Along the offside , this van had an optional slide-out Dometic kitchen as part of the Rhino pack . This self-supporting kitchen , properly positioned out from under the awning , has three gas burners and a sink with hot and cold water . Obviously , this kitchen needs to be connected to the van ’ s gas supply via a bayonet coupling . The bayonet has not just been slapped to the chassis rail , as you ’ ll see on many vans . Rather , it ’ s neatly protected by checkerplate – brilliant .
Other features include anti-insect LEDs , a couple of optional speakers , and an optional gullwing toolbox on the A-frame .
The rear bumper is equipped with two jerry can holders along with one spare wheel . And no , Goldstream hasn ’ t forgotten to give this van a reversing / driving camera !
Our 1500 QB Rhino had a Tare of 2116kg – not bad , all things considered . The ATM , meanwhile , was 2716 , giving the van a payload capacity of 600kg .
GORV ’ S VERDICT
I always feel as though caravans are better when the people who make them actually use their products . I happen to know that this is the case with Goldstream . That ’ d be why everything is so well protected – they ’ ve taken the vans into the bush , damaged things here and there , and set out to rectify these issues . It ’ s a very good thing .
As far as compact , single-axle couple ’ s offroaders go , this is one of the better ones on the market . Highly recommended .
