G'day,

My fiancée and I have a 2010 eagle that we bought new two years ago. We love the eagle (dubbed Smeagol) but echo the frustrations of many when concerned with setup time, dirty awnings etc.
We are thinking of selling Smeagol next year and upgrading to an expanda.
I tow with a diesel territory, which has been a godsend of an upgrade compared to my old commodore.

That being said we have had some great trips in Smeagol (Adelaide, Carnarvon Gorge) and we are heading up to Arlie Beach next week for 8 nights to escape the Victorian winter.

I have really enjoyed reading all the posts on this site and find the knowledge some people have amazing.

Cheers and hope to see some of you at happy hour somewhere in our great country.

G'Day and welcome to the forum guys, Campers are great but it's just natural progression to go from tent , camper, caravan..... Good luck with it.

Welcome to the forum.Yep we are also going from a Jayco camper to a Expanda (14.44.4).Same as you we got a bit tired of the set up,pack up,awning,bed flys,lack of storage etc.Have a good look at the 14 series (we need the numbers) If you dont want to tow anything too big.
Cheers

Thanks to all for their warm welcome. A particular "lol" to electricguru. My partner and I have even gone to the extent of writing which options we would consider when buying an expanda and have put the list on the fridge. Can't wait for Friday! West wyalong Friday night then goondawindi, rockhampton and finally Arlie!

Hi guys. We are currently in Rockhampton and ate hitting Arlie tomorrow. The road from Goondiwindi to here was pretty bumpy. It reminded me of the road from Bourke to Mitchell. Lots of roadworks and pot holes.
Mother nature treated us to a magnificent sound and light show on the first day. Wow! 26 degrees and very comfy now. Happy holidays!

We are now back home and had a great time at Arlie jet skiing, snorkeling etc. I was silently happy when the wife to be mentioned that she can't wait to upgrade our eagle because of the setup times.
