Looks Fine Bill, just the middle bungee is best under then over the bar like below and doesn't need to be too tight.
Thanks again
Christian
Thanks again

Heu @Billrw136 just keep an eye on your rear bumper if you haven't put turndowns on your exhaust, mine got a little burnt with the same setup. Although yours does look further away?
Yes mate - got an extension piece from Christian that lifts the whole thing a bit, so in theory less chance of that....

Is the red wine packed??
We leave this Friday - Burrinjuck dam, then Griffith (new grandchild should have appeared by then) then on to the Corner.......

Van is in for warranty repairs at the moment - new bathroom etc - pick up in a week or so - hope the fix is good and the ensuite door doesn't fall off again!! Will keep you posted.....
I hope you washed it first @Billrw136 I was filthy last time I saw it
Speaking of which, I drove home from Brisbane yesterday in the rain for the firt time since the corner, it has more red dirt streaks now, the van is still in cleaning mode as well, I guess we just have to wear it with pride.

Exactly! The door did a trip around the shower area - technically not the whole bathroom is being replaced, just the shower section - I should have made that clearer in my post!
Time to add to this thread - decided to get the van ready for a short trip next February - cleaned the front boot - Jayco's sealing very poor - silicone applied, but not actually where it was needed. Hence some dust ingress in a couple of spots. The silicone they use is also, I think, of low quality - hadn't actually adhered in some places. One tube of black Sikaflex down, more to go!
I am also modifying the mains water inlet and tank fillers - will detail if successful.
Happy New Year to everyone....

I looked at a Journey at Page Bros in Seaford last week. I was told that for their display models they specify that the L shaped lounge is reversed (from the brochure) so that the L is closest to the door. It seemed to make more sense and did appear to open the van up. I was also told that there are just a few minor changes for 2015 such s the control panel will be standard, an exterior antenna point, standard blinds, usb point, new interior colours etc. The Journey is an impressive set up IMHO.
Just went into the van and imagined the lounge reversed - not sure that would be better?? Room around fridge and entry would be much tighter/squishier. Anyway would be good to see it in the flesh - in the meantime our layout suits us well.
Thanks for your post....
Some photos of what has been started.....
I wanted to improve/make easier the filling of the water tanks and also stop the drip from mains inlet. So I removed the plastic inlet box from the van to reveal that no sealing had been done where the cut out was made. You can seen that at least one of the screws holding the box in place had begun rusting. The grey stuff is duct tape I used to seal the hole while modifying the box. Before installing the box again I sealed the opening with Sikaflex.
Next photo shows cut down mats to sit under the gas bottles. I have also done this in the other section of the boot.
Rusty screws securing the inlet box......
Below shows the other section of the boot with mats installed. I also had to completely redo the sealing of the
boot - used black Sikaflex.
Piece of marine plywood installed on top of drawer bar - I will attach a SMALL box to this for light weight items, e.g. sullage hoses etc.
Next two photos show modified water inlet box - I now have positive tank filling ability and the mains inlet
does not leak. Jayco's screws have been replaced with stainless steel screws, the bottom three with a dab
of silicone. I also sealed around the top of the box between the gasket and the side of the van.
