Hi TwinPiston,

I have a 2010 Goldstream Storm. I picked it up for $23k in 2012. The previous owner paid 55K. It was well used to say the least. It had
been on two big laps and done over 50,000kms. I have treated her pretty rough too. Many river crossings and beach work, corrogations etc. and never an issue....not one.
Mine has the independent, trailing arm, dual shock Cruise master suspension, double water tanks, double queen beds, custom bike rack, hot water, out door shower, slide out BBQ, solar, picnic table, two gas bottles , blah blah blah. You get the picture.

It's not pretty but has stood the test of time and has many more adventures left. I would still get 23K or more today.

I have a mate who purchased a new Hawk (outback pack) and took it up the GRR. He had nothing but issues and has since sold it. It was less than 3 mths old.

Look around and be prepared to wait for the right van, it will be out there.

Thanks all for the replies, "Stylemaster" do you mind asking your mate what type of issues he had, as the main purpose was to do the half lap, then to the sand islands here in SEQ.

All, I have been to Moreton with my current soft floor, I think I was spoilt though as it was after 2 days of deluge, I didn't have an issue.
