Starcraft Finally Starcraft 22.68-1 OB

[stucati]

Yes, bit sad about the new one. Non 550 owners just get the awesomeness of the Nav, do they?? I bought the last one, so a few happy years ahead ... likely followed by the "also ran" trail of disappointment when I need to trade her in on some new sub standard pillock

Amen Brother

A word of advice for battery upgraders, check what jayco supplies before purchasing replacements. Expected a Bosch gel 96ah and couldnt find another for a sensible price, so picked up 2 x 130ah AGM's and planned to move the bosch on.

Opened up the battery box and was supplied a 100ah Ritar!

Well picked the van, very happy with Jayco and especially the jayco Sydney team. Had a problem with brake controller, so they delivered it today to us.

Everything was done as requested, overall a happy customer!

Looks awesome. Fibreglass sides look very good!

No they didn't, if someone with an OB with similar specs can post their tare we could work it out roughly at least. I'd say no more than 75-100kg

I'll have a look at the plates tomoz and report back with our tare. We are with standard ally sides!

You can drop the table down although have not as yet.
We saw one for sale last year no bath room just double bunks each side if you do not want the bathroom.

Thanks, he is only 3 weeks old, so doesn't take up too much room at the moment! I have a 7, 4, 2 & 3wk, yeah we will be looking at getting the lounge converter straight up! Cause will need it one day! Thanks, will check out the links!

 

[davemc]

yes maybe something like a Kindercot on the dinette might work. We got one for our first child so he could sleep at granparents etc although think we used it twice

What a great looking van @stucati.

I did know that you could change the external walls to fiberglass. The wife really likes the Starcraft 17.58.3 but disliked the looks of the external walls, I'll have to show her yours now.
