17' Series Just ordered 17.56-1 OB today
- Thread starter Jaypanda
- Start date
I called our sales guy this morning to add extra 12volt points and he was about to call me as we needed to sign the confirmation. He said its unusual for it to come through so quickly.
So we have now completed the final signing...and the waiting begins!
I get what you mean about the storage....there is never enough with 4 kids. Just glad mine are alll out of nappies... they take up so much packing room.

Oh yeah!
True that my friends wont talk to me, but the AC paid for itself this January!
Going well , at the moment we are in Albany WA on holidays ,4 adults and 2 children and there is plenty of room for all.
Welcome Jaypanda

i have the same van and ordered a 12v and 240v point at the rear bed in the side of robe so that kids can plug in while playing in the bedend, its really handy!

Hey JP,
welcome aboard.
Sounds like your sales guy pushed for the confirmation to come fast so you couldn't add more stuff on. LOL.
Looks like a great setup though.
Cheers Deano
I think Jayco is trying to get it through by the 28th April because of the free lifestyle entertainment pack. Don't think we can afford anymore extras, so its probably a good thing. The list of add-ons available seems to be never ending....I'm sure we could have found more if we'd had more time

Congrats on your new van when is the arrival date? the waiting is the hard bit, we can't wait for our to turn up!
Thanks Scott. We were told 3 to 4 months....weren't given an exact date. Even though we are desperate to get our new van, we hope it doesn't come too soon as we can't access our savings yet! Planned a big trip for the summer holidays....can't wait.
When did u order your van? Like the countdown

Our order was confirmed with the factory on the 15th of April, I'm surprised you have to wait so long do you live in WA?
We're in SA.... wow you only have around a 2 month wait! We ordered 4 days after you
Hi JASA. You mentioned that want would have had the extended drawbar. Is this simply so you can set the van up whilst hitched? Sorry I'm new to this. You suggestbthatvalso provides extended storage space? We also have a tight turning circle at home and I'd need to work out whether the extended drawbar causes issues on that front. Thanks in advance for your wisdom!
Hi James,
Not sure about the wisdom bit
but, we do a fair bit of free camping so we need to carry more stuff and it would be good to have a storage box on the draw bar, especially for the generator and chainsaw because they stink the van out if I put them in the tunnel. I'll still do it, but it means I'll have a smaller box than I would like. I plan to relocate the spare wheel to the rear and install a storage box on the front with the gas bottles inside the box.I hope that imparted some wisdom!! Unfortunately it was something I realised after we had the van out for it's first trip and found we need more storage.
Cheers James
i have a toolbox on my extended drawbar.Hi James,
Not sure about the wisdom bit

My main concearn once the toolbox went on was turning circle especially when I had bikes on the bike rack also.
The extended drawbar just gave me a bit more clearance.
Good move. I enquired about retrofitting an extended bar at a reputable caravan repair centre in Bayswater Victoria and they didn't really want to know about it. Plus he said it would be very expensive (wouldn't give me any ideas of how much though).
Hope time moves fast for you...it's a great lifestyle
