Nice van Bob and Jayne, I really have to say that because our Retreat Fraser has virtually the same colour scheme, floor, benchtops, seating etc. that you selected. We took delivery of ours in December 2016 it was the last of the Frasers before Retreat changed the way that they name their different models. We are very happy with ours and have never had any major problems with it just a couple of small niggling things that they fixed without question during the servicing. Ours has all the same specs as yours except that the door is at the rear and we opted for the single beds to give us more room for changing etc. Welcome to the forum and enjoy your time on the road it looks like you will be doing it in style.
Cheers Dave and Rose

Yes, very happy with the Retreat service, only a few minor things like LED lights and not sealed around wheel arches etc, which was all fixed. Can't believe it's nearly 2 years old already.
We knew from the production number on the A frame there were about 3000 Retreat vans out there, but you don't see that many on the road personally.
We went for the centre door, so the kitchen bench is a bit bigger, too bad if they see me in bed, ha ha!
They replaced the 3 outside LEDs on ours due to corrosion caused by storing the van close to the ocean and also fitted a new entry door catch as it was difficult to seperate the mesh door from the solid one no argument on either request they just did them.. I see a few Retreat vans running around over here but I think that the brand is probably limited in sales by the low number of dealerships ithe only one in NSW is here in Newcastle and I imagine it would be a pain for people to bring them back for warranty or servicing. Most of the Retreats that we do see around the NSW north coast seem to come from Victoria.
Can't help feeling that there are lots of surfaces which need cleaning. I've a rear fold camper trailer and only need to clean a 7 by 4 and a half foot floor. Not to mention the exterior.
But as a 78 year old male I reckon less cleaning is good.
The van look great and I like the interior decor.
However, due to both of us having severe back issues, we would not have cafe style dinette seating.
We replaced our L shape dinette with fold out table and 2 swivel / recliner chairs.
Works a treat for us.
