MDS69 - 14.44.4 OB At Home (Updated 15/06/15)

[MDS69]

Well just had the best phone call this week. Our Expanda is at the dealers after ordering in early July. Still 12 more sleeps till pick up.
This thread will become my build up and trip report section and maybe the odd question or 2.

Congrats a few sleepless nights for you

Great news. Our 14.4.4 has just arrived at the dealers as well. They must of come off the same run.

Welcome to another 14'er
We are empty nesters and retired so opted for the 14.44-5 OB so we could have the shower, toilet.
Have loved every minute of travelling with the Sea Dragon (name of Panda not SWMBO)
You will have fun doing the mods to make your van that little bit more comfortable, I did/do

Ditto to @chartrock and @Marv_mart, the 14 footer is really the unsung leader of the Expanda's, they will go/fit anywhere and as my daughter exclaimed " It's a Tardis, it's so much bigger"..................................

Longest 12 days of your life

one more sleep. An hour ago I finally finished in the dark my 12 pin socket and put a fuse on and connected my ESC supply at the battery after first installing the cable about 2 weeks ago. Put the towing mirrors and 'other' tow bar hitch for the Treg in the back of the car. Pick up booked for 1pm.
