I don't think the missing window will be an issue @davemc
I seriously looked at this model back when it was a 16 and I really like the airflow from the lower wall height on this model. The air flow (and view) from the flaps up high more than made up for the lack of windows to me.

We looked back when it was a 16" as well. Before they increased the bed size. See how much difference it will make just wish they actually told us after we signed off plans. not just find out here. Really there is more info here then Jayco website.
I assume they will not re-do both the virtual tours.
Wonder what else they will change..

Yeah you right mate, was wondering what made it feel so open to me and it's the lower wall height . Yet even though Iam 6'1" I don't have an issue with the ceiling height, was plenty high enough. Was even in it closed up and could manage.
Given the overall height these things sit now on the new suspension I think its a good thing, Iam always watching for tele poles and overhanging trees now.
But after hopping in and out 2-3 dozen times I did collect my head on the door in the end! I can confirm that the door padding they use is ineffectual
And I wont be doing it again.
Yeah a lot of the ones made late last year had the bed larger, not sure how they got the extra 12cm's.
We could not find one at a dealer around locally with the bigger bed and they all said the new one would be a 17".
The bunk bed are also longer in the 17" and you get the buffet
Okay that makes sense. Geez shorter bunks. I can just fit in the 17's so shorter would be no good. I measured the bed in the 17 and it is pretty much standard double. So if it was 120mm wider but no longer that would be a pain for Manchester would it? (I don't know about the domestic don't be rude, I'd just use a sleeping bag if I had my way)
From a plan that was on here with rear bunks. We measured the rest on a 16" when we ordered the 17"
we talking 10cms.. For us it made a difference for the double bed.
Double 17" 1320x1955 vs 16" 1200x1955
large bunks 1850x700 vs 16" 1748x700
small bunk 1557x700 same in both
Moving from a 16" to a 17" you get an extra 10cm on double bunks and double bed. Later models had the bigger double, not sure what was moved to get the extra 10cm's
Buffet is 30cms so on that side not sure how they got the extra 10cm's maybe dinnette or robe smaller.
@Swerve has a 16" with bigger double maybe he can tell you what the bunks are in his?

nice I still wonder if we should of got one although four kids I really wanted them all separate.
We did get external shower and a porta potti although I see years of 2am runs to toilet blocks coming up. Might put a tent under awning did not get annex we thought see how we went. Just brought AFK kit and two shade walls from eBay.
Even though you could put two kids on dinette we rather have the option to split them. Will try twins head to toe although do not think we get through a night
Also thinking do I get a mattress on floor next to bunk as a trundle.
And yes parents bed up one end away is nice put kids to bed up non door end

nope have not got a picture yet. There was sliders at the show.. Although who knows.
The kitchen window, well they did a year of the 16.67 and then did the first run of the 17.58 then changed it. You think found beforehand. Will see on Thursday. If I remember reading first run of 16.67 had fixed lower bunk window so as mentioned they changing it all the time. Wonder what you will get after you order

For those that were interested I asked about making the bunk a tri fold as per a 17.55-2 Expanda and the dealer thought it a great idea but the factory said NO. Wouldn't be a hard mod yourself I think. Was just thinking towards traveling with one kid.
Will be interesting to see yours Dave and what other changes are made? Did I read somewhere the spare is on the van now not the bar? Also if they delete the kitchen window whether the power inlet goes back towards the centre or they keep it at the front?
