I thought I better introduce myself here after posting and lurking on other threads.
We have just upgraded from a Flamingo Outback and placed an order for a 17.56 - 2 Outback. It isn't that we don't love our Flamingo, it's just the setup of going away and the effort involved for shorter trips. I must admit our Flamingo has a lot, and I mean a lot of extras which prepped us for necessities required and some not so necessities. I am impressed with the standard features that now come with the Jayco's. We spent all day at a recent camping show looking at all the vans of various price ranges where at the end of the day we decided the Expanda suited us to a tee in both price and functionality.
Our Expanda factory extras include the following;
* Extended Drawbar
* 12v assist tv antenna
* Sphere TV
* Pivot tv bracket
* Drifter panel
* Stereo with ext speakers
* Picnic table
* Additional water tank (3 total)
* External tv point
* Fixed double bunks
Upon arrival I will replace the Setec with Projecta 10amp smart charger, additional 12v & USB sockets, additional solar panel, additional 100ah batt, replace 12pin with 7 pin & Anderson plug.....ahhhh the list goes on.
I allowed for a few months lead time so we can sell our Flamingo and have the Expanda arrive when we wish to use it. I have been monitoring the 2nd hand market for some time and like last time the price we are paying for new is less than what some people are asking 2nd hand with less fruit.
The wait and online shopping begins!
