RV REVIEW
This is a special black protective coating, similar to Raptor. Goldstream offers it as part of the Rhino package and I’ m told that spraying it on is a bit of an art form, but it’ s one that the manufacturer has nailed because I couldn’ t spot any imperfections. As for the strength of the product, Goldstream offers a demo: they’ ve coated aluminium soft drink cans in the stuff and no matter how hard I stomped one, I couldn’ t crush the Tufflon-coated can. I’ m convinced.
Let’ s touch on the electrical system. It starts with a 105Ah 48V lithium battery. To the uninitiated, that sounds low, but remember, 48V systems require less current for the same power output. For example, a 1200W load at 12V would be 100A, while the same load at 48V would be 25A. And because current is lower, there’ s less heat generated in cables and connections, along with a number of other advantages including thinner cable diameters. The bottom line: it’ s a better system and an example of Goldstream moving quickly with the times. The included Projecta power management system even includes a tyre pressure monitoring system!
