RV REVIEW

WHAT A BEAUTY !

When you ’ ve spent a career advising countless customers on caravans , watching as they build their dream , what do you do when it ’ s finally your turn ? For Mitch Damyon , long-time employee of Goldstream RV , the answer was obvious : buy one of the very vans he has spent years selling .

This Goldstream 1760 RE CD Rhino is about to see Australia , from Port Augusta to Broome and so much more , as part of a big trip that Mitch and his wife have planned before Mitch finally retires . But this purchase will be their getaway machine for years to come . In some ways , it ’ s the culmination of a life ’ s work . But it also speaks to a salesman ’ s faith in the product he has sold for so many years .

With retirement on the horizon and a big trip around Australia mere weeks away , we convinced Mitch to hitch his new pride and joy to his brand new Patrol – which he also bought specially for this trip – to give us a peek inside and underneath .

PROPER PROTECTION

As its name suggests , the Goldstream is a 17ft 6in model with a rear ensuite and a centre door . The ‘ Rhino ’ in the name refers to the top-end options pack that this well-respected manufacturer offers . However , Mitch has included a few features above and beyond what you get in the Rhino pack .
