Just joined as a user. We are planning our big half lap for 2022 (Vic, SA, WA, NT & Home)... Just purchased a Jayco Journey O/B 17.53 (May delivery)... yes, one might ask why the early purchase! Twofold, I sold my on road van quicker than I expected.... The second reason is I know the van will need a bit strengthening & mods. The lead in time will give me time to double up all internals (eg I have ordered extra hinges & panelling for my shelving) & protecting the externals equally. Will be a bit of a project - and am happy to do in my own time.
I'm not sure what the posts tend to do - but once I get and start to get into it - is this something the forum members would like to see progress updates for?
Thanks for allowing me to join - be a good tool as I research products and what others have done.
Just a note of caution. In another post welcoming another new vanner, you mention your choice of Jayco for warranty coverage. As a 3 time Jayco owner, that is sensible BUT check with Jayco before you make any structural changes during the warranty period. That could be a quick way to lose your warranty coverage.

Fair call Ian. Im only planning to strengthen doors (extra hinges), cupboards (more shelving) and draws (more screws in runners) internally - and if one fell off Im not the kind of guy to claim on that... but if one of the stubs let go - then thats another matter! Underneath I only plan to protect rather than modify. But will take your guidance though and clarify the ins and outs when its off the line ready to collect!
