Hi everyone, I grew up caravanning at Wangi Wangi and The Entrance.
Life happened, and now I am Nan to 5 grandchildren. I really want them to experience the joy of caravanning holidays as I did as a child.
I recently hired an Expanda Van for a few days and I was blown away! Things have changed so much!
I now live in Victoria so I elected for Rosebud - great for the 4 and 7-year-olds but not so great for the older kids.
Anyway! Looking to buy an Expander Van later this year. All recommendations are appreciated re purchase and camping locations.

Thanks, Mel

Welcome to the forum, lots of friendly people here to offer advice as, and when, necessary. What size van are you looking for?

Well first important piece of info in your van selection process is what are you going to tow it with ????


I remember the old Rosebud, where the streets were sand and only the main drag and some bigger side streets were sealed............... it was such a lovely place then..

They call it "progress". Knock down a beautiful heritage home, and build concrete apartments.
The only hope is to show our kids the beauty and hope . sorry, ill step down off the soap box now.....

We all have our soapboxes and in most cases, they are well inspired and agreed upon by a lot of people. Good luck with your plans.
