RV REVIEW
The bed base lifts on gas struts to reveal a reasonable storage space ; however , it ’ s also where Goldstream has mounted the BMPRO BatteryPlus 35 battery management system , DC-DC charger and OdysseyLink , which you can pair to your smartphone in order to receive real-time updates on things like the water levels and battery state of charge . A Trek3 digital display is provided , too .
Personally , I struggled to find fault with the interior . These guys just know what they ’ re doing , and it shows . Goldstream ’ s even included a 12V pressure hatch .
ARMOURED UP
All Goldstreams are framed in meranti timber and clad with composite aluminium . As mentioned , our van had Cruisemaster coil suspension , rated to 2.8 tonne , with the van riding on 16in alloy wheels while 12in electric drum brakes provide the stopping power .
Goldstream has used a 6in DuraGal chassis for this van , and when I looked underneath I noted extensive checkerplate protection for the water tanks . Basically , if it could be damaged by stones or debris while on the tracks , it is protected .
