yes we have a Q200 fitted under the bed. Pots never used we done mainly BBQ and Pizza's. Have a plate for cooking eggs etc. Have seen a few roasts done although have not done one myself. You could get a little two burner if you wanted.

Hi @davemc Baby q or weber q? We have five in our family. I have not gone and looked at them yet

2A & 3 young boys in our van and have always been able to get by with the Baby Q (with hi-lid)

 

[Fabulous]

We got a baby q for the van before the van arrived, but use it at home as well

 

[McKenzie]

Yes sister last Christmas got me a portable two burner.so will take that. I'll have a think about weber. its more about timing

 

[McKenzie]

Good news. The van has rolled off line and has been transported to the dispatch depot. Yippee

Just waiting on email confirmation when it will be loaded on to a truck to sunny QLD

 

[Dobbie]

Exciting!

Glad to hear all is progressing as expected.

Definately recommend the weber.

 

[davemc]

not long to go.. saw a 17-58-3OB on the back of a truck today heading north

 

[McKenzie]

Thanks all

Yes on track which is great.
Hope to hear about transport soon.

Thanks Dave...OB would be nice to

 

[McKenzie]

new update, we will be heading up to do handover this Thursday. All on track from Team Jayco's end. Very grateful to them for what they have done to date. The van is even a little early! Which is great from our holiday planning perspective. I have burnies delivery checklist printed off, although I'm sure Team Jayco have done their defects throughout the build.

So everyone in the family is getting excited

We have a big map of Australia printed off at A0 size hanging off the wall at home. Just got an idea. we need the same map in the van so we can show kids where we travel so far. perhaps a bit smaller size.

Woo hoo, so excited for you! Hope you keep busy this week so Thursday comes by quickly. Can't wait to see pics.

 

[McKenzie]

First pic from dealer. proposed location of reverse. Also this is the wheel clamp I'm getting. Jayco bundy dealer organised it for me. Looks the business.

 

[Dobbie]

Oh....so close!

 

[McKenzie]

Good morning......excitement is now set in. Woke at 3:30 this morning and tried to get back to sleep. In theory there's one sleep left before we make the 4hr drive north.

Last day at work then home to pack the car:biggrin-26:

After about a year of deciding to get a "Caravan" that is a pretty big deal for me. I thought getting a camper trailer was a big deal. Glad we didn't. To have a caravan is really great.

Everything has gone so well. Could not ask for better.

 

[McKenzie]
