Hi all.
Just ordered a new 22.68-1 OB.
Should have it before Xmas.
Only issue is I wanted to move the TV to the small wall near the door and have it facing the main bed.
The dealer ship would not allow this to happen. I am really annoyed about this.
Other wise I am one happy camper.
Below is a list of extras

Double bunk
Cafe Style Dinette
Bigger fridge / freezer - 2 door
Roof hatch upgrade 500 X 700 to the front and mid hatches
Drifter control panel
3rd water tank - independent / completely separate to the other 2 tanks - sep filler.
water filter system to sink from 3rd tank only
Anderson plug direct to battery - for portable solar panel
External light off side - roughly where fridge is
External fold out table *Try posting a bit more so your post isn't boring* - under bedroom window and kitchen window (approx)
External hatch to under bunk storage
Delete supplied TV
External entertainment package
12volt - both bed cubby holes - main bed
12volt and 240 - near radio (in the shelf)
12volt and 240 in storage area under double bed near foot end near battery box
Shelving to all robes
Add shelf X 1 to cupboard Left of microwave
Add shelf to bathroom above mirror like in expanda (20.63-1)
Add wire rack to Left side of cook top
Fit supplied reversing camera

Awesome list of extras.
Shelf in the bathroom is a good idea.
We ended up getting the tv arm etc on the driver side facing the queen bed and also kept the original next to the sink

Thanks guys
I was hoping to just have the one TV provision.
The wife hates have the TV over the bench near the sink as she thinks it will take up too much bench space.
Might suggest Relgates idea of having it on the other side just for when in bed.
I would have thought that they could have strengthen up the wall near the door so it could support a TV.
I will be going to the dealer ship tomorrow to do the final sign off - ie floor covering, seat fabric etc.
Might make a few suggestion to them to see what we can work out

I asked for it in that spot too but they wouldn't do it because they cant do all of the leads and power there

Congratulations, we just got our 17:56-2, and we going to put a filtering system in it as well.
We got the tv and haven't even thought about the bracket yet, u just reminded me and we go away in a weeks time:)

Went to dealer today.
End result we are doing the same as relgate
The wall near the door is not strong enough to support a tv.
We had a better look with the salesman and had a decent discussion .
In the end we just added the another TV provision to the other wall at a little extra cost.
The van should be ready on the 17th of December.
Just in time for Xmas.
We are pretty happy with our new purchase.
Cant wait to get it and go and have some fun (make some memories).

The shelf in the bathroom did not happen because the dealership in Geelong stuffed up. The wife is really don't be rude about this.
Everything else on the list has been completed.
Hopefully it fits in the yard at home, then I will have to get a carport built to protect it.
