When checking out this layout , it ’ s important to remember that this van isn ’ t much bigger than 17ft . It ’ s clearly a couple ’ s van , with a north-south bed in the nose . While walk-around space at the bed is a little tight , it ’ s very manageable . The layout includes an L-shaped dinette with a table that can be manoeuvred any which way you like .
Opposite , Goldstream has fitted a kitchen complete with a fourburner cooktop and griller ; the amount of storage space in this little kitchen is quite surprising – there ’ s a range of drawers and cupboards on offer . And let ’ s not forget the overhead lockers either side of the van and above the bed .
The wardrobes either side of the bed are also a talking point , in my opinion – they ’ re very nicely finished off .
Among the features inside , you ’ ll find a Trek3 digital display , which reveals at-a-glance information on things like the battery state of charge and the water in the van ’ s tanks . Further , this system can connect to your phone via Bluetooth .
The van uses a single 200Ah lithium battery , which is mounted inside a protective steel box on the offside chassis rail . A couple of solar panels are secured to the roof , too .
