BJ,
We pick ours up on Wednesday, unfortunately though once you order it, time seems to slow right down. We are looking forward to the Caravan lifestyle now, we started in swags, then went to tents, then a soft floor camper trailer (which we thought was like a hotel), then we hired a Jayco last year to see what it would be like and we were sold. Having a young family we also opted for the 14.44.4 OB with bunks.
We got the extra water tank, HSW/Shower which is mounted on the back out of the way, TV/DVD just in case we get stuck inside (rain strategy), second gas cylinder, 100A battery pack and upgraded control panel with battery and water displays.
Get yourself a good note book and pen, I have spent the last couple of months reading through the forum and vanning magazines, making notes, and writing down little things I want to check when it arrives. Little bits like checking underneath protection of vital pipes and wiring, checking gas connections, stone guards etc, I remember these little issues from our hire van.
We are planning on putting some km's and nights away in the van not long after it arrives, heading to Arkaroola.
Congrat's on the purchase, as Nick says above, we our joining a greater following of mini-Jayco's
