A belated thread on the new van. Most are familiar with the issues befalling us getting a new starcraft. Its well documented here for those that aren’t.
After a fair effort from the dealer, they got us a van due off the line in less than a month. Unfortunately it took Jayco nearly a week to despatch it to the dealer with absolutely no communication as to what the holdup was. I suspect that the van got its further mods done in the despatch area and this was the holdup but I would have liked to been told.
It arrived at the dealer overnight and was available on the Wednesday, so a quick call and arrangement to pick up that afternoon at 3pm. Inspection showed most of the mods had been done. And after mkI missing a few options, this time Jayco excelled on MkII
Our list of options with only one and half things not done
16" wheels
2X spares one front one on back
extended drawbar
extra panel (2 X 120w panels)
extra 100ah battery (2)
wind up snowflake antenna
drifter panel
roof truma
large thetford fridge
sound system
tv and bracket
picnic table
ALKO ESC extra trunk door to the rear under bunks
extra 12V at the rear.
Bed reading lights on the double swapped ends
Gas to rear of van
gas bottles relocated forward 500mm NOT DONE
I had also requested they move the awning so the arm does not block the toilet hatch, they nearly did this (more later)
So its a B+ to Jayco, would have been an A if for better dispatch or communications ;-)
Couple of shots from pickup
