New to Expanda Downunder, Looking to buy Jayco Expanda

[thornwaterfall]

Hi everyone, I'm Matthew, live at Waterfall in Sydney's south. Currently have a 30sec tent, and I enjoy getting away even if its just for a couple of days. I'm looking to buy a Jayco expanda in the future, Models 14.44-4 or 16.49-1B. Currenty have a Holden Commodore VX2 Wagon. Married with a 1 child.

How great is this site!!!!

Welcome Matt, yep great site, you'll get lost with all the info on here. I don't think you'll be disappointed with an Expanda, a few little fixes and mods here and there but you get that with any van!

Cheers.

Welcome Matt. What is the tow capacity of the wagon? Just need to make sure the ATM of the van does not exceed capacity.

Welcome Matt, glad you found the site and can certainly recommend the 14' :wink: We have a few Holden tugs on the forum and I'm sure they will post up soon with their setup. Get the van and enjoy.

The Commodore is an auto so It capacity if 2100kg.

Welcome Matthew, sure is a great forum and that little bit better now for you joining. Share your move from tenting to Expanda with us all. Remember the only "silly" question is the one you don't ask. Don't be frightened to go bigger than a 14 if you can manage it - we really just need more Expandas ​not just 14's!

Welcome to the forum Matthew.
I know setting up an expanda is fast, but going from a 30sec tent to an expanda may be pushing my record set up time.
Enjoy the forum.
