Hi Everyone

I first discovered this forum 4weeks ago and have read almost every thread in the hunt for information about expandas. I am happy to report I found a treasure trove of genuine information, however I am much happier to report that I also found the friendliest forum on the internet!! you guys rock.

Today wifey and I after much searching went to camperland in Brisbane and signed on the line for a spanking new 20.63-1 OB expanda and we couldn't be more excited or happier about our decision. We collect on Friday 27th (floor stock purchase) so not to long to wait.

We have two kiddies, 4yrs and 9weeks old, we also now have a extended family very keen on joining us, so this evening we are choosing all the places we want to visit in the coming months as a bit of a shake down and to get to know the van. Then we are planning a longer 6 week trip in jan/feb.

I look forward to asking many bad newbie questions and posting many photos in the year ahead.

Thanks again for creating such a awesome community

The Moore Family

Welcome aboard @Moore Family, we like to think it is a friendly forum and we look forward to more (Moore?) pictures and trip reports from you as well as any mods you plan and fit. Looks like an awesome van you have bought.

Where abouts in SE Qld are you based?

Hi Chartrock
We are based on the southside of Brisbane nr Rochdale. As for the mods, they will be many and plentiful... I just need to recover from the shock of the purchase order first....lol

Hi Davemc

Because it was floor stock and used as a display in the Brisbane show we didn't have a much of a say in the accessories.
But here is the list.
Larger fridge/freezer and relocation of microwave.
Bike rack
Additional solar panel
26" TV and digital aerial
Stereo and 4 Speakers
3 x additional double electric sockets
larger digital control panel
extended drawbar 300cm
2 x external foldout tables (retro fitted at wifes request)

I think when it was speced they ticked most of the boxes :)

My wife has just returned from BBQs galore with a new webber :D for our new expanda

We collect the van at 10am this Friday the 27th and the whole family is so excited.
Then after the 2.5hr collection/intro to the expanda it's off home to pack it up.

Once packed we are off to test it out. We have booked weekend fri-sun at the forest glen big 4 park on the Sunshine Coast as a shakedown for the van (and us)

It's looks like an easy 1hr drive for the first time out...
