Thanks Lara. We are really looking forward to comfortable camping. Been camping over summer in our Cub camper trailer when its 45 degrees....will be loving the air conditioner this summer!!!
Going well , at the moment we are in Albany WA on holidays ,4 adults and 2 children and there is plenty of room for all.Thanks for that Brettmc. Good to know....I just couldn't remember seeing any when we were looking at the display. How's your Expanda going?
Wow...lucky you! Have an awesome tripGoing well , at the moment we are in Albany WA on holidays ,4 adults and 2 children and there is plenty of room for all.
I called our sales guy this morning to add extra 12volt points and he was about to call me as we needed to sign the confirmation. He said its unusual for it to come through so quickly.
So we have now completed the final signing...and the waiting begins!
I get what you mean about the storage....there is never enough with 4 kids. Just glad mine are alll out of nappies... they take up so much packing room.
I think Jayco is trying to get it through by the 28th April because of the free lifestyle entertainment pack. Don't think we can afford anymore extras, so its probably a good thing. The list of add-ons available seems to be never ending....I'm sure we could have found more if we'd had more time![]()
Thanks Scott. We were told 3 to 4 months....weren't given an exact date. Even though we are desperate to get our new van, we hope it doesn't come too soon as we can't access our savings yet! Planned a big trip for the summer holidays....can't wait.Congrats on your new van when is the arrival date? the waiting is the hard bit, we can't wait for our to turn up!

When did u order your van? Like the countdown![]()
We're in SA.... wow you only have around a 2 month wait! We ordered 4 days after youOur order was confirmed with the factory on the 15th of April, I'm surprised you have to wait so long do you live in WA?
That was our attitude as well. When your handing over a lot of hard earned money you want to get it right. I made one mistake that I'm regretting now...that was not getting the extended drawbar. We need more storage space and now I'm limited to a smaller tool box than I'd like!!
Hi JASA. You mentioned that want would have had the extended drawbar. Is this simply so you can set the van up whilst hitched? Sorry I'm new to this. You suggestbthatvalso provides extended storage space? We also have a tight turning circle at home and I'd need to work out whether the extended drawbar causes issues on that front. Thanks in advance for your wisdom!
i have a toolbox on my extended drawbar.Hi James,
Not sure about the wisdom bitbut, we do a fair bit of free camping so we need to carry more stuff and it would be good to have a storage box on the draw bar, especially for the generator and chainsaw because they stink the van out if I put them in the tunnel. I'll still do it, but it means I'll have a smaller box than I would like. I plan to relocate the spare wheel to the rear and install a storage box on the front with the gas bottles inside the box.
I hope that imparted some wisdom!! Unfortunately it was something I realised after we had the van out for it's first trip and found we need more storage.
Cheers James
After reading everyone's experiences I'm so glad we extended our drawbar...its not something you can retrofit and we really didn't want to regret not doing it . Don't have our Expanda yet, but time seemd to be moving quickly....can't wait!
