17' Series New from Melb

[BLJM]

Hi, we just updated from our outback camper trailer (that I loved) to our new expanda 17.56.1 that my wife Lindsey has wanted for ages.
She finally talked me around and I must say we are very happy as we just had our first outing over the Melb cup long weekend to Anglesea Victoria.
We have already booked our Chrissy trip to Port Stephens for 2weeks which she would not have done in the camper, so it's already paying off from point of veiw.
This forum looks great for trips and ideas to improve our expanda. Hope we can have some input at times as we'll.
Cheers Brett

Welcome to the forum guys and great choice of van too:encouragement: I might be biased though.

 

[BLJM]

Yeah I think it was a perfect sizes for us. Love the bunk bed with the option of using the bottom bunk for the kids to have a friend come away with us one day.
I'm a bit worried though since joining the forum it seems a lot of owners have some kind of warranty claim!
Yeah it's been pretty ordinary wheather even for Melbourne this year Brad.
Thanks for the welcomes guys. Cheers

Welcome @BLJM , you will love Port Stephens, I just got home from their today after a sweet 3 days away there.

Does get a little busy at Xmas though!

Nice choice of van too! Enjoy!

Welcome @BLJM as @17triton said...great van choice. But we are also a bit biased we love ours.
You'll have to jump onto the "Size Poll" in the 'Jayco Expanda Discussions' section and register your vote...I think the 17's are still trailing the 16's!!

Yes and How sweet it is!

Maybe the saying is true: It's not the size that counts!

All van manufacturers have warranty issues. Have piece of mind knowing that Jayco have a great track record at resolving issues, even out of the warranty period. Just keep a note of all issues and give a record of them to your dealer at first service

Welcome @BLJM, a van sure does make it easier to get away! Like hamish22 said, Port Stephens is a beautiful place.
