If you believe your holidays are best spent on the road with the family, then the spacious Goldstream RV Thunder is your perfect match.

At $47,000, the Goldstream Thunder is at the top end of this category of campers, but occupies the position with distinction. It’s a camper aimed at families who want caravan comforts in a package that will handle offroad conditions

EXTERIOR

The Thunder features striking black alloys, which give the camper a standout appearance. The strong DuraGal chassis are also a plus, as it offers quality Vehicle Components independent suspension.

INTERIOR

Bench space is provided by a fold-down side shelf with storage space behind that. Alternatively, Goldstream offer an option of a 30L Waeco drawer fridge instead of the barbecue.

Electrically, the Thunder is equipped with a single 105Ah AGM battery and Ctek 7A charger (both marginal for the demands placed on them), two 12V outlets and a 130W solar panel on the roof. The system is wired to the alternator through a 12-pin plug and 8B&S cable. There is a 240V system with six outlets.

For a camper with lots of window space there is, thankfully, total blackout curtains and midgy screens, as well as a system for hanging shelves around the perimeter of the internal roof.
