Nice looks just like mine

Is that a weigh Bridge? If so what numbers did you pull?

You will love it some new threads now on this model.

Looks great, 5 months you must be wrapt it's finally here , ours has been 4 months and still no word on delivery. I'll have to call the dealer this week. Have you got a shake down trip planned?

 

[dagree]

What a fantastic looking piece of equipment
Keen to see the inside colours etc.
Looking forward to your shake down report and thoughts on the van once used.

All you need now is a Prado in front of it

Nah... I think @17triton said it much better when he said:

Everyone knows a 17.56.2 being towed by a Pajero is the ULTIMATE set up.... isn't it?

Either way, what a great setup and can't wait to see the adventures in that bad boy!

Congrats as everyone has said inside pics please Although I do not think they change the inside like each time I see a pic of our Starcraft they changed something.

Great stuff!! We getting the same van and towing with a pajero. How u go with the weight?

 

[Petecaz]

Shake down trip is to Clare in SA in a few weekends time. Paj towed it well, at 100km/h; was a bit worried as it weighed 800 kg more than my jayco freedom I had before, but the expanda towed like a dream. Inside pics tomorrow, although its pretty much the same as others. Weigh in was pretty much correct by plates if I added the weight of the full water tanks and full gas bottles.
Handover took 2 and a half hours!! Dealer was thorough though and checked everything well.
Now to put all my gear in it....

MMMM I can smell that new van smell from here

Congratulations and enjoy your travels, but don't forget to share them with us

Hi carpanda, I have a ns paj. Had to get the van replated to 2500 kg but kept the old plates for when I get a new car ( wont be for a while). Tare is 2150 and ball weight is 200kg... They are a beast of a caravan. 100 mm higher than the 2013 model.

 

[carpanda]

Wow, how do I get the van replated? I'm confused as the salesman said it will tow fine with our 4wd.

Just ask your dealer, ours was only to happy to do it for us and said it wasn't a problem. If you ordered the 17562 ob then chances are it will have an ATM higher than 2500kg. Then your dealer will be forced to change the plates as they are not allowed to hand it over if cars capacity is lower. Nothing for you to worry about, just make sure you mention you car and the vans atm when jayco ring you to let you know it's handover time and ask them to keep old plates for when you get a new car. They got my new plates delivered from Melbourne overnight.

Oh okay thanks @Petecaz
