Here's a pic of the tv I took yesterday. 19.5in.
Thanks mate. Yeah is a bit low. Oh well just wondered if there might have been a chance to sneak a bigger one in at pick up. The factory did knock us back on the 22" .

Yep Dave Bed lights are still down the wrong end. We didn't get the drifter so no issue there.
Went looking for the external gas bayonet as I hadn't seen it and thought it was meant to be on the drawbar, but its under the van right next to the door. Not sure if this is a good spot or not.

Has anyone asked for the interior night lights that are in be expandas ? I did a factory tour today and the guy said they were standard on the Expanda, but not on the Starcraft. He suggested I get the dealer to put it on the order form, he also mentioned that the factory is happy to do it. It has the same wiring and all.

Halbster you also got a power point on the side cupboard (near tv) that was omitted from ours ? That must be your bench GPO and if you get the standard fridge the GPO over the cooktop for the microwave must be GPO in that floorpan?

Not sure Jimmy because I don't think I've ever seen one with a standard fridge - apart from yours :). From memory I've always seen a power outlet there next to the tv. But I think its what Dave was meaning by needing to run an extension cord across the new sink location to be able to run any appliances on the stove top cover when the stove is not in use - that's really the only bench space for a toaster or kettle etc.

Now, where do you guys store your external table? We've got one of those plastic types with two bench stools inside. Where should we carry this? Just on the floor, or on the bed? Don't think it will fit under the main bed haven't checked yet.

With regards to the reading lamps on the main bed, our dealer confirmed that ours will be on the door side of the van as per plan that was given to us prior to sign up.

They've also confirmed that we can get the night light (as per expandas), just needs to be on the work order. I wasn't aware of the night light until yesterday when we did a tour. It's the main lights in the roof, instead of the off / on switch, it's a 3 way switch that has a dull blue led / off / bright white - looked pretty good. Might be useful with out little girl in the future.

Has anyone ordered a Starcraft with a bike rack ?

Yep, we got the bike rack also, if you go back a few pages on this thread there is a pic of it. Didn't know anything about these lights, but sound cool.

Power point yes only time I have seen them next to fridge is if it's the 90l

You could run a extentsion lead up under cupboard to keep it high. Not sure I want it down sink level.

Your stove is our bench top I do not think we use it much if at all

Yeah that's what I have seen as well. I was keen to get one behind the stove like we had in the Expanda but I thought I wouldn't push my luck and would do it after wards when it goes back for some warranty or another.

Fabulous not to be a killjoy but the switched bed lights were on our plan too, additionally also on our worksheet! It's straight forward and the dealer should be able to swap them easily enough. Just bitch and moan about the left over holes and suggest they cover them with a couple of extra 12v points?

yes Jim, expect to do that, all we can do is refer to the plan at time of signing, as well as the email confirmation yesterday as well as time and date of phone calls. We're still a fair while away - hopefully they will sort it out by then.

Hopefully they get it right for you? And they are NOT needed to be moved.

How does the bike rack go with the number plate - the pic provided does have a number plate, can you still see the number plate with the bike rack up / down ?

Ask Moto. You can't get bike number plates in NSW for vans. So to be legal you need to relocate your number plate and light I think.

Yep it's blocked, you'd need to move it right to the bottom of the van, which will leave a few holes.
