We are looking at buying a 2011 Goldstream Pop top off roader. Anyone out there who have had experience with these vans? We will be looking at it tomorrow. Also it has 2 recliners instead of the normal seating which I haven't liked the look of, but haven't tried them. Kim

I haven't been there myself, but my sister went through there recently and most of it is now fenced off and there's a sign saying no camping, and another say 20 hours maximum stay. Which is what I think is termed an oxymoron.
