Turner family's 17.56-1 just ordered today

[Heidi at]

Very excited we just ordered our first caravan ever today we take delivery end of Nov in time for Christmas.
We ordered the 17.56-1 and after some extensive reading on this forum have ordered the following extras;
Axle under slung
External shower with hws
Battery and 150w solar panel
Gas bayonet
Extra water tank
Extra power points with 12v
Outside 12v power point
Drop down table
Al Ko drop jacks
The new jayco bed end covers
Full Sunroom
Al Ko Esc safety system
Windup antenna

Think that about covers everything, although thinking we should add another outdoor table.
End of the year a long time to wait but it will be our early Christmas present and then our first trip will be to Cann river for 3 weeks just after new year. Soo looking forward to the trip, certainly going to make camping with 4 kids a whole lot easier; now we just have to organise the new car to tow the van.

Great stuff !!! Top list of extras there and quite a few I wish I had in my 17-56-1 . Have you thought about the longer drawbar or stereo with ext speakers? We didn't get the drawbar but gives you options for later. And we love a bit of music when we are away.

Hubby did not want the longer drawbar and yes we love our music too but thought we had spent enough money so would live with our portable system for now.

Nice choice @Heidi at and a good selection of extras. I take it that seeing you are getting the axle underslung that you've ordered the tourer version and not the OutBack?

Pity about the wait but time will fly by and we'll be seeing pics of it in no time
