I took the wife into Caravanland last week to talk her out of getting a van (in hindsight not a good move). Ended up buying a 17.56-02 Outback after seeing the van I secretly wanted and it looked amazing. The wife was stoked because it means no more 3hr setups and parkways when camping and the kids will (hopefully) stay dry.
We've got four kids under 6 so the Expanda was a natural choice. Id read plenty of horror stories re bed ends and poor build quality but having read hundreds of posts from other members on here it is reassuring to hear there are plenty of happy owners out there and that Jayco tend to sort most things out.
Modifications wise we have got:
Extended drawer bar
Extra 12v outlets
ESC
Shelves in the robe
Fusion Stereo Premium upgrade
Caravanland include the swivel coupling and control panel at no cost (which is a bonus as I wanted both).
Im still toying up with an external shower, jerry can holder and will be requesting them to relocate the jockey wheel to the inside of the A Frame and move the heater switch from the floor. Are there other mods or requests I should make before final sign off?
Im interested in other owners thoughts on the stereo. They had to show us one on a Silverline (its not the normal Fusion unit) so Im hopeful that it will be exactly the same unit (MS-700) I think. what is the sound quality of these like? I don't intend on blasting it through caravan parks but it is always handy when free camping away from others!
Ive read up on the swivel coupling and it seems you can get an adaptor plate to fit to the Hayman Reese WDH to make it work together. Do Jayco use a genuine Treg Hitch at the moment?
We are both really excited and now have around 115 days to go until the end of september. Something tells me its going to be a very long wait!
