Took the van out for spin to the brother's joint in Bendigo over the weekend. Nothing special, didn't even really pack the van up. Just threw some clothes in it, milk and fruit in the fridge and off we went. After a few quiet months of not doing much, it was awesome just to get out there again and start thinking more about the Big Lap in a few years...
Stopped in at Bunnings and bought a socket and drill bit adaptor (along with a new drill... ssshhh.... :spy:....) and now use the cordless to wind the legs down... Why haven't I done this earlier???
Now have at least 4 trips planned between now and January, with a couple more thrown in if we can....

Doesn't take much to get the juices flowing, we often do a short trip to Maroochydore/Cotton Tree/Mooloolaba etc which is only minutes away and feels like we are miles away. once the reno is complete we may even go to Noosa lol
from the 2nd trip I did in my old Jayco Dove - socket & ratchet
never thought about the drill - got hundreds of them floating around here......
just cant match the chargers to the drills........... bin job soon
Finally got around to replacing my "work around" with a proper solution...
Why the hell do they make these things so fidgety to install?? Must be a better solution... Still, it's in and installed. Now just have to remember to tighten them up before we leave...
@Smergen just found your thread a day or two ago...its been a great read. lots of good information, good laughs regarding loos and so on. Crusty181 story - good vid dagree sent links to family...they all loved it
Mrs Dagree still gags at the thought of emptying them 
To be honest emptying ours doesn't bother me at all there's just one rule I use when doing it "don't wear thongs "Mrs Dagree still gags at the thought of emptying them

I fail to see what your "under garments" have to do with emptying the cartridge
At your peril .... we each have to discover this for ourselves
Well after two months, some 1500km, trips from Warrnambool to Wakiti Creek, a few EDU members visitor, a Xmas and New Year Party, a buff and polish and a drawn out trip to Jayco... the Marshian's van is finally home... It's shinier than ever (thanks @17triton), the light over the table finally works and a whole bunch of leaks sorted out... So a fruitful trip, but I'm glad she's back home!
it's nice to have it in the shed even if it's not needed, just knowing its ready to hook up for a spur of the moment getaway. great to here it's home.
Well, it's with a (slightly) heavy heart that we bid adieu to our beloved Expanda. We've only had it for a short 20 months or so, but looking back on it, I reckon we've managed to squeeze a few adventures in....
And that doesn't include the 3 or 4 trips to park it in my brothers yard in Bendigo.
She's been a ripper van, we've loved the adventures it's brought to our life. It's gone to another young family looking to start their caravanning adventures. Here's hoping she's as good to them as she was to us.
This van brought us to this forum, and through that we've made lifelong friends. I do owe this van quite a lot!
