After four months of diligent research we finally bought our new, and first, van today at the Penrith RV show. It's a Concept SX 22' 6". We particularly liked the excellent build quality, finish and a lot of extras that come standard, and, having only this week read the most positive review in the Oct issue of Caravan World we know we made the right decision. Pick it up in February as we aren't in a hurry to get it. Life on the road is getting that little bit closer and we can't wait.
Apologies folks....I just realized this post should have gone in "show us your rig".

Excellent, Deconuts,,, double good news!
If you thought selling a house was hard work, now you have to sort/pack all your stuff ready to go on the road without most of it!! Great fun!!!

Congrats on the van and the house - hope you got the price you were looking for. I hope our place sells as quickly - goes on the market in a couple of weeks after months of work - pick up our van in December, on the road in January (hopefully)

My wife & I looked at a Fraklin Stylist at Kratsmans Burpengary QLD on the weekend, it was made by Concept too I think, 21' centre door front bed rear ensuite cafe dinette 2 door fridge, kitchen on the pasenger side, dose that sound like the one you ordered $55k?
Regards Jay.

I've already started and it is a daunting task. Gumtree is proving very useful for selling some of the larger items, cars etc and planning a garage sale soon. But working out what to keep, sell or throw out is proving difficult but even more so is figuring out what will go in the van!!!

I'm not sure that the Franklin is built by Concept but our van layout is the Ascot SX with the leather club lounge. Best of luck with your search.
