- Are Caravans WORTH IT! The Golf tourer Caravan is a high-quality tourer. Our Golf triple bunk 21 ft 6-inch van is the ultimate family tourer (Golf 650HT tourer Savannah) designed to meet the needs of the growing Australian family. Golf certainly delivers when it comes to finishes and features. Construction time for all vans in Australia especially Jayco has meant that people are waiting almost 2 years to receive their new caravans. If you love camping, cooking and caravanning make sure you subscribe for all the latest material and pricing as we travel around Australia giving you ideas on how to save money or enjoy your money.
Golf is owned by Avan and represents its elite caravan manufacturing line. If you require nice finishes, high headroom or lots of added features in your caravan then drop me a comment as I may be able to assist you in receiving a discount.
If I have left out any features in this video, and I am aware I have as it was just getting too long please talk to me in the comments so I may assist you further.
If you happen to see our Golf Tourer Savanah on the road make sure you hit the horn or come up and say G'day. I'd be happy to share a beer with you or answer any questions.

That’s pretty cool. In these times I think the kitchen offering the option to cook with gas or electricity is absolutely awesome. The bed would perfect me perfectly as well with me being 1cm shorter than you. I also like your analysis as to having a beer outside is preferable to watching TV. It can be combined during a world championship though but unfortunately not for us Germans at this stage…. Loved your review. I would love to have one but it’s a whole lot of money you gotta pay and gasoline is so expensive at the moment. Maybe in a couple of years. Big 👍
Thank you mate for all your input in this comment. I truly hope you get to enjoy one of these in the future. Maybe CZcams will take off and change things for you mate. Gas is so crazy right now but accomodation prices over here are even sillier. I need the van for work and Jesses tennis so for now it’s the cheapest of the evils. Wishing you a safe Christmas and rest of the week. I’ve been off CZcams for a little bit but hoping to get some time soon to do the rounds. Thanks for all that you do mate I really appreciate it. 🍻
@@RyanIngleton Thanks a lot, Ryan! Haha, I highly doubt YT will get me any closer to one of these. If I recall corretly, Nate mentioned you currently concentrate on studying law. If so and as a lawyer myself, I hope things are progressing well. Should you ever need some German drone or legal support, let me know 🤣
@@dronescoVKE Thank you mate I truly appreciate this. Yes that’s correct I’ve taken on the task of studying law at my age. It’s been brilliant I have to admit. Amazing how many issues can arise and the choice of remedies available depending upon the breach.
Thanks as always mate. I’m away with my son whilst he plays tennis right now. It’s been a massive event and he’s in the semi finals of the mens. He plays the 1 seed in the morning after having beaten the 8 and 4th seeds. I hope he can find the strength to compete again as he’s buggered. Wishing you and the family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 😊🍻
This caravan is bigger than the joint I currently live in I WANT one! Fantastic review Ryan I LOVE it!!!!
Thanks so much Patrick. It’s a great caravan to be taking places I have to admit mate. I’m down the cost right now about to head home so I will need to see what’s on the menu in Melbourne. 😊
Hello, dearest Ryan! Well, I must say that I am not a great expert on van or camper, even if this world fascinates me a lot and my ideal trip would be crossing the US from coast to coast in a van. We will see....
Surely, this very interesting review will have been a great inspiration for many people!
I like your van a lot. I don't know about the technical aspects, of course, having never traveled in a van, but I'm in love with the style of yours. Beautiful, very fine, with classy details and a beautiful interior color.
The lounge area is very functional and the kitchen is also equipped with everything you need with very nice appliances. The bathroom also looks spacious!
I think it is really a great pleasure to travel on wheels with a van like yours!
A hug full of affection for each of you. Thanks also to Jesse, for his participation !!
Enjoy your weekend, guys and stay blessed! LIKE!! Renata
Your dream seems perfect to me Renata. That would certainly be an amazing experience to cross the US like that. I’ve never even thought of such a trip before. The van is really nice and it’s great to have it on standby whenever it’s required.
Having a few luxuries like a bathroom is fortunate as it means we can be self sufficient whatever the situation. Caravans are so popular in Australia ever since covid hit and I can understand why. I always used to stay in motels but now I’m more than happy to just jump in the back and have my entire office with me whenever I need it.
A massive hug back Renata for your support and friendship over these last couple of years. It’s so very much appreciated 😘
Ryan beautiful and comfortable looking caravan. Thanks for the tour. 👍🙏👍🙏
Thanks very much Ray. It’s certainly a nice way to camp mate ( not that you can really call it camping I suppose ). I hope your not getting too cold over their mate. We had snow in Sydney yesterday. Crazy weather. 😂
Not sure if I would be watching TV outside either. This Caravan has awesome features Ryan. I don't think we would purchase one, but Peter and I would love to get an RV and travel Australia one day for 6 months., Don't you hate it when you have to use tape in the meantime, hope that fix that plug outlet soon. Every bunk has a fan, wow! Great storage. Near the sink is not a great place to have a television. Makes the Airstream that we stayed in tiny. Awesome that you got the solar panels. Great overview on this Caravan. Jesse enjoys getting into videos, great support. Have a great weekend guys. 🦘🙏🏼🤗♥
Thanks so much Jojo. I think if you and Peter jumped in the RV with Ruby you would have the most amazing adventure. It’s a little culture shock on your first adventure but they soon feel like home before you know it.
Jesse loves to be in front of the camera and I have to hold him back sometimes as my audience isn’t as off the charts as his age group 😆😆
Thanks for everything you do Jojo and have a great weekend mate. 😊🏆
25 👍👍
Beautiful sharing friend 💐💐
Thanks so much for watching. I hope you are having a great week 😊👍
This looks very nice! A lot of nice features! Thanks for the review
Thanks very much Sherry. It’s a great little addition to our business.
Great sharing, so beautiful
Thank you so much. I hope your having a great weekend 😊
another great video
the time went by quickly
happy to see more stuff from you guys after your busy year
great editing as always
Jesse with some great clips and the end lol
cheers
Thanks John. Your right mate this year has flown by. I’m currently down the south coast for Amanda’s mums 70th birthday and ready to enjoy the weekend.
I’m trying to learn how to better produce videos John that’s have no dead spots and keep providing information people can use. Jesse is such a great help when filing as he keeps me on my toes and loves to add his personal thoughts.
I had to slow him down in this as his expectations are not for my audience. 😆😆
Have a great weekend mate and I hope your green house produces a great bounty for you mate. ☺️🤝
Love this! Your adventures and videos are so incredible. Top-notch viewing AND LIFE experience. 💓🌠 Dr. D
Thanks so much Dr D. We enjoy our little travels in the van and it’s been great bonding time that’s for sure. There isn’t too many things I could pick wrong with the van but I did highlight the superficial first world problems I have experienced. I hope it’s not getting too cold for you right now. Have a great week Dr D and thanks for all your support throughout the years. 🇨🇦😊🏆
Great tour of your caravan… it’s so awesome. Not sure I’d want to tow something that big but it’s a great way to get around, Jessie is a big lad though, those beds are a touch small 😬👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Lee. It’s a great size for us now while we have the kids still coming along. I’d probably reduce it down slightly when it’s just Amanda and I as you can get lots more in whiteout the bunk beds. Jesse is big and even the twins are both bigger than me now mate. Have a great weekend Lee and thanks for watching mate as always. 😊🍻
That's absolutely great and awesome camping van bro. Love it. Keep it up and more vidz to come brother
Thanks very much mate. I wish you all the very best for the weekend 😊
Hi Ryan!
Great review, great caravan!
You might be interested to know that a van such as this would be deemed too heavy to haul for many UK car licence holders! Licences from 1997 onwards can only drive a car/trailer combo maximum of 3.5 tonnes, with the car having to be heavier than the trailer.
We could drive your trailer but would be required to upskill from a standard car licence to a small truck licence of 7.5 tonnes.
How are you mate. Wow I never knew that. We can do such much more in our standard licenses over here. I happen to have my heavy rigid truck licence but caravans are fine on any license.
The flexibility of moving along the coast with all your own clothes and food is really great. Ever since covid it’s been hard to travel and costs have increased dramatically.
I hope your safe and well champion as it’s warming up over here which means it’s cooling down for you. Have a great weekend and thanks for your great comment as always. 😊🍻
Looks so comfortable in there
Thanks Jess. It really is a great comfort when travelling for work and play.
Great Video ✅
These vans are certainly are great bit of gear for the adventurous type ✌️
Your a legend mate. 🤙. They certainly work a treat when your renovating at home or just going for a cruise away for a fishing weekend Os 🐠🎣
Great video Ryan.
Thanks Crypto. It’s a great van and light to tow.
Hope this one helps.
They all do champion. Thanks for being the cameraman. 😊
@@RyanIngleton He loves it 😂
He sure does mate 😆
What a great an outstanding review my friend that was really amazing the video was fantastic you did a excellent job on it I thought it was really impressive and very informative thank you for sharing take care and I will see you at your next video my friend but until then I hope you have a wonderful day and don't forget to be safe
Thanks so much Michael. Your comments have been so nice to read champion. I hope you are taking care and keeping safe mate. 😊
@@RyanIngleton you're welcome my friend and I'm doing well hope you're doing well you take care and I will see you soon my friend but until then I'll hope you have a wonderful day
Really cool sharing.❤️
Thanks so much for watching. Hope your having a great week 😊
Great to see an in-depth caravan tour and a genuine review. Awesome Video👍
Thanks very much mate. We certainly do enjoy using the van and seeing Australia. A few simple mods would certainly help our lifestyle that’s for sure. Thanks as always mate I appreciate it. 😊
Good review, on the 15am power point issue, we have them fitted at home, just purchased one of these used, 3rd van, new house build so planned forward to put the right outlet on the side of the house where can will be stored,
So good review !
Thanks very much mate. 👍
Nice one boys!
Hope you enjoy the tour 😊
thank you for sharing
It’s my pleasure. I hope you had a great weekend.
Nice rig! 👍👍
Thanks mate. Certainly makes it easy travelling around. 😊
Now that’s an awesome van mate. Really enjoyed Jesse’s input. A really good tour through Very well covered. Wow! Jessie is 2metres tall 😃👍
Thanks so much Den. Yeh Jesse is a little crazy in the videos. I had to cut out a lot of his antics as I felt my audience would be looking for something different 😆😆
He’s definitely a big boy and has just come up from kicking the football on the beach with his twin brothers. Thanks so much for checking this video out Den I really appreciate it mate. 😊🤝🍻
This is an awesome content. Very interesting and informative. will surely visit your channel again. More power to your channel, my friend. see you around and lets stay connected. :)
Thank you so much Crissa. I hope you are having a great week and thanks for watching one of our videos and commenting. 😊
What a silly design on the upper cupboards mate! Imagine if airlines did that with the overheads 🤦🏼♂️. I’ve never seen a gas hob with an electric fail safe, loving that mate pulled it round
Electric tape works wonders mate. Although not ideal. Dunno if you even mentioned it, my concentration admittedly isn’t the best but how is Jesse getting on in an under 6 foot long bed? 😏
Another skylight would have been perfect mate. We live and learn
All in all mate it appears to have some amazing features! Definitely a 👍 from me. Fantastic and detailed review. Have a great weekend mate. Just catching some end ads, the only ones I got
Back! Another full one coming with whatever ads
Thanks so much Mark. The upper cupboards are a silly design but once you have stopped they are good. Great to have options mate. 😊
Very impressive !!! Looks like you can go on some very nice trips. Just curious, what child do you leave behind 🤣I like how little the tongue weight is, I'm a little curious about the hitch. We have either ball hitches or pintle hooks and for real heavy loads we use what we call a fifth wheel. Yours looked like it rotated. Ryan do you bring that down to the farm to stay for long weekends ? Ok I rambling too much !!!! Good luck with it and have a great weekend 🥛🥃🍷🍸
Thanks so much Dave. Noah seems to be the one that is left behind on all occasions. He’s getting older now and has his girlfriend so who could blame him.
The tow hitch fitted on this is a ball. We also have the pintel hooks and fifth wheel set ups over here.
The one fitted here is an off road type so as you bounce over the uneven slopes it can adjust. Funnily you can even roll the van and it will still be on 😳
No I haven’t taken it down the farm. I stay in the cabin. It has a couple of double beds, toilet and a lot bigger shower that runs forever 😆😆
Thanks for all your support Dave I really appreciate it mate. Enjoy your Friday night mate. 🥂
@@RyanIngleton How’s Amanda dealing with Noah not wanting to spend time with the family? I’m getting old I forgot there was a cabin on the farm. I could have used a hitch like that when I owned my company!! How many bumps on the head has Jesse had 🤣 glad to see you uploading on a regular basis again
She’s coping alright mate as it’s one less person to cater for. Jesse has learnt to lean and walk in the van I think mate. He kicks his feet more on anything. We are currently down at a beach house for Amanda’s mums birthday and he just fell over coming up the stairs at the top. He blames his wet feet but who knows with him 🫣. The van is a lot more comfortable than the cabin. I think if Amanda ever comes down to stay she will want the van taken down that’s for sure. I’m trying to upload more Dave but it takes a bit of time as you well know. I need to keep finding better content mate moving forward. 🍻. Thanks Dave as always.
That's a cool caravan! I was hoping to get a little in-depth tour, so this was a treat. If you hadn't partnered with Golf, it would be interesting to know how much it set you back, and how long the production lead time was.
It must be nice having your own personal cameraman. :P Good on you both!
Happy weekend guys!! WOOP!
Great questions Nate I have to admit 🫣. We had to wait approx 8 months for this to be built and we were lucky enough at that. Total cost was $72k. Now the wait time is out to 18 months and retail has jumped to $82k.
Great to have a cameraman Nate telling me it’s too boring and providing all the necessary feedback only a family member would say 😆😆 He really does enjoy making these vids mate. Have a great weekend and enjoy the beverages after another hard days work 😊🏆
Thanks for all your support champion it’s very much appreciated. 🥳
Great review Ryan and all in all it's an awesome camper even if things fall out of the cupboards, very strange design. Really seems to have everything you need to be comfortable on a trip. Seems you covered everything so what kind of air do you put in the tires 🤔 lol, 🤦♂️I got nothing, well done legend! 🙏😎
Morning Mike, you have heaps mate 😊. It’s a great camper and honestly mate my only negatives are so first world it’s just not worth worrying about. I just felt like if I’m not adding in the negatives it would not seem genuine mate. I used compressed air in the tyres too mate. My GTR had nitrogen a few years ago but this takes standard air. Thanks for watching this video Mike it’s certainly long mate. Have a great Sunday afternoon and relaxing week ahead. 😎🤝
@@RyanIngleton It makes for a complete review which they should pay you for because it's that good! A GTR 😯👍 and funny you actually answered that question as indeed nitrogen is an option and wondered if you would catch what I meant and of course you did 💯👍 Hope you have an amazing week ahead buddy! Thanks for all you do legend! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
@@mikesrcgarage Thanks Mike, gee that would be nice. Im afraid you do not get paid any more than a cup of coffee making videos mate here. I just love making videos so Im going to keep doing it. It allows me to meet special people like like yourself and form life long friendships. 🤝.
@@RyanIngleton Awesome reply legend I hope one day that coffee cup overflows with blessings so much so that they flow unto others! This weekend I met a YT star a kid by the name of Johnny FPV who raced drones and now is an amazing FPV cinematographer. It was awesome and he actually watched some of my shorts videos! Good times in the desert! Lol!
You're an amazing guy Ryan and it is a pleasure to call you a friend 🙏🏼 I would love to share a cup of coffee with you one day! One of the good ones! 🙌🏼 Thank you buddy!
Hi mate, great review. Could you tell me what suspension it has ? Cheers
Thanks very much Michael. The suspension you see in the video comes standard. It’s a semi off road system with one shock per side. It is upgradable for air bags and additional shocks but I never selected that option. I’m currently down the south coast returning tomorrow night. I will have a look underneath and see if it has any branding to identify it.
The ride is super smooth and independent as apposed to the caravan bouncing over speed humps or pot holes etc.
Hey Micheal, the Golf has Alko suspension. It’s all independently connected to each wheel and each axel. If you would like me to film it in a shorts maybe or take a photo for my community page I can do that for you mate.
*꧁ Estiloso 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 ꧂*
Thank you 😊
What vehicle do you use to tow it with. I have a 650 2020 model so just before this one and I am always interested to see what tow cars people have.
Hi guys, I actually tow this around with a Landcruiser 79 series. It’s a new car but has very limited features like they made it 40 years ago. Tough as nails but also slow and steady. I hope you had a great Easter 😊.
Looks like youtube has blocked our comments to you so I now will try this account.
Punish one kid, hilarious, something I would say..
Are you able to run occy straps inside those cupboards to hold the contents in.
How much this this van set you back?
Nicole
Hey Nic, I think if I secured some angled edging on the shelves the problem would be easily solved. It’s honestly a first world issue. Noah is getting older now and studying at uni so the punishment is really performed in agreeable with everyone else. I’d take them all forever if. I could.
I’m pretty certain we paid $72k when we ordered it. I think they have increased pricing to 82k due to the long wait lists people have to endure.
It’s weird your not allowed to post as you have never mentioned anything that would be rude or considered disrespectful on my channel. Thanks so much for your support as always I really appreciate everything you do. 🥂😊
@@RyanIngleton heck that's pricy. Bit to much for what I'm looking for but never mind, it is what it is. I could get me a tiny house in the back yard for that. Looking for something secure for the boys. I'm really worried how things will be in 10 years when they're ready to move.
@@shaunk6306 Nicole I understand. Your boys will be so resilient from their life experiences you will be able to take a step back and just concentrate on yourself.
I’ve often thought like that for our children but ultimately they need to adapt and find their own pathway.
I truly Believe they will succeed and whatever you have forged along the way will be more than enough to help them.
Caravans have increased in value since covid and they are also packed with luxury items. Honestly a tent, blow up air mattress and a 12v fridge can make a weekend camping expedition worth while 😊
