Holy smokes!!! $225, is that what they charged you for LED lights? I just bought a complete set to replace the lights in our expanda when it arrives with a bunch of spares for $45. I wonder how they are different from the ones I got...
ZS, Yeah on paper it said that but, they ended up dropping their original price for the van. It all ended up good in the end.
One of our first trips away in our new 16.49.3 was in Feb this year (2012) with the kids to see how things would go free camping.
Went to Coolandenl which is about 40Km west of Nowra on the Shoalhaven river, Great spot for just laying around in the river and the wild life, The kids love it and will head back
Only issue was on the way out there was a tree down and across the road,

Ok. I'm a new to this forum, and while I can't show you pictures of our Expanda 16.49-1 on its first outing, I can show you a picture of our Jayco Swan camped out at Swan Lake, near Sussex Inlet.

16.49.1 Maiden voyage
After 5 years of towing our Swan all over Oz, my back has finally given up and we've taken delivery of our new 16.49.1 standard together with a new Ford Territory AWD diesel to pull it.
We made our maiden voyage up the North Coast of NSW for 3 weeks and the van and the tug passed with flying colours.
Our first stop was at Forster Lakes resort park, it has a beautiful setting, particularly at the en-suite sites, as photo shows.
Then to Emerald Beach caravan park which has a beautiful setting but badly needs some TLC.
Finally to the NRMA park at Darlington Park which is probably one of the best parks we have stayed at. Lots of room around each site, all grassed and treed, facing onto a beach and a golf course and plenty of things to do for the kids and their parents. Plenty of wildlife visitors too as photo shows.
love th forum, our kudos to the organisers and moderators.

Here is our Rig. This was an over night stay setup at Marlborough on our way up north. Haven't got our bed end fly's on as there was no sign of rain. The camp is a bit thrown up as the kids were ready for bed and I'd had enough of driving and road works. Grrrrrr. Thank god for beer. MMMMM beer. The other photo was at Theodore where we stopped for lunch. Nice park with heaps of parking for vans. Hot chooks at the IGA. Yummy. You can also stay at the show grounds there if you want somewhere for a stay over. I seen heaps of vans pulled up there.

Hey mate,
How does she go on the sand? Is it a hard flog? I haven't been to Double Island for years. Is it still fairly accessible? Growing up I used to go to Fraser just about every holidays. Especially when the Taylor were biting. It was long before they turned it into a bloody tourist Mecca. It's great to see the 18 on the beach.
Mate it loves it there i run about 20-15psi on the van and about 15 on the front of the truck 20 on the back and if i can't get up on a camp spot its 10psi all round i have 4 maxtrax and a shovel. Just go the teewah ferry way and the cutting is a peaces of don't be rude its down hill with a hard left MAKE SURE you take your WDH off and you get all your water from the fresh water track

Hope the weather looks that good when we get to Airlie in. The morning!
We are super jealous. Airlie had perfect weather for us, didn't even look like raining. Hope it's the same for you guys. I wish our lotto numbers would come up and could just hit the road and never come back.
