RV REVIEW
YOU WON ' T BELIEVE HOW MUCH GEAR IS ON BOARD !

Question : how many caravan manufacturers use their own vans for R & D purposes ? I don ’ t know the answer , but I do know that Goldstream RV is one of them .
In fact , this single-axle caravan , dubbed the 1800 EWB ST Bunk , has hit the road for a trip to the Top End . One of the owners of Goldstream RV has taken this actual van on a lengthy getaway through the heart of the country . But we had the opportunity to first take it for a test tow .
And let me tell you , this compact family van is packed with so much gear that it ’ s hard to know where to start …
ENDLESS FEATURES
The first thing to understand is that it is fitted with Goldstream RV ’ s Rhino Pack , the premium suite of additions that a customer can add to their van . It includes things like a grey water tank , a smart TV , a battery management system , a couple of solar panels , Cruisemaster XT independent coil suspension , and so much more .
The Rhino Pack would ordinarily include two 100Ah chassismounted lithium batteries ; however , Goldstream RV has instead given this particular van a single 200Ah battery .
