Journey New Journey 17.53-3

[davemc]

Well went to caravan show new Journey there for those interested took a couple of pics as different.
Did not take many pics of vans was a same same sort of show. Bunk Crosstrack in a couple of sizes...
Full 17" van. big side boot to store bikes etc was a good idea. Also had a swing up extender bench.
If you have 2 kids be interesting vs the 19 Journey and save $5k.
Although $ wise the new Starcraft their touring only $46k


Only van we would of went home with was a 23" Lotus offroad 4 bunk. Rear ensuite.. Although east-west bed and $97k

I like the e/w bed idea, seems a better use of space ???

if a queen or king probably.. Jayco love the smaller then a double mattress 120cm wide.
A king single which I had as a kid is 106 wide A normal single is 92.. a double 137.. Our smaller then queen 22.68 is 145. so only 8cm smaller then home. 25cm too small.. When your large yourself then even worse

My son is waiting for lockdown to end so him and his partner can take delivery of their van in this layout.

Resale would be the only reason i wouldnt. Straight up its a 500mm better use of van length. More stuff in a 20ft van, or the same stuff in a 19ft'er. Seems pretty logical to me

I hear all the whining about climbing over each other to get out, but thats an old people problem

we loved our 17 a full height would of been nice. we updated as 4 kids and wanted a inside bathroom
The bed being small was a problem more then climbing over each other

They are planning on keeping it for a long time as they don’t have kids yet. They didn’t want to the 19ft either, both preferred the shorter design. Jayco have taken it of the list now though.
