17' Series about to order my 17,56,2 OB

[randl007]

Thought I would join the forum as its great reading what everyone has either ordered or is about to. We have recently been and sorted out what we are having on our expanda and the only thing I would say is make sure you haggle the price down. I have now been told by our dealer they cannot even upgrade the jockey wheel for a discount as they have hit rock bottom. Certainly do not take the first discounted price they come up with. I look forward to reding more about what everyone does. Great site:yo:

Definately pays to shop around. Where did you guys get yours.

 

[randl007]

Brisbane Camperland on Wynnum Road.

I went to them also. We have our 17.56-2 for three weeks. We bought ours through Bundaberg and price was $1500 less than Brisbane Camperland. Service was amazing. Just food for thought......

 

[randl007]

thanks Its amazing the difference in prices you get for the same van. I guess its all in the sales and bartering. I am already wishing we had ours but with a delivery date of March its a long way off

Welcome aboard randl007, yep the wait time cant be a killer, never mnid though just keep reading here and it'll soon pass.

 

[randl007]

Thanks Bushman thats half the problem seeing what everyone is doing with their Expanda. I guess we just keep dreaming at the minute and continue to set up the trailer. This is quicker after our Birdsville track trip

 

[randl007]

Thanks thats reassuring. Have you had to return for any issues fixing and if so what was their after sales service like?

G'day randl and welcome to the forum.

What extras did you order with the new Expanda?

 

[randl007]

Thanks Cruza driver. We went for the following extras:

Awning walls, 150L fridge, Roof Air, Full Oven, Bed converter for large table, (we have 4 kids), Wind-up Antenna, Solar system, Hyland Coupling, external foldout table, control panel, Simplicity Suspension, 12 pin plug, Gas Bayonet and front stonguard, hopefully we have covered everything as we like to travel a little off road. We recently did the Birdsville track with the trailer and apart from stone damage and a cracked plastic water pipe, not too much of a prblem. was there much stone damage to your van after the Oodnadatta track?
