Only had the Expanda a few months and we are loving it..Done quite a few trips mostly free camping andway to many Mods to list.. This modding thing is addictive. My wife thinks im having an affair with the van as i'm always working on it..
Here are a few pics..................
.
Just picked up all nice and new....
All packed and ready for a 24 Mountain bike race weekend in Canberra
All setup bush camping on the water
Here are a few Mods I have done
Fabricated new Gas bottle holders to fit the Light weight waterproof Spacecase. It is home to the Webber Baby Q and all the cooking gear, Flat Pack fire pit, Fresh water hoses, awning tarps. Its amazing how much it holds and is water and dust proof.
Gas Bottle relocation
Space for Firewood where the spare tyre used to go which is now relocated at the back underneath with a winch setup.
2 x 100mm storage pipes for tent poles, awning bars etc
PVC foldup chairs under front bedend
Alarmed cable lock to lockup the BBQ, Bikes Chairs etc...
Awning protector Mod
Solar regulator, Inverter controller
Winch under chassis mounted for spare wheel storage
Extension bar to wind up and down spare tyre at side of van
Mounted to top of rear bar chassis mount using existing holes with longer bolts. No new holes needed to be drilled. Nice high fit to keep full rear clearance.
Projector IP2000 Inverter
RVD safety switch The unit uses the active and neutral sensor wires to monitor any voltage detection and current flowing to the earth/sensor wire to provide true earth leakage protection when running a generator or inverter power
230AH Deepcycle AGM Battery. This thing is awesome for the power hungry running the microwave, charging all the i devices the kids have. Lighter and smaller than 2 x 110AH batteries.
Internal bilge blower system to stop dust getting in when travelling in the red dirt using a washable filter.
Also done all the usual mods like tidy up Jayco's poor 12v wiring, added USB and acc plug outlets throughout, water filter for drinking water, convert hanging clothes cupboard to pantry, Fridge fan internal and external Mod, cover all water pipes and wiring underneath with flex conduit and plumber pipe covering, 50+ John Guest circlips on all water pipes as jayco generally forget to put them in, bed end storm covers, various hooks and netting to store power cables, broom and ladder under rear bed end.
Ive been a busy boy but the vans almost ready for the big half lap i will be doing with the family in August.
Getting excited with only a few months to go before we depart.
Cheers
Dean
