GET WITH THE TIMES
This particular model is the result of customer feedback. The story goes that customers loved one of Goldstream’ s 22ft rear club lounge models in the CPX range, but they didn’ t love the fact they needed a Yankie ute or the equivalent to tow it. So the challenge was set: develop a smaller, lighter version of that 22ft beast that retained the rear club lounge, packaged with new technology that is slowly being adopted by the industry: 48V electrical systems.
First, though, it’ s important to understand the‘ Rhino +’ in the van’ s name. It refer’ s to the Rhino package – Goldstream’ s top-end feature package. But if you want even more, that’ s when you opt for the Rhino + package. It’ s the cherry on top, and it get’ s you a long list of upgrades available on all models, though some individual inclusions depend on whether the van is on a single or tandem axles.
As for the construction, it’ s pure Goldstream. Long-time readers know I’ m a fan. The wall and roof panels are comprised of extruded polystyrene known colloquially as XPS. The inner and outer skins are a fibreglass and gelcoat laminate, while the panels themselves contain CNC-routed wiring channels as well as high density PVC structural inserts. But it doesn’ t end there: we need to talk about Tufflon.
