RV REVIEW
The nearside gets a roll-out awning ; however , the rear awning arm must be opened in order to access the toilet cassette – no big deal , really .
You might be thinking that this extensive list of features sounds like a lot of weight . Well , it ’ s actually not too bad . The van tips the scales at 2244kg Tare , with an unladen ball weight of 229kg . The ATM of 2749kg gives it a payload capacity of 505kg . Overall , this is a seriously well-executed caravan .
CLASSY FITOUT
The thought and attention to detail continue on the inside . The eastwest bed is a space-saver that allows for the van to comfortably include a rear kids ’ room with a couple of bunks , and a nearsidecorner combo shower / toilet .
The dinette has a couple of optional USB points nearby but the best part is that the table lowers electrically to form the base of another bed – just push a button on a remote control and the table will lower itself . It ’ s a fantastic innovation . All bed lights have built-in USB points as well .
Speaking of innovations , Goldstream has given the van an optional ARL pressure hatch . Rather than a traditional pressure hatch , which relies on the van to be towed , this one is electric . It uses a fan to provide consistent internal pressurisation .
