New van ... no questions!

[Bugeye]

Gday all
Other than my recent split system Air Cond. question... I have found all the answers to the normal questions I wanted to ask before ordering an expanda somewhere on this forum!
Have just ordered a 17.56.2OB ... now just have to wait till November to get it!
Have recently sold a modified Eagle outback that we bought new 5 years ago ... now the next step is the expanda.
Now back to the forum to see Mods people have done.
What a great site ... and friendly people.
cheers
John

Welcome Bugeye. Between now and November you've got plenty of time to start a "mods" list.

Hi Bugeye.
Oooohh yeah....
Love seeing another mod list.

 

[Bank of Dad]

Bugeye - I dont know if you have done your final sign off but if you havent this might help.

We put extra power points in under both tables which have proved invaluable. The kids stuff all has a charger these days!

 

[Bugeye]

Thanks Bank of Dad ... we did exactly the same too! :eyebrows:

 

[Bank of Dad]

Yep the extra pp are useful.

Other things I wouldn't change were:

150 ltr fridge
2 gas bayonets (seems to be a problem now)
Annex walls
Battery and drop jacks which are standard on the OB

Great van with growing family.

Enjoy mate!

 

[relgate]

Yep. We love ours too. Enjoy

I love the 150L fridge, glad we upgraded. I cannot believe how good it is on gas so far. Very happy with it and the door opening catch is easier on the 150 than the 90.

G'Day John
Only new to the site as well and very informative with mods and advise. We are Hanging out like yourself until we get our's as well
Cheers Glenn

 

[Bugeye]

Gday Glenn
Good to know we are not waiting on our own!
It is exciting / frustrating ... but I am busying myself with planning changes / mods to the Jayco wiring to accomodate the way we camp and use solar for extended stays. Already bought some of the bits in readiness and more to come.
cheers

G'Day all
I to am like bugeye - waiting for a new van.

Sold the 14.44.3 about six weeks ago and finalised the order for a 14.44.5 two weeks ago.
I have been told expected arrival 2 or 3 December, so will wait and see.
I will have to wait for the delivery to determine what mods will be required as the sales people seem to be in the dark about whether the van will come with LEDS, fan on the bed section light, etc.

Time will tell

Ray

G'day fellow waiters Ray and Bugeye - I'm first week of December too. There's only another week to change the order - its so nerve racking! Are the colours right, should I have put shelves in the robe, more PPs ..... its driving me insane
