If you take a look at the final sign off sheet I posted earlier in the thread, it has three extra hand written at the bottom,

This is what they sent me to sign off so I called them to let them know it had been left off, agreed to add it in writing at the bottom, sign it and scan back as final sign off..

Thing is on the quick chat over the phone this afternoon the person quick confirmed the three thing hand written had been checked as the van had arrived. But no mention of the extended drawbar, don't think to say anything at the time, only thought about it after putting the phone down

So I guess what could have happened is they sent to factory the final sign off form they'd sent to me rather than the actual final copy that I'd signed and sent back that had the addition of the extended drawbar on it,,

Gosh, I do hope this is all for nothing. Guess I'll find out in the morning. Question is what to do if they have forgotten it?

Yeh I went back and looked at the order you posted I couldn't see it on there either, thats why I asked the question.

Its a big call what to do? I hope it all works out for you and it has one.

Yip, simply won't accept it, I only need it by December so unless they won't be able to make another until then no drama for me... They already had me turn friends how bought $$$ expanda away to another dealer because wouldn't budge on the price they where trying it hit me up on for a battery (didn't end up getting it from them) so I have no problem telling them to stick it and waiting another few months...

Would hurt though being so close then having to wait again...

Worst thing is it isn't included in the original contract price so no real argument to get them to offer further discount in favor of waiting foe another van... Really wanted the extended drawbar so it will take a lot more than a mere 200 discount for me to accept without anyway. Perhaps a roof top aircon instead :)

Let's see perhaps I have jump the gun,,, All I know is, the signed, dated final sign off than I sent back had it on the bottom so definitely no fault of mine if the worst case, phew

Good to hear!, when I went up to see mine I got home and did not recall seeing the outdoor speakers. I stressed wondering whether they were there and alas they were....:amen:

Alright - So we picked up our van today and happy to say we are very stoked - was'nt without a bit of drama though :-(

Unfortunately The Van wasnt exactly to the spec we ordered - Rather than having the L-Shape Lounge with Table in the center option - It turned out to be the Cafe Dinette Option... Wife was more don't be rude than I was because that was pretty much the one thing she had wanted out of all...

Jayco gave us two options - 1. Wait till September for a new Van 2. Take the van as is with a $730 discount. I took Option 3. Van as is with a $1500 Discount :)

So all in all pretty happy - Here are a few pics, a little dark though and havent put roof up or beds down so I'll get some better pics on the week end.

hey ZS,was looking at the pics again and noticed there is no 4 stack drawers(usually under the sink), was this another deletion on your part or how this model is on offer from jayco??

Pretty sure that's how this model comes, mine has the same configuration under the sink
