Another expanda member

[surfingbird]

Hi all,

Just bought a 2005 18.5 expanda. its full height, got the slide out lounge, and the toilet shower.

some extra goodies it had in it was a 240v pump (cant figure out what its for though), dual batteries, and toolboxes on the back bumper. its also got the awning, and a full annex.

just had my shakedown weekend last weekend, and will be going away for a week on friday.

im towing it with a 2004 5 speed auto prado V6, with a fuel truck following me

Hi surfingbird, welcome to the forum mate. Congrats on the van...are you sure it's a 240v pump? Normally there's a 12v pump for water when unpowered, unless it's an aftermarket mod.

Cheers,
Burnsy.

yeah there is the flowjet type 12v pump next to the hot water, then there is this big beast, that is next to it..

Welcome surfingbird.
Nice choice of expanda model. Very nice choice indeed.
Toolboxes on the back sounds interesting. Got any pics?

Welcome Surfingbird. Experts agree that a proper "18" with a slide out lounge is an excellent choice. That's those of us on this forum who have them! Check out my pics for a few mods (made with considerable help from forum members). Look forward to some pics.
