Well done, it's such a long wait, we should be getting ours in a couple of weeks!

 

[darcy305]

No turning back !! We recieved our final sign off & floor plans yesterday. They are now doing a drawer under the front dinette seat instead of drop down door as standard we also are getting the same on the rear dinette. Exciting times !!

 

[burnsie]

Plans look great....very exciting not long now

 

[darcy305]

It has gone by fairly quickly from placing the original order hopefully the the next few weeks will be the same.

This is our first new Expanda we have had two second hand vans before so we have ordered the new van with everything we thought we needed so no major mods planned as yet. I am toying with idea of putting a reverse camera on the back of the van. Also Bayswater Jayco have agreed (at their cost) to putting a Anderson plug on the draw bar so we can hook up to some portable solar panels if we need them in future.

Well done @darcy305 ... Plans look good and August isn't that far away now!

The Anderson Plug sure makes it versatile for running the portable solar panel. We got ours fitted from factory (2010) and use it to also charge the van battery while travelling via the BT.

 

[darcy305]

Hi Cruza,
The factory will no longer fit the Anderson plugs because of the 12 pin plug. So Jason @ Bayswater is arranging it to bit fitted prior to pick up. May not ever use it but its there if needed.

 

[darcy305]

So I can finally say our new 17.56.1 is due off the line this month. Even if it is on the 31st

And now the super excitement stage starts to set in

I'm doing my best to "keep a lid on it" and "take it one week at time"
