16.49.3 OB proud owners

[Panda man]

Hi All,
My name is Tony and my wife and I are the lucky & proud new owners of brand spanking new jayco expanda 16.49.3 OB. We have had 3x trips now and absolutely love this new caravanning experience. We picked it up from Watsons at Coffs Harbour and on our way home realized from the waves from other caravanners on the road that we are part of a special community of likeminded people. I found this website by accident when I was looking up some info on WDH’s and cannot believe the quality of the posts. So many clever ideas & modifications, I don’t know where to start!!
All the best to you all & I look forward to putting in my 10 cents worth!!

Welcome Tony & Rosemary, to the friendliest forum around, Personally I think you've chosen the best model there but I'm biased. Is yours the one with the Club lounge or the Dinette like mine?
Regards Grant

Hi Grant,

Thanks for that welcome. We have the club lounge model which has a hinged section down the long side of the table for access to the front bed, and seems to be working really well. Just had our third weekend trip away and used the toilet for the first time at the patrons request(!), and did the walk of shame when we got home!!!

All the best

Thanks Cruza driver, i am towing with an 08 Hilux SR5 D4D which appears to be towing very well although on our last trip i bought a WDH after the great info i sourced on this site and now would not tow without it.

Look forward to talking again soon

All the best

Welcome Tony and Rosemary. As others have said, you have the pride of the fleet in the 16.49-3 but I'm bias too.
Enjoy the forum and the wealth of information contained within and welcome to the sleepless nights reading.

Thanks Anthony,

Yep biased indeed!!! We have been out in the van 3 times now and we are still coming to terms with a 5 minute setup as opposed to a 2hour setup with an off road camper trailer!!! So glad i discovered this site and the many friendly caravanners sending welcomes. Already planning to mod the cupboard next to the shower into a pantry thanks to a clever member!!

All the best & hope to see you out there sometime
