van was in for a service. Maybe worth checking with local caravan joint to see wants avaliable.

Waste pipes now run to a single 40mm outlet

Hi @JaycoQ. Just wondering if you would have a photo of the space between cabinets on the door side and the slide out when it is closed. Mrs @CrazyMOBB wants to know we can get through without opening it out. TIA

Hi @CrazyMOBB there is a gap but too small to squeeze through. Opening the side by about 6 inches gives enough room to get through, can be done with the cover on. Will take a pic tomorrow.

I've got the 21-64 and am able to squeeze between lounge and cupboards when the slide out is in. Not sure if the gap is the same and I need to stand on tippy toes, but it is doable.

I replaced all my plumbing, but the last pipe is like yours, a single 40mm outlet combining sink, basin, shower snd washing machine. Ive tested it with everything running. Been using it for 4 weeks so far and works very well. Not sure why Jayco persist with the ridiculous 3 x pipe jumble.

Thank you @JaycoQ

@JaycoQ, for the washing machine, do you still have the standard hot water? The specs for the machine suggest a 70 litre cycle - is the hot water unit enough?

Hi Straydingo the washing machine is only connected to the cold water.

 

[straydingo]

thanks.
Did you have any issues convincing jayco to build the cupboards like that?

No issues building the cupboards, it was a no cost swap instead of the bunk. But they would only supply as a shelf across the full length. My dealer supplied a piece matching timber and I partitioned off the washing machine cupboard.

Hi @JaycoQ, me again.
We're currently looking at the 20' and particularly like how you've done the washing machine, so I'll probably come back asking more questions
But for the moment....any problem getting it through the main door? I forgot to measure that at the show yesterday so not sure which particular door size they go with - but even with the 622mm wide door, it must've been tight?
I assume its also bolted in place?
thanks

Our 3kg Sphere is around 420mm wide

thanks @Crusty181 ....but wanting a real washing machine

(where abouts in Mentone? I've over near the footy oval on Nepean Hwy in Parky)

Hi mate the main door was OK, managed to get it through, but I spent a lot of time at Harvey Norman measuring. Although most are a standard width it's the depth that counts. Went is sideways being careful of the controls. Once inside it slid across the floor on a piece of carpet. I did have to remove the channel that accepts the concertina door.
No it's not bolted in, have checked after a number of trips and haven't found it to be a problem.
Have you decided/ordered yet?

 

[straydingo]

thanks @JaycoQ
I didn't think of the ol' turn-it-side-on trick till later :doh: (Namely once I saw a Samsung 450mm deep 5.5kg unit )

We're a long way off ordering yet - only really started discussing since our summer trip, and went to the cvan show yesterday. We had a few too many changes being considered for the std salesperson, and they had to go find the Vic Sales Manager for us Looks like most of our changes are possible.
We have three teenage daughters (please stop laughing) and fitting them in starts to get hard - one won't share 'her' bed end and scared of heights so won't go on the bunk, and they're all too big for the bunks really, all too scared to go out into an annexx etc etc.

And then there's having the means to pay for it - we'll need to save for a bit....

We're actually in Parkdale, but no-one knows where that is so we just say Mentone (or sometimes Mordialloc)
Our Sphere is surprisingly good. Cant fault it really.

We're near the same oval .... must be almost neighbours.
