Goodbye Swan, Hello Expander

[Drewser]

Hey everyone, just ordered a baby expander to replace our swan camper, loved using the swan but got a little annoying packing up and didn't use it enough for short, w/end trips because of that. We found that size wise we had plenty of room especially with full annex so went for the 14.44-4, full annex, solar pack and other stuff, now my girls are happy because they get bunks instead of sharing. Hopefully will have her before Christmas.
Andrew and Cindy.

:welcome: to the form @Drewser

Did you get an OB o the touring model?

 

[Soaring]

Welcome @Drewser . I was just saying on another thread that I watched a family set up a Swan next to us on Saturday. It took them an hour and 15 to get it done.
You won't look back with the expanda.

@Drewser welcome.

Sold my Swan Outback one year ago. Bought a 16.49.3 and have never looked back. Love to go away free camping with the kids and the dogs for the weekend. I've even been known to come home and thoroughly clean the van a week later, lol.

@17triton, Getting through Bayswater Jayco, same place we bought the swan 4 years ago, trading the swan in on her, great trade in only lost a couple of grand in that time. @cruza driver, just getting the standard, would of liked the OB but she who controls the money had final say, we do usually stay in caravan parks and go exploring without the van, but with the solar pack will do a little more free camping hopefully. @Soaring' to be honest putting up the swan was ok it was the 2 hours packing up before hitting the road for a big drive that was the problem for me. @Four_Happy_Campers that's what I'm talking about, the plan is minimum once a month get away for w/end plus long w/ends etc etc.

Hi @Drewser, we just had our first weekend away in our new 14.44-4. We also had a Jayco Swan, only used it 3 times, and decided to trade it in for the Expanda. Very happy and a breeze to set up. Our 2 boys are also very happy with the bunk beds..... teenage boys who hated the Swan, but absolutely loves the Expanda. Can't wait for our next trip!

Welcome to the pack @Drewser , you'll love the expanda, it's just the wait that seems to go forever!

Welcome aboard Andrew and Cindy

 

[macca]

Instead of OB you could go underslung. Does not cost much at all on a brand new van. Maybe $150.

 

[BUSH PALACE]

Welcome Drewster you wont look back

 

[Bank of Dad]

We went from an Eagle to 17.56-2: you won't look back and regret it!

 

[Drewser]

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone, you're right @crackacoldie, the wait is gonna kill me.:hurt-41:

 

[Wanda]

Welcome @Drewser . Don't stress about the wait, there's plenty of stuff on here to look at, plenty to learn about and lots of things to plan. Helped keep me and Mr. W sane :der: (Well, sort of :smile We ordered back in April - delivery this Thursday!
