Life After An Expanda
- Thread starter Angus
- Start date
I love @Billrw136 `s new Journey outback but only 2 berth which I`m not ready for yet but something like that down the track would be great.
I think you all need to wash hour mouths out with soap.....there is no life after an expanda! 
I wasnt aware of any other vans.:noidea:
Hey @Angus
I guess it depends what you are looking for? Is is the bed ends you don't like? Or is it the shear amount of silicon that Jayco use along with the requirement of knowing how to rebuild the inside of your van :mikecool: and you wanted to move away from the brand? If you were looking at moving away from the brand, have a think about this comment. I asked a caravan repair agent once (and no not affiliated with jayco) if other brands have as many issues as the Jaycos do? He said to me that if you look at the market share that Jayco have and compare the market share of the other brands, that in his opinion, all brands probably have around the same amount of faults its just with Jayco you hear more about their faults again because of the market share that Jayco have. He also mentioned to me that Jayco are MUCH better at covering issues outside the warranty period than the other brands.
Just food for thought. Im not trying to sway your judgement one way or another but just trying to give you as much information as possible to help make your decsion harder... LOL
Good luck in making it. Its not an easy one.
oh and as @cruza driver said... are there other brands out there??? :rockon:

We went from a 16.49-2 Outback to a 20.62-3 Starcraft and love it.
The Expanda was of course brilliant (one of the first hardlids and we had it for 5 years) and the bigger van meant bigger tug.
But the single bed setup we opted for kept the floor space (front to rear) we were used to in the Expanda.
Sticking with Jayco for us meant good value and unbeatable resale.

Yeah we went from a 16/49-1 expanda to a discovery with bunks but that was not for us so back we went to a 20/63-1 expanda and never looked back.
We will eventually move on to a Lotus but that is yeeeeeaaaarrrrrsssss away.
But Brad, imagine Expandas years away, they will probably have that 90 deg bed you have been after and no canvas. Could be Silverline Expanda with electric slideout beds each end and comfy mattress'.

You are a visionary!
Ahh yes very true.... The long term plan to move to the dark side may be saved still.But Brad, imagine Expandas years away, they will probably have that 90 deg bed you have been after and no canvas. Could be Silverline Expanda with electric slideout beds each end and comfy mattress'
