Not a bad location, the roll out bed would provide some moisture protection. Are the updates mainly cosmetic?

Have they changed the front boot again - looks more vertical, like my 2010 model?

Just thinking the same. There seems to be no gap under for pole holders. Photo could be deceiving though.

I like the new livery too. Good change. I like the current one as well though.

Does it still have the checker plate look around the bottom on the OB?

Mate, I think it will be black checker plate. A lot of vans are now doing the black.

Just been into Jayco . The only changes I have noticed was they have changed the brand of fridge and the colours . Gas bottle is still in the front boot . I also have been told the wheels will be different . Sorry no pics but the kids sent the phone flat playing games

I went to have a look at their Brisbane dealer the other day.

Run out sale on all 2011/12 stock.

One new thing was a new door for the 2013 model.

We looked at an on road Dove model for a special run out price of $21,000 with "free" bed flies.

2013 model could be had for just over $22,000.

No wonder the 2011 Dove is still sitting there.

I'm not a fan of them colours either glad I ordered a expanda instead it makes it look to plasticity compared to last years model that just looked tough but I'm sure the colour will grow on me  still love the swans just a bit to small for my family would rather spend the extra coin and get something the family is going to grow into then out of   :cheers:

The wheels in the 2013 model pic are exactly the same as those on my 2010 hawk OB.    the 2011/12 models were different, but now appears they have gone back to the 2010 style....
Re the January run out sale, if looking to buy, you need to squeeze them on floor stock as they would be keen to shift last years model that they have purchased.   e.g  in Jan 2011, my 'runout'  nov 2010 build hawk OB was $23.5k with flys, roof rack & pole holder.  To order the same thing through a dealer up here was $3.5k more & 3 month wait.     2 years old now and from what I can see, it's worth pretty much what I bought it for >:D
That on road dove in Brisbane should be at least $4k less ??? >:D

That new front boot looks very much like the boot on my 2011 Swan (on road). Works pretty well, fits two gas bottles and all the other regular crap.
