GOLD CLASS CARAVANS
FAQS
What’s the difference between the Adventure Class (AC) and Luxe Class (LC) caravans?
• Adventure Class (AC) caravans (AC16C, AC17C, AC18F, AC19C) are built for off‐road travel, featuring robust suspension systems, higher solar capacities, and larger Enerdrive Lithium battery banks. They’re ideal for travellers seeking more rugged, off‐grid adventures.
• Luxe Class (LC) caravans (LC16C, LC17C, LC18F, LC19C) are primarily designed for semi off-road touring, offering refined interiors, a slightly lighter build, and a balance of comfort and capability. Despite being optimised for on‐road and some semi off-road use, LC models still come equipped with independent suspension and off‐grid power systems, exceeding typical touring standards.
Which model is best for couples, and which models are best for families?
Couples: Both the AC and LC ranges offer 16ft, 17ft, and 19ft layouts (e.g., AC16C, AC17C, AC19C, LC16C, LC17C, LC19C) that comfortably accommodate two people with a luxurious queen island bed, spacious living areas, and ample storage. Additionally, the 17ft couple layout includes an option to drop down the dining table, forming a third bed ideal for a smaller child, offering extra flexibility.
Families: The 18ft Family models (AC18F and LC18F) feature bunk beds in addition to a queen bed, allowing up to four people to sleep comfortably.
How do these caravans perform on different road conditions, and how are their suspension systems optimised for touring?
Whether you’re cruising on highways or navigating challenging terrains, Gold Class Caravans deliver exceptional performance. Adventure Class models are equipped with advanced airbag suspension systems featuring auto height control, ensuring dynamic off‐road stability. In contrast, Luxe Class models utilise independent coil spring trailing arm suspension with dual shock absorbers to provide a smooth, controlled ride on paved roads. Both systems are rigorously tested to guarantee superior handling, durability, and comfort, no matter where your journey takes you.
How long can I stay off‐grid with these caravans?
Off‐grid duration depends on factors such as battery capacity, solar input, appliance usage, and available water.
- AC Models: Typically include 600Ah Enerdrive Lithium Battery banks and up to 1225W of rooftop solar (AC19C) for extended off‐grid stays.
- LC Models: Generally include 300Ah Enerdrive Lithium Battery banks and up to 700W of rooftop solar (LC18F & LC19C).
Conserving energy (e.g., using LED lights, minimising air conditioning use) and managing water supply effectively can significantly prolong off‐grid time.
Do these caravans include heating and air conditioning?
Yes. All AC and LC models feature a Dometic Freshjet 7 Series Pro 2900W air conditioner and an Eberspächer D2L Airtronic AS3 2.2kW diesel air heater, ensuring year‐round comfort regardless of outside temperatures.
Is there a difference in interior design between AC and LC models?
Both ranges share high‐quality finishes, but the AC line leans toward more rugged practicality, complimented by a muted colour palette. The LC line emphasizes a refined “luxe” feel, with a more earthy interior blend. All caravans feature matte cabinetry fascias, soft‐close hinges, and durable benchtops.
What kind of warranties do Gold Class Caravans offer?
All Gold Class Caravans come standard with a 2-year manufacturers warranty. Additionally, the Chassis and Drawbar is covered by a lifetime warranty.

Are there slide‐out kitchens and other external amenities?

You’ll also find useful external amenities like electric roll‐out awnings, rear‐view cameras, and multi‐compartment storage boxes. AC models also come with the added convenience of a hot/cold external shower. These features allow you to comfortably enjoy outdoor living wherever you park.
How much water can the caravans carry?
Each AC and LC model typically includes 2 x 80L freshwater tanks and 1 x 80L grey water tank, giving you ample capacity for cooking, cleaning, and showering during extended trips.
Are Gold Class Caravans suitable for winter or cold‐climate travel?
