16' Series Stoked Expanda Purchase
- Thread starter David Spencer
- Start date
not sure about others, but when we pickup our van new from CaravanLand, they gave us a $200 voucher to spend at "the toy shop"
so we brought the shade sides, as I was going to do at the time anyway
but there may be some bargains at the show..... price up Caravanland first, and also George Day across the road
air bags - get written quotes for the players - ARB / ORE / Opposite Lock, them all then make a decision
why.......???
I got quoted (verbal) for a rear awning at a great price - pickup Tuesday after show - passed up on a good price there and then at another place, when I went on the Tuesday to pay & pickup - well bugger me, price rise, and they didnt have one for 2 weeks anyway......
out smarted myself.........
yes @David Spencer I would get the side table
- I looked at getting one off fleabay and fitting it myself, then looked at the pin stripping and that on the side of the Van, and thought - "hmm factory fitted looks better"
when looking at the "cheap" wireless rear cameras - remember how far is it from the rear of the Van to the monitor
some have 5mt range - great
except your Prado is 3.4m (there abouts) long to start with.........
food for thought..........

Only thing we received when picking ours up was a 10% discount card to the toyshop for 12 months....... OH did it get a workout 
Us too. We must wear the wrong type of deodorant.Only thing we received when picking ours up was a 10% discount card to the toyshop for 12 months....... OH did it get a workout
(Even bought the biggest expanda.... Didn't even get hats this time.
But our nice neighbors in melbourne gave the boys their ones )OH We did get hats but not during pickup... We have one of Caravanland's salesmen stay just behind us each year at Busselton. We supplied the fresh fish and he supplied the head gear
We got hats, coffee mugs and can coolers and the 10% card. Obviously paid too much for our 21 footer

Dang nabbit
I got the Hats (4 off) and the Voucher
then at the next show, Ken gave us 2 of those blow up Jay Birds..........
might have to go speak to him again soon-ish............
Coffee Mugs............
Stubbie holders...........
some people......
We got the standed 4 hats this time around. Wouldn't minded a Jayco bird though 
We got a pair of hats, 2 stubbie holders, a Jayco frisbie and a picnic rug. Plus the 10% for 12 months in their shop. Also got 12 months membership to Top Tourist Parks and can write of for 6 months membership to another park group. 
Will have to speak to Jim re: coffee mugs and stubbie holders.......
maybe show him the Expandas Downunder stickers - maybe the could put them on one side of the mug / stubbie holder
or maybe he should buy a heap of stickers off @expanda and give them to the new buyers on pickup...........
Also have a looky at other Caravan Dealers stores I have found some like Coffs Harbour Jayco to have far better prices than many others for bits and pieces. Places like Bunnings sell drinking water and drain hoses at a price that for 2 you couldn't buy one at a van shop and the brand is the same if not similar.
I have a little Independent van shop in Toowoomba that I go to and his prices leave all the others for dead, it's like going into Aladdins cave........................
