17' Series Hi from SE Suburbs

[Sarah n Matt]

Hi we (me, hubby and 3 girls 1, 3, & 5) just bought our first 17.56-2 yesterday. We originally had a trailer camper that we loved so much we imported it with us from the UK. As our family has grown we now realised after a 2 1/2 week road trip to Sydney then back down the coast that we had outgrown our beloved van. We started to think about a new van but decided we would get more for our money second hand. After searching and searching we found 2 that interested us. The first was a waste of time as the person had written the advert wrong so it didn't have the key features we wanted the second was 5 1/2 hours away. Well yesterday my dad and hubby did the trip and we are now the proud owners of a less than 12 month old van. I can't stop smiling and so much looking forward to our first weekend away.

:welcome: @Sarah n Matt . You will never look back now you have crossed to the enlightened side!
I've got three girls too, and can tell you having the ensuite is an absolute blessing. My wife was constantly back and forward to the toilet block with one of the girls, all needing to go at different times. Now all I have to worry about is emptying the cassetteainkiller:.

On ya Sarah n Mat, good lookin van.
I said only number ones in the loo, but that lasted about half an hour, the females out voted me.
I said whoever poos, they empty it- apparently its only me doin number 2s, coz ive been the only one to empty it.

Thanks to everyone for your kind words the ensuite was a must as our uk camper had a washroom (minus shower) and it was so invaluable having young kids. First holiday is booked for late November gives us time to repack and sort out sleeping arrangements for the 1 yo
