We decided to upgrade from an Expanda 14.44-4 OB to the new Journey with the full ensuite. We've always said that "one day when we retire" we will upgrade to a van with an ensuite, but due to major health issues last year, we decided that life is short, and our "one day" will be now. We are kicking out the two teenage boys who will now have to sleep in an add-a-room, while us parents will live like king and queen inside the van.
I am very happy to say that we sold our Panda yesterday, after advertising it on this forum. What a great place to sell a van . We will meet the new owner halfway to deliver the van, so will have a quick trip in 3 weeks to NSW.
We are going away during the September school holidays, so we've been looking around for a van to hire.
Our van should be finished by end of October, so we hope to have it early November to have a full annexe and the boys new sleeping quarters made before our holiday during December.
A lot of extras are now standard and we've only added a few extras:
Water filtration
Shelves to the wardrobe
Fold down picnic table
We've opted for the 15inch tyres, which will be the underslang axle to get a bit more height. We wanted the OB but it won't fit, so the 15 inch tyres will do.
We've also got the show special, which comes with a reversing camera.
We also want to get a van mover, we've had one on the Panda, so we are looking into it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Now the long wait begins ...
