Hi Everyone
We're looking at upgrading from our first ever second hand Golf van (which we've been very happy with) to a brand new Concept Innovation 600-R. Just wondering if anyone out there has purchased one and if so could you tell me a couple of things:
1. Are you happy with your van? If not, why?
2. Is there anything we should consider to stock standard van?
3. Anything to beware of with this van?
Thnx heaps
Katie

Wow nice van.... I dont own one but if I may so bold as to give you a few tips.
1) go for the optional 184 ltr fridge, the increase in size means you spend less time shopping and can remain independent for longer.
2) See if Concept will fit Reclining chairs in lieu of the dinette. If they wont or cant then get them to just box in the wheel arch and supply a trifold table, have a look here at how I did it... http://abb.activeboard.com/t58006658/re ... the-jayco/ (you may have to join but its free and no spam) Its going to be cheaper for you to buy your own chairs that you find comfortable and "install" them.
3) make certain that cabling for your TV antenna is done in RG6 quad core cable
4) Ask that the sullage all leaves via one hose and if they say it cant because of the washing machine then ask me and I'll tell you how to do it without the risk of flooding the van... Its the Sphere 3kg washer they are offering I suspect aka a Lemaire. You can save money there too by getting concept to provide the cabinetry and provision for the washer and buy your own;http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-Sphere-3 ... SwuhhXXF9u
5) See if they will supply an under sink water filter so that you can, if you desire, filter water you want to drink. Filtering the water for the entire van is unnecessary unless you drink the shower water...
