to give you an example

I did weight everything that went into my Flamingo when we first brought it - and I was still under limit (just I must add)
when we moved from the Flamingo to the 16' Expanda, 7 x 50L plastic boxes of stuff never made it into the Expanda..........

I have lots and lots of semi empty cupboards now

some one on here once said about buying a packet of those little stick on dots...... mark everything as it goes into the Van, if you use it, take the dot off. After 2 or 3 trips, anything with dots still on it, leaves the Van......... Never to return

sounds like a good idea - except, I would probably "fiddle" and pull the dots off anything near by...........

Pretty right there @bigcol , I just chuck it in, the van lets you know if youv'e put too much in or wrong spot but with just 2 we don't carry excess now, tyre pressure to match load very important.

Delivery is getting close. Handover is booked for Sept 16th. Twelve pin plug has been wired-in and have a new Tow Pro brake controller installed.

Get to try it out at Newnes a few days later.

Well we picked up the Expanda yesterday and spent today going through the manuals and packing all our gear into it.

As we half expected, the rear door of the Pajero won't open now, so it's either a spare wheel lift kit or a new tow hitch.

Heading of on Saturday to use it for the first time, all very excited.

Yes, we did stay for longer than expected. Last minute decision to go to Hill End. Here are some of the photos. First one os the day we collected the van. The others are at Hill End.

I think I made a bit of a meal of posting the photos! Also realised I hadn't taken any photos of the interior.... I'll take some soon.
