2014 Expanda OB 17.56.....
- Thread starter TRAKADU
- Start date
We just bit the bullet and bought the Jayco Bed ends last week which was on our wish list for a while. They were much better than my home made ends :encouragement: so I am really happy with the results. It is reasonably easy to install - bit of mucking around with removing the rubber seal and putting it back on...I chose to install it on the inside frame rather than outside. Enough typing, see the pics...

Hi all, we took the expanda for couple of nights camping near Glenmaggie last weekend. We camped by the Macalister River near Hayfield and the place was an absolute beauty except for the long grass.... There was plenty of water in the River and campground had dedicated fire pits and picnic tables. All in all, it was pretty good. We had rain on the first night which means the Jayco bed ends were put to the test. Not a single drop of water leaked and the beds were bone dry.... happy campers!!

I saw your Caravan camping at the Macalister River during Xmas a few people thereHi all, we took the expanda for couple of nights camping near Glenmaggie last weekend. We camped by the Macalister River near Hayfield and the place was an absolute beauty except for the long grass...
I was camping up the road in our new Expanda (Not O/B Model) in Licola
By the way its called Heyfield lol im from that town lol
lol, it is time to give that town a new name... a good pickup Peter... it is of course called Heyfield.
As for the TV bracket, I bought it from a company in QLD. Ordered over the phone and I think it cost me around $130 Plus the quick release bracket $25 (from memory). The TV arm is called C.ME monitor arm.

Had to change the profile picture as we changed our tow rig recently. It was time to say goodbye to my Jeep and welcome the mighty Land Cruiser . I must admit Cruiser pulls the Expanda with no issue.. We took the new combination down to Gippsland (Walhalla) last weekend and Cruiser did a marvellous job. With rear airbag suspension, there was no rear wheel sagging as I don't use WD Bars. I have some pics of the new cruiser and camp ground.

You are spot on Curza driver. It was like step back in time (about 200 years).. one of my favourites too. In fact, we are planning to go again in the coming weeks. This time we might camp at the Chinees Garden Camping Ground. You need to book it though but looks neat and clean. We didn't do the train ride as it was an overnighter. had to pack up the next day. Will do all that next trip.
Whilst the Jeep is a pretty capable tow rig I reckon (IMHO) you can't beat the Cruiser. I don't think the cruiser was challenged at any point during the trip. I remember the Jeep used to struggle going uphill. But the main issue I had with the jeep was trying to level the damn thing. With no WDB, the Jeep's rear end used to sag which caused trailer sway couple of times. Cruiser got few mods done to avoid this.....
