“ THE GT CLASSIC IS BUILT TO APPEAL TO OWNERS OF MID-LEVEL 4WDS ” The front bedroom has the expected surrounding wardrobes and overhead lockers. I liked the bedside niches allowing easy access to your reading glasses, book, etc.; however, I’d love to see a 12V point in each in addition to the supplied 240V powerpoints. Beneath the 6ft 4in x 5ft mattress, you’ll find a decent storage space, despite the fact it’s partially occupied by the offside hot water service, which is neatly partitioned off with CNC-cut ply. Of course, features such as a reverse-cycle air- conditioner, LED lighting and rangehood, are all included. 28 \ I had a good look over this van in search of something to criticise, but in truth I found very little. The hole beneath the kitchen sink through which the drainage hose runs was slightly splintery – but beyond that I couldn’t fault the van. The quality is indeed high. A CLASSIC EXTERIOR Like others in the Roadstar line-up, the GT Classic is available with a timber or aluminium frame, smooth or ribbed aluminium cladding, or full fibreglass composite panelling. There aren’t many Australian caravan manufacturers that can offer all main build techniques for each of their models. Our meranti-framed, aluminium-clad GT Classic rides on a chassis that’s built in-house, with beam-axle leafspring suspension which seemed quite adequate for a van of this type. During our road test, it performed as expected.
