Thought I should introduce myself after as I will now be joining the expander clan. I wanted to firstly thank everyone for their advice and posts I just love this forum and I am constantly telling my husband about things listed here including the stories and jokes. We are located in Victoria, family of 6 with 11, 7 year old boys and 5 yr old boy/girl twins - we finally ordered our van from Geelong today after many months of research. Went with the 17.56-1 touring model with a lot of extras thanks to all the advice on this forum, we won't be picking up till late nov so plenty to organise between now and then. Heading off around Australia for 6 months around Easter next year so our van will be getting lots of use. Next on our to do list will be the car to tow the van and in the meantime I am compiling a list of mods and thing to purchase for the new van when it arrives.
