@achjimmy Lots of photos will come Thursday 
Yes was told the wheel is mounted on the back not the bar. So yes will have to see.
@cruza driver HWS on the show model was under the double on the kitchen side and there on my plan as well.
Where it is on Thursday who knows.

I prefer hopper more for if it rains also kids with sliding windows
Yeah the rain would be the benefit, but kids trying to undo those latches could be an issue. Open area would be simalar I think.
Buffet next to Dinette was missing on 16" as well. And beds smaller it's only 30cm bigger to 17"
With windows when we hired the expanda we kept hearing Zippers and laughing from other end of van. We said you boys touching zippers which we received more laughing. So yes I know they touch whatever window they can.

Seeing we put a external shower under bunk I have a feeling the HWS could move on ours find out Thursday
Doubt it Dave, they'll just run the hot and cold up to under the bunk to the shower point. Then you'll have this abomination of hoses in under the bunk where they push back from the outside shower point
You can see Iam not a fan. You'll be right just not the neatest setup for something totally a couple of hundred dollars.
Don't worry I know they leak.
Never had mine leak, been all good.
Jimmy reading around seems they do not put the clips on the John Guest system. Wait to we get the van and check.

Have a long list of things I have seen go wrong which I will try to counter act if I can.

Correct but having used those type of fittings for 20+ years in pneumatics/automation etc and never had one come off Iam not inclined to bother unless there is a way that the JG fitting could get bumped or knocked, then they might be good insurance.
under the bunk and the bed. Will throw crap in there.. So will look to do them for sure.
At least have the van home for a week before our trip in case we run into anything. Although will not be able to open awning have like 80cms

If the HWS is under the main bed then that is one major problem fixed over the 16. There were many isues with the 16 model, for mine the smaller front bed wasn't one of them.
For me the issues with the 16 were around the bunks. 1. Fixed bottom bunk window due to HWS (i was told the HWS would not fit under main bed). So glad they fixed that one. 2. the height between bottom and top bunk were too small for mone. But i looked into a display once closely and felt i could raise the top bunk by about 100-1500mm pretty easily. Would just partialy block the top window though.
Not long to wait now @davemc . Very exciting!

Yeah the HWS is right at the front corner. The bunk is still a tad low, but I managed to climb into it which was no mean feat. I figured having a teenagers it could be a good place to brood and sulk! But your right Moto wouldn't take much to raise and as mentioned I tried to get a trifold to no avail. I will also be looking at taking the top out completely as we start to travel with one less kid, :biggrin-26:
@Moto Moto Reading on here I think the window was fixed during the 16.67 year as was the bed.
The low height of the bunk well yes I can get in there just. Two year old got a while before he complains.
We almost brought a Avan Lily the bunks where higher as the walls where higher, that is why the microwave is up above the stove not on the ground like the Jayco. Setting up the main bed every night from a couch would of gotten old soon though.
@achjimmy Yes I would of loved the setup from the 17-56 with bunk setup with table and trifold. Really the -1 sleeps 7 although seating for 4 inside. Also I noticed a few secondhand ones they removed the back wardrobe and drawers and put a fourth bunk in there
