Jeep and Expanda

[Kev]

Updated the Kluger to a limited jeep GC.
Better than expectations.

Time to upgrade to a bigger van. Any suggestions. Wanting bunks and toilet shower.

How about the 20-63.1?

I've got one and am really happy with it. Triple bunks up the back, queen up the front in the fold out section, a separate toilet and shower and with the slide out option a massive club lounge.

Looks great, any issues or thoughts on triple bunks? Thinking going double so the girls have more room to sit up.

Looks good

I am waiting for the 20.63.2. Big toilet / shower area with beds at each end.

G'day @Kev, we are picking up our 20.62-3OB this coming weekend and really looking forward to it. There are a couple of others with Jeeps towing them. Seem to be a perfect fit for each other. Are you still looking at a panda or something else?
Cheers

Open to anything, the expanda has been great until now. Kids getting bigger and next step is the bunks.
Good luck with the big unit.

Ah a Jeep, great choice, in fact the wife is trying to convince me to trade mine in on the latest model (go figure) I am doing my best not to argue, due for a service this week so lets just see what happens would love the 8 speed, but saying that ours tows beautifully as it is.
Good luck choosing a new van.Cheers

Hi @Kev, nice looking vehicle - We've just bought a My14 JGC and has been great for the first couple of weeks. Picking up our new Van next month and looking forward to seeing how it tows. Cheers Patto

Just sold our 16.49-2 OB and have on order a Starcraft 20.62-3 outback with built in bunks to the rear and single beds up front.
The built in bunks allow for an inner spring mattress to fit and have a little more storage and will remain made up the whole time. They also have a little more storage and lights. Our bikes travel on the roof of the car and while the storage option was attractive with the extra offside door and fold down bunks, the whole idea was to have a van ready to go.
The single beds up front mean we maintain what we loved about the Expanda - floor space front to rear for when everyone is up and about. It also means I can travel with a mate and his kid(s) and have a range of sleeping options which includes another mattress on the floor if we choose.
Shower and toilet too of course.
Other extras include solar, extra hatches at the rear and extra drawers under the bunks and under the dinette. We also added a drop down table.
Can't wait.
And the CRD MY14 Jeep Grand Cherokee is now 2000 km old and nicely run in for the new van. Love it.
As a Jayco, it will hold its value too.
Cheers
Andrew

Ours tows like a dream, 2013 model but could not wait for the new model. Time over again I would wait. But I don't even know the van is behind it. 8 speed will eat it up not the fuel though.

20/63-1 great van triple bunks sep shower and toilet large club lounge we love it well worth a look if you want to go that big

When we bought our 17.56 we were looking at a 18.57 with triple bunks but were warned off by the dealer as he said they were a little claustrophobic/cramped due to the bunk above. I would like to here owners thoughts on this as we now have a 4th kid and we are considering to a three bunk van...

Congrats on the purchase of the Jeep @Kev they are becoming rather popular in the towing community!
