Sounds like a good trip to look forward too. Remember to post pictures when you pick up the new beauty.

-external shower (hws as well). -external trunk door to suit fixed bunk(offside)( under bunk)
I've been trolling myself for a while and looks like its getting close to putting in an order for a 17.56-1 myself.

I haven't heard or seen a external trunk door on the offside under bunks, would love to see a pic if anyone has one, or even the floor plan.

Yeah you have to get fixed bunks to get the trunk door added to access under bunk area. I'll place copy of plan up for you soon. Our van due around 16th to 21St next mth so I'll get pic then. trunk door measures 288x653 on our order

I know its just me - but that cupboard above the fridge - I would have had it opening down..........
only 'cause I hate when I open those up - being tall......... I have to crouch down to see into the back.........

I learnt with this Van - next one they will open downwards.........

for me anyway........
