Expanda question.

Tom
We have a standard 18Footer and although it tows like a charm on dirt roads ie graded dirt roads, it would not travel to well on light off road. It sits fairly close to the ground and when you go thru small creeks etc the back legs scrape, I would have if not for storage problems , got the extra height of the outback, we normally make a base camp somwere and tour off from there. the other thing that concerns me is although they call them outback, it is only the suspension that gets upgraded and all the internals are the same so gear goes every were inside the cupboards no matter how well you think you batten it down. But dont be put off they are a great fun van,plenty of room and good value for money, enjoy life
Cheers

Hi Tom,
I have a Expanda 16.49.1 Outback with simplicity suspension and like you I travel on dirt roads. I would definately recommend off road set up as the standard is very low and definately will scrape the back end of van when going over humps.

Have you thought of a Windsor Rapid
The solid top roof over the bed area is a lot better than canvas. Having camped with both the Rapid is overall a better quicker setup. In rain Jayco Expanda is a problem.
We have taken our Rapid on dirt roads. If corrugated let the tyres down 4 to 5 psi.
Truth be known you see no outback/offroad vans off road. You get to places that are a bit offroad and find standard vans and generally Evernew, Roma, older Jayco, Windsors and Millards.
