Greetings from NW QLD

[Brad & Donna]

Hi All,

I must confess I am not one much for forums but after following this one for a while and being an expanda owner I was encouraged by the amount of positive and friendly advice that was around ... so I jumped in.

We have had our 18.57.6 OB for just over a year upgading from Campers and tents - after much nagging from the better half I finally agreed a caravan was the way to go - and I have to admit she was right (hope she does not read this !). We drag it around with a 200 series Cruiser and together I believe they make nearly the perfect combo for us and the 2 billy lids.

I look forward to everyone stories, pictures and advice and hopefully I may be able to help someone as well.

Welcome Brad. I'm sure Donna is right most of the time! Nice to have another 18 in the stable.
This forum is certainly different, and will be all the better for your regular participation. Any mods yet?

Hi Xpandafan - Thanks for the warm welcome. No major mods to speak about so far, we were pretty well spec'd up when it arrived. Mainly been getting all the little things right inside and out and each time we go away another thing goes on the list for when we get home to buy or tweak. The major item on the list about to be finalized is getting rid of the 150lt 3 way fridge - upgrading to the 180lt Compressor fridge. We have had a lot of trouble with the 3 way only because of the heat in NW Qld (anything over 35 and it struggles big time). Jerry can holders are my current project and have been looking around at a few others to see what works best.

And if you don't like the scenery, you just roll over it.
