Hi guys, I've been a regular visitor to this fantastic forum for a while now, and finally decided I need to join. We have a 2010 Jayco 16.49.2 and absolutely love it. We is my wife, 3 boys and a girl. We are pretty busy with kids sport and try to get away whenever we can. We bought the expanda in April 2011, it was 2 weeks old when we bought it. The guy who we bought it from had an unexpected, large bill to pay and he reluctantly sold it below his purchase price. we were about to order the exact spec expanda, so his loss was our gain. I will post some pics when I get the van out of the shed next.

Welcome Willy. Glad you decided to join us. Bargains can be had. Our Swan was model with 4 seasons hatch that sale fell through; our OR Flamingo (used just 2 weeks) we found after purchaser decided he'd go for a full size van instead. Still had the sold sticker with his name on it and hadn't been opened up- so no one had paid attention to it. The Expanda was placed on consignment the day we called into Jayco just for a browse. Skipped the waiting period three times in about 30 years. Love watching others wait...but doubt I'd have the patience.
