No, it probably will be sail track, but to me it's all plastic. As long as I don't have to use the old shopping bag, I'm happy.
Passionfingers new 20.64-1 OB
- Thread starter Passionfingers
- Start date
So we are now on the Sunshine Coast after spending a few days in Hervey Bay. Took me 3 1/2 days to drive from Adelaide to there, thru the nasty cold snap weather, 2 full days of rain- and no repeat of the leak yet.
Overall we are loving the 20.64, but finding it hard to find parks that have room for us unless we book weeks in advance, which isn't for us this trip, the only schedule we have is the departure date back home.
Found a few things I want to change on the van - all minor, mainly electrical additions- so all is good!

We've upgraded from a 16.49 to 20.63. In 5 years, 35000km we never came across a park we couldnt fit in. The 20.63 isnt that much bigger than the 16.49 with its wings out. But your van is trully a huge unit. A van seller years ago told me 20ft is the mythical number, after which you start to struggle finding a home. Looks like he may have been on the money
Being the tight ass I am, I think it is a conspiracy by park owners to make me pay extra- like the last site where the "only" sites left were ensuite sites- yet for 3 days I watched at least 5 powered sites vacant for the whole duration of our stay.
The dealer should do something to fix it for you as it is a known leak apparently. (Although I assumed , wrongly, other people meant it leaked either from the top or thru the vent bit). At least we found it was from the slide out awning.
At least a makeshift fix is easy enough. Got to love plastic bags sometimes.
i have the extended draw bar on mine, however mines the 21 foot version and it came with the mesh??
Well after 21 days away on the east coast we are home and heading back to work to earn the coin for the next big trip.
Overall, very happy with the 20.63 on the journey, 1 drawer latch, the leak and some trim that was caught by the slide out being the only casualties. I did discover that I cannot get any water into the rear tank, so that will take some investigating around the plumbing and the breather.
What I did learn is that the Pacific highway, will one day be a great road to travel on, but currently with all the roadworks, was not the route to take when trying to get back in a reasonable time.
Averaged around 15-17 ltrs per 100ks with the BT, sitting on around 90-95 kmh for the majority of the trip, except for the last day where we upped the ante to get back to Adelaide from Forbes across the Hay plains.
