:welcomeuncan & Tracy. That's an Eagle and a half you've got yourselves there. This your first van?
It will be pretty seemless when you move to an Expanda! Seriously, can't wait to see pics in due course.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the Eagle. We are ex Swan owners and we had some great trips in that van, very capable with a small family.

You know that one day you'll get an Expanda, right.

Cheers Pace.

Welcome!
You didnt get the Aussie pack with the special seat fabric?

 

[Dunga71]

Na it was an option for $200.00 but it was a bit too much Aussie needed to be broken up a bit more IMO

We've stayed at kingfisher also, great spot, fair old slog to the beach though as you would have found out. You'll have a ball with the new addition staying on the Ocean side. Enjoy...HM

 

[Dunga71]

Yeah shure is a big drive over and back every day,that made the decision to camp on the eastern beaches easy
