After viewing Expandas Down under for 4 months I have finally become a member. The sharing of information from one member to another has been invaluable as I have just had handover of my 2012 14.44.5 expanda. Jayco has removed the bunks and have incorporated a full ensuite. Shower is seperate, vanity unit with sink and Thetford 200 swivel toilet. The prototype at Sandown leisurefest in October 2011 had couple of slight changes for example the ensuite did have a flimsy door on a hinge even at the show the door started to show wear an tear. They have replaced the door opening with a good quality curtain. Hinges on some of the cupboards were swapped over to the other side of the door for ease of access. Fridge and microwave are raised so no issues with having to bend over to use fridge and removing items safely from the microwave. The van was ordered with battery, solar panel, television & CD player. One of the things I wasn't expecting was having the television wired via the pioneer sound system so you have a "home theatre" , you can switch from internal speakers to outside. Who said you have to rough it with this camping caper. The van was dellivered 1 week ahead of schedule. Can't wait to get on the road and see the wide brown land. One final note is what is the official age you need to be to become a "grey nomad"? All I say is bring it on, life is just tooooooo short.
