 The manufacturer (Columbia Northwest) says: "In 2008, the Expedition was completely redesigned, improving on a time tested model. The new Expedition is longer, wider and has higher side walls, all of which provides more living space inside. Flush-mount sink and stove allow for higher cabinets, making cooking more enjoyable. The large storage trunk has divided compartments to allow for separation of breakable items, like fishing poles, from heavy items, like your kids’ duffle bags."
