17.56-2 ordered

[Themoneypennys]

Hi there,
After hiring an expanda and watching the site for a while (oh and a lot of hassling from 3 boys) we finally ordered our new van today at the Perth show. Looking forward to getting out there in it now.
Love the site lots of good info, helped in making our decision.

Welcome to the forum moneypennys, lots of friendly people and helpful hints here. I gather you are from WA so you have quite a few 'sandgroper' mates on the site. Keep us posted on the progress and post some pictures when you can.

Neil,

Nice list of extras.

Did you also get the hot water service and 2nd 9kg gas bottle fitted for the external shower, or are you going to brave the cold showers and use it to wash off the dirt/sand?

 

[Xpandafan]

Welcome and congratulations on the new van and on joining this community. We'll share the countdown with you.

 

[Lara]
