Welcome @willobee to the friendly forum. Another 'sand groper' to make up the numbers in the west. They are an active bunch over there so you should enjoy some good company. Just watch your wallet as everyone here will help you spend big on mods to your new van.

Hi @willobee and welcome to the forum from another "sandgroper"
Plenty of time to sort out your mods before pickup in August. Hopefully the time will fly!

We also went straight from the tent to a second hand 16.49.3 tourer and loved it....... Now loving the new 17.56.2 OB even more :love:

Keep your eyes on the WA Meets/Member Section for future get togethers. We're not a bad bunch no matter what anyone tells you eep:

Thankyou all for your welcomes.
Great to be aboard.
We cant wait to get out in the new addition with the kids.

Did pick from the posts that it seems relatively easy to part with the hard earned, but it all looks so much fun.
Will be sure to include some pics.

Kind regards
Will

Hi and welcome from another Perthite.
Looks like quite a few vans are going to be delivered in August. We're expecting ours in august as well after ordering it from the show. Apparently caravanland sold about 200 vans over the 5 days.

A lot to be said for the phrase happy wife happy life

One of the reasons we also ended up with an expanda and not a camper trailer

Yep. One of the reasons why we're going from the swan to a starcraft.

Reminds me of that jeep ad where the dad brings home the new car and his young bloke looks at the tinny in the carport and says to him 'We're gonna need a bigger boat'
