Jayco tell me to keep the club lounge to put back in when we change the van. Trouble is storing it. I reckon that the van will sell even better with the new lounge chairs. What do you all think? And, what would it be worth? Aussie Paul. -- Edited by aussie_paul on Sunday 21st of September 2014 11:04:09 PM
