Kip Goldstream – other models: the collective page of the Dutch Goldstream caravan range from manufacturer Kip Caravans of Hoogeveen, outside the named types, models from 1969 into the 2000s, 780 to 1,700 kg gross weight
Kip Caravans of Hoogeveen is the only surviving caravan manufacturer in the Netherlands; founder Jan Kip playfully derived the company name from the Dutch word for chicken and named early ranges accordingly “Kuiken” (chick) and “Krielkip” (bantam hen). This page gathers the models of the Goldstream range that the register could not assign to a named type, from an original dated “Model 1969” through the G 380 to G 680 series of the 1970s to 1990s to the later TB-marked versions; the model “GUUS” carries a Dutch first name rather than a type number.

The register lists here 26 versions with unladen weights of 624 to 1,309 kg, gross weights of 780 to 1,700 kg and widths of 2,050 to 2,490 mm.
The Goldstream range covers the mid to larger segment of Kip caravans across more than two decades, from compact twin-axle layouts to wider models close to the 2.5-metre mark, common on Dutch and German campsites. As category O2 trailers, they are built with an overrun brake and can be towed on a category B licence, as long as the combination of towing vehicle and caravan does not exceed 3.5 t.
On a used caravan of such varied, sometimes decades-old age, check above all for damp damage in the walls, floor and roof, the condition of windows, seals and the drawbar, the function of the overrun brake, and the gas lines and their connections; spare parts for older Kip models are stocked by the Dutch caravan trade and by restorers specialising in the marque.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
