RV REVIEW
Tinted slimline windows, an electric awning, an external Fusion sound panel … there’ s a lot of gear externally. I loved the fact Gold Class included a rear service ladder( rated to 100kg), with a foothold shaped into the rear bar( which itself contains storage space). This foothold allowed me to access the ladder and therefore the roof without standing on something else, but I am tall. Shorter people would probably still need a step ladder or similar.
Gold Class has fitted 700W worth of solar to the roof, which also contains an omni-directional TV antenna and reverse-cycle airconditioner. The AC16C has an excellent DC power setup. It isn’ t ridiculously powerful, but it isn’ t underpowered either. They’ ve fitted 600Ah of lithium to an external locker, along with a 3000W inverter in a separate locker. Gold Class uses Enerdrive gear, which obviously has an excellent reputation.
Underneath, the van has two 80L fresh water tanks along with an 80L grey water tank. All vulnerable components receive polyurea stone-shielding, as do the external walls of the van in the form of black checkerplate. I wouldn’ t mind seeing this van with smooth powder-coated aluminium protection at some point, as I do feel the checkerplate is a bit outdated these days, but there’ s no arguing with its functionality.
