Sounds like a great adventure coming up next year, am interested to learn bit about size and configurations etc of the Coromal, 18 months ought be a very enjoyable time so long as the the Van layout and features do what you need.

We have a Princeston 549 GREAT VAN but when we brought it didn't want a toilet and shower 5 yrs down the track we do.

The lifestyle is not as flash as the Princeston but the l635 at 48,000 is value for money front bed central galley and dinette with the full en suite across the back .
We did a quick 5 and half months round the block in 05 so looking forward to a slower more leisurely trip.

Where are you and which model do you want.

Plenty of them in Perth except for Princeton 754s and big sale going as well

We were lucky??? and picked up one in Geraldton straight off the yard

Will be in Albany this week and the dealer there is advertising on TV he has the full range.

Cheers

Seems to be Coromal Month ;)
Just bought a 2008 Compac Pioneer 402 Friday last week from Bris caravan show, ex demo, never registered, New. Get it this Friday. Plan on going away next Friday ;)
Exciting!
Now, just deciding on extras for later. In particular, aircon. Have a small portable aircon, which does for a moderately sized room, and a 2200w generator (A cheapie, so 2200W is likely optimistic ;) Will be curious to see if it powers it.
Then an awning...then something else...the van seems the cheap bit ;)

A bit of advice for both of you.

Make sure they repack your bearings PROPERLY

Coromal are short of grease I think and only show the grease to them when they assemble them.
Mine were vrtually dry when we pulled the wheels off before taking delivery and the mechanics said business a usual.
