Hi Everyone!
We are a family of 4 (hubby, me, 4 year old and 3 year old) and we are in the process of selling our property, moving to my BIL's rental property and purchasing a 17.56-2OB. We saw them in Adelaide over the weekend, and it sealed the deal with us to sell up and buy one! We are hoping to head off for 9 months next year (minimum) and travel as much as we can with our kids - they LOVE caravanning (currently have a 1967 Franklin Regent).
Just a couple of questions - we've been doing a lot of research about the Expandas and have come across a few horror stories. If we are going to pay $40k+ for a van we'd like to make sure everything works and we won't have ongoing issues. When we looked at the one in Adelaide we noticed that some of the finishings weren't brilliant (but can overlook that), but hearing people having problems with water leaks, gas...we are a little concerned. How has everyone else found theirs? we've noticed quite a few second hands one for sale (2011 model).Is that a bad sign.
Secondly, we have a 1990 NG Pajero (the old girl!). Will she have any problems pulling this?
Lastly, we run our own business (which will come with us). I remember reading a while back that you can purchase dishes that have both internet and tv. Does anyone have one of these?
We are all so excited about heading off on our trip. Hubby and I went on a working holiday through the top of SA, NT and WA for 2 years before we had kids (and in our little Franklin Regent). Best thing we have ever done!
Thanks Everyone!
