Melbourne Leisurefest 2016

ok some pics of 19.
A lot of it is the same as the 22 although instead of a the pull across concertina door its a curtain on that same track as the bunk ones are so those plastic clips that will break in 2 mins
No place for a washing machine. for the 80cms and $5k saved I get the 22


lots of prices not so many other pics as vans not changed much

Caught up with @mfexpanda and @mrsmfexpanda which was great
Brought a ezy spit setup only.
Looked at a few vans did not mind the new Kimberly Kruiser or the Bushtracker or the 25 Silverline or 4 bunk goldern eagle.

depends which way you sleep I used to sleep up that end although the 17.58 they switched it now so who knows.

The fact I seen a couple of nice 22.68's go around $50 s/h not sure I pay $52k+ for a new 19.
If size was a big problem then yes.

Thanks heaps mate awesome effort!

Tough choice!!

It's interesting Jayco is certainly getting up there in price and a lot of other vans are in the same bracket.

The 19 I think was a big gamble for Jayco as its hard to slot between the 22 and say a pop top 17 price wise.

 

[Drover]

They are all a hell of a lot of $$$$$$$.

 

[WHHEMI]

They are all a hell of a lot of $$$$$$$.

Speaking from experiance caravan shows are not the best place to buy a van, they rely on impulse buying and telling us we'll not get a better deal when in fact you can get a much better deal at a dealers yard.

 

[peterg]

The trick is to ring around before the show and then......haggle...

 

[Tim Roberts]

This is my first post so I really have no idea how this is going to go. LOL. Was very interested in the prices that are being advertised at the Melbourne Show. We just signed a contract for a 17-56-2 today and we are expecting delivery on the 16th December 2016.
We purchased it from Jayco on the Gold Coast.
Our package included:
Outback Expanda
150W solar
Basic Fusion package
Wine guard antenna
19.5 inch TV and bracket
Picnic Table
Coast Control Panel
300mm A frame extender
Shelves to robe
Storm Covers
Two extra Power Points
Total package: $51000
Seems buying at the Melbourne show may not be the best value after all?? (noticed on the photos it read $53990 for practically identical package (external shower not included??))
Thoughts??

 

[davemc]

now they have prices up online that matched base price at show. I say you can haggle with the dealer.
We where crap first time around better 2nd time. Be ruthless next time

Yes the 19 will be for people who do not want the extra length of the 22 although want a sep shower/toilet compared to the 20
Or someone who wants a full van compared to the 17.
From Jayco website using touring. its roughly 40cm up each model apart from 25 Silverline is a 70cm jump.
17.58 7165 $39,401
19.61 7545 $52,373
20.63 7945 $53,737
22.68 8313 $56,997
25.78 9035 $78,902

 

[BigSkiddy]

$2790 for 'enhanced graphics' ???
What is that?

 

[BigSkiddy]

I'd definitely go the 19 Starcraft if I was in the market for full height van.

fancier stickers down the side really worth the money NOT

 

[Drover]

Someone would really pay that much for some stickers that are similar to a WW1 camo pattern.......................actually any stickers

 

[davemc]

I think they where there so they could take $3k off the price easily. See its cheaper now.
Triple bunks extra $756 now on this and 22.68 pretty sure they where no extra before?

If i had paid for "advanced" graphics and i showed up to pick the van up and found that the table and hatch were plain white like that i would not be a happy chappy
