Hi All
Firstly great forum..wish I'd found it 4 months ago!
We are looking for and have been looking for a few months for a expanda, due to budget restraints we are looking for a used model around the 2005-2008 range, we would really like a toilet/shower and are more than happy with the smaller combo bathroom.
But I suppose my real question is do we get an outback knowing (well 99% thinking) the closest this van will ever get to anything like outback is the gravel driveway into a country caravan park/bush camp. Seems they are a bit easier to find with the ensuite in the outback models but are also more pricey - what has your experiences been with resale and demand for the outback vs touring versions?
I'll be towing with the latest model Holden Colorado (company car before everyone tells me it's rubbish - we all know company cars pull harder and go better in reverse than any other car known to man...and fuel consumption when towing doesn't bother me in the slightest!) so will the extra weight and height beall that noticeable from a safety point of view?
Thank you to anyone able to offer some advice - can't wait to join you all out there
Cheers
Mike
