Hello All, firstly I would like to say thank you to all the wonderful people who post on the forum's here on Expanda's Downunder. The information is invaluable!
We have just purchased a 2008 16.49.1 OB - Soft Lid, fairly standard at the moment, it has a TV Antenna, 150 litre Fridge (I wasn't willing to compromise on this) and Annexe. We looked at building/purchasing brand new, but my husband went into Meltdown when he saw the final price, mind you we had 16 upgrades on it! So we decided to buy second-hand.
We, like many of the respondents to the forums have upgraded from a Jayco Swan, we have two small children (4 and 6) and I found this to be too time consuming packing up and down.
What I've learnt so far from here is unvaluable, we have just purchased Hayman Reece Sway Bars/Weight Distribution kit. I'm looking to purchase a 12v TV, I have found the Kogan brand to be the best value for money, so any feedback here, would be appreciated. I've also read up on Solar panels here as well as the AMP Fibian, so thanks again.
We are looking to put the Dometic Truma Hot Water Service in, as well as the Outside Shower so if anybody has any thoughts here, that would be appreciated also.
We probably won't get away in our van until Oct/Nov, but plan to do a lot more travelling.
Safe Travelling to all.
