I would love to see pics of that 93 interior, it could be helpful in the reconstruction of my 1990 Sun Stream.

Love our GS. Bought is used and put 10000 miles and 7 months on the rig for the check out trip. Still love it. 9-10 mpg while towing the Vue and running 65mph. Plan to keep this rig for years to come. Just have to keep up on the maintenance and repairs as needed.
See you on the road.
Heading south next week, will take 3 weeks to get to AZ.
P.S. Love camping on the beach in Port Aransas, TX, look at the pic.

We love our Sun Voyager. Purchased new in 2004, floor plan 8368, W22 workhorse chassis with 8.1. Now it has 106,500 miles on it. It has been a great coach. Of all the new unit out there, none have the counter space my wife wants and to much glitzy stuff for us, we are just common people. We have done improvements over the years, new furniture, power awning, shades instead of curtains and flat screen TV's.

We have a 2009 Gulf Stream Tourmaster Constellation 45G. We have been very happy with our motorhome.Like everyone else there are small problems with all RV's. It rides as well as most vehicles. I believe the major problem, is learning to operate all the electrical and mechanical devices on our motorhomes.
The technology that has been incoporated in the motorhomes is just mind boggeling. I compare our motorhome to GM Corvair, it was ahead of its time.
Maintaining your motorhome is a very important aspect, reading the manuals to understand what and when things need to be prioritized.
Any others out there have the same motorhome, I would like to hear from you as to where you have found repair parts.

Like our Fred very much.
Plenty of power and just the right size with three slides for two people. Some minor problems, water leak in the slide, generator needed a new temperature sensor etc.
Nothing I could fault Gulf Stream for.

I'm a sad owner of a 2010 Gulfstream class A, bought new in 2010, and now have over $17,000. CAN of repairs going on since my return as a snowbird over the winter.
The coach is a 38 footer, model 8367, equiped with 3 slides unproperly conceived... they are the cable and pulley type, the worst and the cheapest one on the market, installed by Gulfstream !
The 2 large slides, one of over 16 feet long, sit on only 3 plastic rollers, the ones that you could use to move a residential fridge ! Both floor of both extensions have to be rebuilt and even one of the rv's metal bottom beam has to be replaced.
More problems, the passenger's 12 feet extension had a water leak for years from the joint between the top and the outside wall, so water got in in the wall, went to the extension's floor and corroded the floor and wall.
To finish it up, the Lippert's hydraulic leveling system has to be fixed by changing the electric motor and the hydraulic pump...
Thanks GULFSTREAM for your pîece of crap; no wonder that since 2011 GULFSTREAM do not built any more class A or DP.
SO MY RECOMMENDATION IS, DO NOT BY ANY GULFSTREAM PRODUCTS.

2016 Gulf Stream Conquest
We have a 2016 Conquest 6237 24'. It has a 5.4 Ford V8 and 5 speed.
We have put on 3000 miles so far and it has been great. No leaks, good mileage. (9-10 Mpg), comfortable and a nice floor plan for a 24 footer.
We would recommend Gulf Stream.

We also love our 2005 Gulf Stream Endura. We had developed a leak over the drivers door that can not be located. The leak started after our return from Alaska. Still trying.
Happy Camping........................

Have you checked the rubber seal between cab and cab over. Pull the cloth panels that are around opening into cab area. You may be able to see where water is weeping from.

Thanks for the info.
I think it is coming from higher up. We have looked and resealed, twice. The platform above the drivers door/head gets wet. This is when the coach is sitting still. I also think the front cap of the over hang is filling up with water when it rains even with weep holes drilled. Not sure if this is making its way to that side?
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated .

Rate your Gulf Stream
Most common place a Endura is clearance lights. Need to remove them and bed the why light in caulk. Then fill in screw holes when mount screws are tightened. Not pretty when done. But they will not leak.
