Welcome @Journey from another Journey owner. Great vans. We better be careful or the sandgropers will be taking over the forum.

Do you really want to give the Victorians something else to crow about? :lalala:

With the amount of West Aussies joining we may start climbing the ladder :spy:

I might have to stir the banana benders to vote when we meet at Airlie Beach next month. :barbershop_quartet_member:

Hi Journet,
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the Forum. I am still waiting for mine. Hopefully mine arrives soon. Can't wait to take it away.

(stop trying to cross the boarder for a better lifestyle, and we wouldn't call you Mexicans)

still far better than being named after a blind sand grub........ that looks crappy as well.........

Welcome @Journey from another Journey owner. Great vans. We better be careful or the sandgropers will be taking over the forum.

Here we come

 

[Journey]

Well we upgraded from our 14.44-4 to a 17.55-5sh, as the missus wanted a shower and toilet and this suited our needs for the kids without being too big. The 2015 model comes with heaps of standard gear now.
Here is what we're getting.
- roof mounted air
- 150 liter Dometic fridge & freezer
- power point with USB charging
- Windup antenna with TV
- Stereo with internal and external speakers
- curtain divider
- external tv outlet
- Control panel
Plus the following options
- fold down picknick table ( bar! )
- shelves in wardrobe
- ALKo Esc
- external hatch to access under rear bed
- external 12 volt outlet
- external gas bayonet
- Aussie traveller afk & 2 curved roof bars
- Reich Eco mover, we have a very tight parking spot at home !
- twin wheel jockey wheel

I have the following mods to add when we get the caravan.
- Internal 12 volt outlets under the dining table and rear bed
- External 12 volt weatherproof outlets under the front and rear of the caravan
- LED strip lift for the front boot
- Exhaust fans for the fridge to aid cooling in hot weather.
Already got a box of stuff waiting. I'm sure there will be more to come.
Hopefully should take delivery at the end of March.
Cheers

Hi Nick,

We've ordered one as well due in July. Is the external hatch to access under the bed tall enough to to take a BabyQ or a 2.5KvA Generator?

Cheers,
Simon

Hi,
Our new caravan finally arrived at Jayco Sydney and I will be going to have a good look over it prior to picking it up in a couple of weeks. The external hatch is to access under the bed. I will measure the size of the hatch when I look at the van next week.
Cheers
Nick

Hi,
I just went through my order and the hatch size is 653 x 288. I am going to have a look at the van next Thursday so I can confirm the size then.
