The family has just picked up our 2009 17-56 Expanda, complete with loo. Our aging mother has a dream to get a caravan and visit her birthplace - Wiluna W.A. - so here we all are, going shares in a van.
No one in our family has ever gone caravanning, but we're all about to. My sister swore off their camper trailer after their holiday last Easter, and was very keen on the idea of getting a van. She at least has a tow vehicle - a Pajero. I'm going to have to hand the Mitsubishi Mirage in for something a little larger - I'm the one earmarked to do the trip to Wiluna with Mum. Now all we have to figure out is what to do with her cats while we're gone.
My sister originally spotted the Expandas, and we were leaning towards the 16-49-3 for a while there, but the girls upsized the wish list to the double bunks of the 17'. I like the idea of keeping everything as light as possible, but I'm already happy with the twin axle set-up - it has its advantages.
Cheers,
Peter
