i am new to this site and would just like to say hi .we have just ordered a jayco expanda 16.49-1b and have started the long wait to the delivery date. i find this site very informative and have learnt heaps. i live in port elliot south australia with my lovely family of me the missus and four boys. we recently traded our swan to go a bit more upmarket as did not enjoy packing up in the rain and the time it takes.its great to be part of a simliar minded group of folks.

Welcome to the forum family. Start counting off the weeks; then the sleeps and while waiting start planning the individual touches and mods to really make your Expanda your own.

 

[bigbertha]

thanks we have started the count down and hope to take delivery about first week of december . the ideas that people have on this site are great and certainly give you a lot to think about,

Welcome bigbertha,

I to am only new to the site and have also learn't heaps.

Any day now i am waiting for our call to say that our Panda is finally ready to be picked up, transfer some dollars over first !

The wait is Torture but gives you a chance to purchase those incidental things on the experience of others on the forum.

Cheers Glenn
