We have sold our outback swan and upgraded to the expanda life. We have the 4 ratbags, young family and can't wait for our 2016 17.56-1 outback to arrive (November some time), even though we were always in the swan we will be in expanda more. Lol .We scored a bargain at the c.q camping caravan show. It's good too see the upgrades everyone has done, gives good ideas for future projects. Quick run down on ours.

-esc
-150w solar upgrade. -fixed bunks
-external shower (hws as well). -external trunk door to suit fixed bunk(offside)( under bunk)
-extra tank. - oven upgrade
-storm covers. - picnic table
-drifta panel. -extended drawbar
-bed converter. - full Aussie wide annexe
- show package( 19.5"tv, antenna fusion upgrade etc)
-3 extra 12v sockets
- shelves installed to robe.


All we need is too pick up then our turn to use and place our mods in.

Cheers
Happy travels

How exciting...it sounds great.

Enjoy the planning, the list making, the fun looking for all sorts of things to add to the van, and the addictive forum this place is!

When did you place your order if handover is November?

Yeah we have 08 ns platinum pajero. Yeah bought for wifee. I had the new dmax for our trips with our Swan but we had kiddy 4. So out with the new and done the old paj up. She was lacking a little. So upgraded all the fruit on it. Just to be able to handle what we do. Great car but are looking at 200 series now due to growing family. So if any needs a fully equipped pajero, feel free to msg
