Swag, tent, 08 Jayco Swan OB, to a new 17.56-2OB as of 4 days ago. Not sure if the flower and I are getting soft or just camping smarter.

We've had less vehicle though... Isuzu MU and then in 2004 we bought our Patrol new and still have it now.

We did the Isuzu Mu as well, bought it in 2001, sold it in 2007 when we bought our Navara. It was our first 4WD, bought after using our Camry to tow a camper trailer across the Plenty Highway to Alice Springs. What a great tug, towed our camper trailer along the Strzlecki Track and across the Gibb River Rd. through Kakadu. Only problem was a ball joint that packed it in when the rubber boot split and the water crossings finished it.

Similar progression, tent, camper trailer, Jayco Freedom, AVan, Expanda. Hope it's the last. :yield:

Chartrock, we bought ours in 2001 too! Just in time for a trip to Fraser. It was heaps of fun and the first car we were actually sad to sell. We only sold it in 2009 after it sat unused for a year. Matt wanted to keep it for our then 5 year old... but 11 years is a bit of a wait lol! We had the turbo go but other than that we loved it.

Hey Pieter,

Although the Swan/Eagles are great & we had 5 great years in ours, I have to agree the Expandas are fantastic. Great decision to go for the Expanda. Love ours too !!
