RV REVIEW
GOING CLUBBING
Internally, the centrepiece is clearly the rear club lounge. As mentioned, the goal was to incorporate the layout – including the lounge – of a larger model into this smaller format. But is it really a club lounge? After all, it doesn’ t wrap right around … But it’ s close and it’ s comfortable. And if you wanted to, you could omit the tall pantry tucked into the corner next to the door to increase the width of the lounge.
Given the van’ s power system, Goldstream hasn’ t included traditional gas cooking appliances inside. Besides, because of the centre ensuite design, kitchen bench space is limited, though there is a bench on the offside, where you’ ll also find a 28in smart TV on a swivel arm.
But when it comes to cooking, you’ ll need a 48V portable induction cooktop. Admittedly, without an external kitchen, cooking options on this van are limited, but the Ziggy and the Weber Q were invented for a reason. However, we should note that this van comes with the Hawk 4-in-1 – it’ s an air-fryer, microwave, grill and convection oven all in one unit.
Two concertina screens seperate the ensuite from the bedroom and the living quarters. It includes a large shower on the nearside and a compost toilet with vanity and even a front-loader washing machine on the wall above the toilet. I liked the cutouts in the cabinetry to the linen storage and overhead lockers – they help to create an open feel, whereas traditional doors would feel enclosed.
