RV REVIEW

SPACIOUS EURO INTERIOR !

The Golf Caravans name goes back many years in Australia . Built by Avan in Pakenham , Vic , the range includes vans of all types and sizes , from the Golf Bush Challenger rising-roof camper to the top-end Grand Tourer seen here .

While the Grand Tourer is available in seven different sizes , with different layouts , our 620 review van sat in the middle of the range . It is one of three models with a slide-out .

The 620 GT is a semi-offroad caravan , built for blacktop touring with some dirt and gravel roads thrown in to the mix . With that in mind , we towed it into the Dandenong Ranges in search of a campsite .

HOTEL-ROOM INTERIOR

It ’ s remarkable how much additional space a slide-out provides . In the case of the 620 GT , just push a button and the offside slide-out will open , creating a spacious dining area on a slightly raised platform . The leatherette club lounge has a freestanding table and classy LEDs in the overhead cabinetry . There ’ s a 240V point in the leg well of the dinette , but a 12V point hasn ’ t been included in this area .
