Hi, I have joined up with this forum, tho I have been looking at it for a while. Myself, wife and 9yr old daughter and 7 yr old son love our 16 ft expanda brought new 2 and a half years ago. We have done a 6 week trip S.A. , Tas. via vic.. 2 week central N.S.W. and 3 week out to Broken Hill down to Vic. and home plus numerous weekend trips. I tow with a 2010 ford ranger wildtrack which has given me only a couple of little troubles, one being snapped pin in already recalled and replaced tow tongue/tow bar. A few missed heartbeats later and van stayed straight held up by crossed over safety chains and then a change of undies and all was good, no damage. The other prob was I boiled the auto trans oil by shifting down to 2nd, hill got steeper but stays locked in 2nd and wont change down unless you do it manually or put it back in D. Luckily ford gearbox oil pan is 3 to 4 inches deeper than mazda auto and no damage done. Only mods to van are shelving in cupboard, and same wet matteress as it seems everyone gets but I lowered gas strut mount on bottom mounting so front lid is at slightly more of an angle. seems to be at same angle as rear lid now and has seemed to eliminated wet front bed. Mind you after looking at forum, a lot of ideas I have had are going to happen shortly with the help of other forum pictures. No problems with van other than replacing all screws in drawer runners with longer ones as some had fallen out on drive home from dealer. Will put up some pictures when wife gets home as I am not that good with computers
