We have just been in to look at the new fabrics in the cold hard daylightr to see if we would be stuck with a van where we did not like the colours having had to choose from the computer. We are happy with the geranium ink and a griege laminate. We also showed the kids the caravan for the first time and they are really happy.Even happy with where they are sleeping. Hope everyone else is happy with their choice if buying a new Jayco.

I am amazed with some of the range of colors Jayco put up some times. :puke:
Some are ok but others I reacon you would want to be smoking the whacky tobackie before they start to look good.
My opinion....:biggrin1:....obviously.

LOL yeah I agree, you know a colour is bad when at the dealers and they are flicking through the fabrics and he says "NOT THAT ONE" and moves past it.

Looks like they have gone back to the darker wood finish. I never liked the lighter trim when i first saw it, but now I have it I like the lighter colour. Makes the van more airy. Would like to see one in the flesh. Will wait for the Sydney show

We ordered ours with the cadel saphire, seat and backrest, It's a very nice dark blue colour, we also ordered the griege laminate.

HI there,
we ordered ours with the Java Vintage backrest and Eternity Vintage seat cushion. It actually isnt to bad when you see it in person.
Our bench top is the Amore benchtop. The dark benchtop looked great with the black/brown in the cushion. Hopefully we have made the right choice,

could you order the Cadel on its own, in seaford they told us that we had to go the cadel as the seat and the Gridlock Ink as the backrest. I liked that as well, but the Rockville was a skocker wasnt it.

I was actually down at Jayco today and took a look at a ''Work n Play'' whilst I was there :whistle: anyway there was a 17'' Expanda there with Rockville Ochre bolster cushions and Virtue Larva for the base cushion and it actually didn't look to bad. :peep:

Hahahaha these colours officially tip the positive / negative scale on the toss up between the two :)

Will have to see them in the flesh but based on the files attached its pretty bad.

How they come up with these colours just astounds me.

I checked out the windsor genesis, same as the discovery and two things stood out, first the colours are very nice a dark green with an emblem pattern which was very neutral. Secondly the height of all the benches was much better than Jayco as it was easier to stand and wash dishes etc.

Its still light coloured but honestly I didn't look at it to hard if its changed slightly. (I dont think it has though)I asked them if they had a Discovery like the one your after so I good check it out a bit closer but no luck :(

The red coloured couches looked alot better in the flesh than the pdf IMO

Yeah, the dealer said that was the way it came, It has gone through and been approved, so it must be okay.Didn't really go on the other colours too much.
