The 16 was an on-road version, 2007 model with no hard lids (Got sick of putting up bed fly's with tent poles, ropes etc as it felt like we were still putting up a tent). Main difference with the 17 is so much more room even if only 1' longer and hard lids
Went with the bunks for two reasons. Oldest daughter often comes away with us with her son and he'll soon be too old/big to sleep in same bed as Mum. Reason #1 is due to us not ordering the van but bought a "stock" order that the dealer got sent over to put on display in the yard but we bought it the day after delivery so they didn't even get the chance to do that!!!!
We did a trade-in deal with the option to sell privately while waiting for the bank. Put an add on gumtree same night as we put the offer on the new one and was sold the next day for $3K more than we were offered for trade so very happy there

We were actually looking for a later model 16OB with hard lids (Second Hand) but this deal was too good to miss out on.
Cheers,
