Hi Everyone,

We, like so many, have just recently traded our Swan camper to a 14.44-5 Expanda and cannot wait until we take delivery of it in a couple of weeks. Our kids are growing up now and don't always want to travel with their parents (not cool) so we have decided on the smaller Expanda with an ensuite and have an ordered an annex so that the kids can still travel with us if they want!! After many years of travelling with campers - including a 7 month trip around Australia in 2005 - we decided that it was time to have an easier set up and a few creature comforts!! At this stage we have added a windup aerial and an external table and TV point for the annex and will use the van a few times to see what else we might like to add to make the van our own!! Very excited, lots to learn but have enjoyed reading some of the helpful tips and advice from the forums so far so thank you :)
Will post some pics soon!

Thanks for the welcome everyone! We are from Ballarat - yes another Victorian - and we have a 2006 Nissan Navara turbo diesel which has been a fantastic vehicle. The local Jayco dealership had their big expo this weekend.

Another Victorian to the fold. I'll appologise for the members in the other states up front nicey. They have taken to commenting on our lack of quality weather over the last few months.

Welcome Nicey. Keep reading posts (old and new). This old dog's picked up some great ideas even after over 30 years of vanning. You'll love you're Expanda move and with your experience the transition will be a breeze.
