But the numpties move the drifter panel to behind the pillow end in the far corner of the bunks FFS!

Where's that post from big Col where he hoped his van wasn't built by " idiots"?

What the............... I made sure it was marked where the drifter was going to be. As I heard some muppets move them to stupid places. Very useful there. Did they offer to swap things around?
Could they put the Drifter where the power point is on Stove side.. Put a internal power point behind the Microwave. Then fit a 12v plug on Bunk side?
Also under the double ours take up less space.

No idea why the vent is there on ours its above the stove??


Also maybe gas not down the rear as the new Annex crap? both that and bottles you could get done yourself later if you got $'s off to pay for it.

Yeah thanks Dave I moved the bottles on the Expanda and redid the gas work myself getting it certified by a licensed plumber. No issue to just would have saved me the work. I would say the vent got moved for the same reason as the window, too close to fridge exhaust for regs.

All vans have a vent above the stove

Not the Starcraft 17.58 it's now above the bed. Maybe they have deduced that the most dangerous gases in a caravan is the sleeping male and it's installed for flatulence?

 

[davemc]

Be a nice cross breeze from the door vent while sleeping not

So you have to climb into the bunk to check the drifter panel - cool.

I like the splash back idea :encouragement:

Interesting found a 16.67-3 for sale and they put a third bunk in.. I know I thought of that before myself although I thought to drop the bottom one lower.. Wonder how they get in use the fridge as a ladder

 

[Moto Moto]

Looks interesting. I considered doing something similar if i ordered one and one dealer was actually keen to help, but i decided not to go ahead with it, too much customising for me.

Starting to look like a hotel I saw in Japan once

Picked up my Starcraft yesterday no real issues that I can tell so far. Dinette had 1 screw half coming out of the wall as kinda expected, so screwed it back in, doubt it will last. The other issue I had was with the TV, it worked fine during the handover, but when I got home it wouldn't work. Turned out had blown a fuse so had no power to the 12v socket and booster.

 

[achjimmy]

Great to hear mate. So you got the 18.5" idiot box with yours?

 

[halbster]

Actually it said 19.5 on the box that was there last week, so gained an inch haha.

Hey guys
You can buy extended door stops.
Maybe get one with the magnet on the tip?
Just a thought
Cheers

Hi mate you got any details? Magnetic mightn't help with alloy though.

Hi mate can you take a shot of the tv on the wall when you get a chance?

 

[halbster]

Yeah ok, it actually sits quite low, about 5mm off the cabinet. Lower than I expected or remember from the show van. Which will make it a bit hard to upgrade to a larger one down the track if needed.

Here's a pic of the tv I took yesterday. 19.5in.
