RV REVIEW
SUMMING UP
An Anderson plug that was too snug to the battery box and paint ripped off the A-frame by gravel – those were the only two things in need of attention after four months on the road touring remote Australia .
Chatting with Mitch , it was clear that he felt he had made a good decision buying a Goldstream . Of course , having worked for that company for a very long time , one might expect him to say that . But this bloke has a little more integrity than that . As does the team running Goldstream , for that matter . His experience also accords with my own experience towing and living in a Goldie .
His van looked almost new . Sure , it was in need of a good clean , but aside from what I ’ ve already mentioned , nothing was broken , dented or otherwise damaged .
Finally , Mitch ’ s experience with his 12V system was a refreshing reminder that , while it would be lovely to have 700Ah worth of batteries and 1000W of solar , if you ’ re sensible with your energy usage , you can manage on much less . After all , it wasn ’ t that long ago when all new vans were supplied with a single 100Ah lead-acid deep-cycle battery – and that was considered state of the art !
The Goldstream RV 1760 RE CD Rhino is clearly a tough , comfortable caravan . You don ’ t need to take my word for it : the proof , as they say , is in the pudding .
