Hi there, I have just joined up after being told about this page last month whilst staying in Batemans Bay, NSW. We have an 18.57-7 that we found in Perth after many many months of looking on the net. With only one owner before us and less than 1000kms traveled, she was like brand new. We are currently in our last month of a three month trip around Victoria, ACT and southern NSW. We are heading back along the Murray River and then straight back to Kalgoorlie. The 18.57-7 is our first van after many years of swags and then a camper trailer and we have been very happy with it. I have not done many extras to her yet other than installing a 200 watt solar system and 2 x gel batteries, also a 12volt to 240v inverter and replaced all lights with LEDs. I have a few more planned when we get home including a satellite dish fixed on the roof so no more messing around trying to find the satellites. As we mainly free camp I am hoping to be able to fit another water tank in somewhere (with three of us it does not last very long). So far we have had a blast of a time and both tug (Narvara v6 d 2012) and expanda have not missed a beat.
