How did you find out about Expandas Downunder?

[S&P]

Prior to buying our Expanda, I was Googling 16.49-3 OB looking for a secondhand one, found a link to a few posts on here from members with the same model and just started reading about their travels/mods etc and was pretty well hooked from them. Loads of great info, and a wealth of knowledge shared.

I was looking for info on the 14.44-5 OB that we just bought and this came up on the first page.
The rest is history. If only I had found this earlier and we would have had a lot lot of extras added to our production order like extra power points, 12v points etc, etc.
Oh well, ended up following the lead set by others and did my own mods and/or modified others to suit my van, that's what mods mean doesn't it? Anyway, I love the forum and the help advice and stories told by others even if some of you no longer have an Expanda and have graduated to StarCraft. Cheers

While in coral bay this year, a 14-44 was parked behind friends of our, and they had a dog similar to ours. We got talking, had a look in the van, she mentioned the site after we mentioned we were looking to upgrade from our swan.

It wouldn't have been @Nagga's in a 2104 14.44 would it @Smirke ?

Can't remember their names, but the wife cuts the dogs hair herself, and the dog was 2 yrs old. (Started out black and was now very pale. )
It had the green decals so could have been a 2014 model. They were on the end of the last row in the dog section in bayview CP.
(I know, I know. I remember all the important info.)

Were they from the Pilbara @Smirke ?

Were they from the Pilbara @Smirke ?

Hubby just said yes. Either from Karratha or Tom price. (She was a hairdresser by trade). Apparently their friends were behind us in people's park for the first week of the holidays.

Sounds like it was most probably @Nagga's .
It's a small world as her and I probably crossed paths at Caravanland without know it!!!!!! We picked up our vans on the same morning.

 

[Nagga's]

Lol @dagree and @Smirke! Been to busy to get on here for a while but will be back in The Bay on the 28th WITHOUT the dog!!! Very good memory too @Smirke, have you upgraded to your Expanda yet? We have been any where since we saw you guys and it's killing me but not long and we will be gone for 4 weeks

 

[dagree]

Enjoy the 4 weeks away @Nagga's and welcome back
As soon as @Smirke mentioned a 14'er at Coral Bay had an idea it might've been you...... Doubt if she'll answer tonight as she's in a different timezone and might be ni ni.

They drove to Melbourne this week and picked up their 21.64OB Expanda this morning and heading off on their shakedown trip along the east coast and back to WA. (Lucky Bugga's)

Maybe its a good idea to refresh this thread again, seems like there have been many more new members join since last Dec.

Interesting which mag?

I will have to have a look through my pile and get back to you.It was early last year.

Really don't remember but I think I was just googling and found it.

 

[Dobbie]

I googled Expanda and found it that way....and found out more about expandas than anywhere else could offer.

Got hooked as the comments / suggestions were helpful and not just a bleat, as on other forums.

Interesting which mag?

@expanda I checked through some of my mags and didn't find the reference
I am pretty sure it was a Caravan and motorhome mag.
The article was about weights and how much water tanks weigh when full and they used an expander as example.
They gave the web address for this site and the other caravan site as a reference.
