Good luck with your new van, very exciting.
Thanks for the info, we have now moved on and ordered a Kedron, but still like the layout of the 16.51-3 it looks like a nice van.
Regards
Terry
Went and had a quick look at the new van the other day, all looks good.
Getting pretty excited now, pick up Tuesday at 1pm. Can't wait.

Yep there is going to be a few of those.Restless few nights ahead
Thanks mate hopefully they fixed the 2 problems we saw and all should be good. Fingers crossed.
3 hours to handover, wish i had some more finger nails to chew. Might have to start on my toe nails.
Pic's will be on there way shortly, sorry folks, by the time family finished crawling all over the van i was due for bed.
Sunrise at 6.44am in Newcastle tomorrow. We can wait until first light...!
So what's the news? You mentored in another thread there were some issues? Nothing too serious i hope
We have found that the bed is not sitting right, off to one side so the locating bracket sits up pn the side of the timber frame, the double power point with usb charging point isn't fitted to its location (not installed) and with a bit of investigating i have sent an email off wanting to know why we couldn't have 16" rims. We were told they couldn't carry the weight so had to have 15" rims. There where more pic's in the email showing the rims are identical to look at but the 2 that count most are below the email.
Van goes back tomorrow to get bed fixed so we can use it. Power point, they are waiting on stock and will fit it then along with new towel rail which has a bit of a dent in it.
Below is a copy of the email.
Please find attached the pictures of the Journey with the 16 inch rims in question. As you can see from the pictures the rims the first 3 pic’s are of the Journey and the last 2 pic’s are of our Starcraft. The rims look identical except the ones on the Journey (16”) have a larger capacity. Journey 1100 kg, Starcraft only have 1000 kg capacity. The 16” tyres also have a larger weight capacity. Journey 1090 kg, Starcraft 1060 kg.
If you can let me know why there is an issues with fitting the 16” wheels it would be greatly appreciated. As you are aware this was one up grade we really wanted done when purchasing the van. As we have said we are planning on going away shortly all going to plan but would like to get this sorted as soon as possible, preferably before we leave.
Our Starcraft has an ATM of 2229 kg which puts the rims over capacity by 2229 kg’s,
Remove the 181 kg ball weight from the ATM leaves 2048 kg for the GTM,
This would indicate the rims are still carrying 48 kg’s over their max weight.
These figures have been taken from the documentation supplied by Jayco in Victoria.
