Awesome! You went new after all. Looks like it's going to be a fantastic set up. I'm heading down to get my 17 in August, maybe I'll bump in to you on the way back...

Well done mate, our Expanda also has the L shape lounge and the table is not secured.

I'm interested in the pick up from Geelong?

I found the prices unbeatable in Vic and service over the phone excellent....well worth the drive. Its been 3 weeks now and still have not got a reply from Newcastle.

A couple of things I will ask my dealer when he returns from holidays, Jo (my wife) wants to know if Jayco can fit the led down lights that she saw in a 25' sterling and also see if they can cut back the board on the top bunk to stop kids from rolling out (not that we want her to) but she is 10 and quite tall for her age. This would give her more room to get down from top bunk or is that a standard safety thing and can't be modified?

I looked around the country for a Starcraft in stock and could not get through to Newcastle Jayco on the phone at all and they never replied to my email (did get the read receipt though) where as Bayswater and Albury Wodonga were great to deal with and efficient, they just didnt have an outback in stock. Price wise they were also competitive incl allowing for freight compared to Brisbane.

Yeah cancan, I think Newcastle needs a shake up. Once we mentioned Vic they didn't want to know us but hey they had the chance!

Interesting as my experience is the complete opposite with Newcastle, the sales man I'm dealing with is exemplary in his communication.

I tried a couple of other NSW dealers of Jayco when shopping around and had the same negative experiences you talk about with them, may well depend on the sales bloke you strike, which is unfortunate.

Hey NK, i know they can't all be tarred with the same brush but was just my experience and i dont mean to bag them. I was however happy with their warranty repairs and over the counter sales! Maybe i did strike the slack one but sometimes that's all it takes! :)

Cheers.
