Great stuff @achjimmy ! Can't wait to see how you put your personal touch on this one mate.
Now the fun begins, looks good form the outside where''s the inside pics ????/ You know the rules for pics.
Thats exactly what I was thinking, you pay big dollars and they put some $2 ratchet break in 6 mth straps on the bottles. I suppose the theif won't have to damage the van when he cuts and runs with them...................first mod spotted already @achjimmy

Ha ha thanks guys , pics will be coming was al a bit of a hurry. Picked it up from Port Maquarrie and spent Friday and Saturday at Forster in it .
The dealer at Pt Mac (Watson’s Caravans) is just great, the hand over from Lucas there was the best yet. He knew jaycos and didnt sugar coat a thing. There was a few issues and he had service and the cleaners on it while we continued the hand over ! Only real disappointing thing is the front awning arm is on a slant ! Will be recitifed .
The build quality of each successive Jayco has got better but it’s a massive leap since the last one. Jayco really seem to have got there 5h1+ together . Wiring and plumbing underneath is heaps neater. Even the plumbing to third tank is sensible . The Fit out is great and the porcelain bathroom bits make it more like a real bathroom. Jayco have changed the shower door and it’s solid as with a magnetic latch, very impressive.

What do you think of the Bos jockey wheel? I am thinking of getting one as it will give better travel (up/ down) than the standard wheel
Pics inside
Love it mate. I’d look at the US electric leg also. Think it’s a bulldog and repco or Trojan sell them . But the bos is great
