Nice E17561!!!

Looks like I don't need to get any photos for you!! I too like the wheels and hope they are standard. Is that the outdoor speakers down the bottom and fairly close together?

Do you know what the cost for underslung axles is and does having them mean the drop down step is added?

So many questions!!!!!!!!!!!! We shouldn't be far off going to Prestige for the final sign off - can't wait.

Hey sinko, flew down today to have a look and grab Some photos.

Wheels are upgraded as mentioned.

Underslung for us added $206, and yes it did come with the step and mudflaps as a part of the single upgrade.

Happy to answer any questions, if it makes a difference to your end result it's worth spending a bit of extra time researching.

Things I would like to have known about, but still may not have taken:

1. Extra jockey wheel mount in the centre of a frame 2. 3rd smaller water tank, we do a lot of free camping and water is only from a creek.
3. Confirmation of Led light status, the van I saw at the show had LEDs so I though they were standard. I can't understand how they are not these days.
4. Option to move gauge and switchs from the floor location.
5. Tv outlet at the table in annexe side 6. External speaker location 7. Internal ladder locator position. It's been mentioned before but with the ladder in place no access to the cupboard.
8. Anderson plug to battery to connect " portable" solar panels located on the ground. We did get solar provision, I believe this goes to the roof.
9. Confirmation of ability to run a 3 way wacoe fridge on external gas bayonet.

Things I will add as time goes

A. Solar panels / regulator
B. Tool box to store gas bottles and genny as recently seen on here.
C. Pole carrier under
D. Annexe veranda. I saw it under some photos. Looks like a great idea.
E. Water filters. I do need some help on these still though.


It's still on the yard, I may be able to get some more options added.

Hope this is helpfull.
