2018 gulf stream reviews

Do not buy a Gulf Stream RV. Gulf Stream makes the worst RV (besides Dutchmen) in the RV industry. There are countless issues. The shower drained into the black tank, there were small wood chippings in the grey tank, propane leaks, water penetration, poorly assembled cabinetry, lighting issues, and many more. There was a hole about 4 inches in the floor, right in the walkway to the bunks. Gulf Stream claims "strong wood roof decking, screwed and glued in place" that is not the case at all. The roof decking is very very thin, it buckles under me when I got up there to check my roof seals and no i'm not overweight that It buckled under me. The whole RV is a mess, there are way too many issues. Gulf Stream takes absolutely no pride in their company or their product. There is absolutely no reason that this RV should be having all these issues, and no reason for a non walk on roof. Gulf Stream really needs to improve on their quality control. I sold this unit, and bought a Coachmen Viking, and the Coachmen Viking is a lot better with the quality, the only issues I had was a couple trim items were not cut correctly and needed to be shorted. Avoid Gulf Stream and go with a Coachmen Viking/Clipper you won't regret spending a little bit more money for a way better RV. Show less

It was a great RV until I noticed the hitch A-frame bending at the front of the trailer. The frame crushing the front diamond plate shield and causing trailer to sag. Took it to a trailer shop and they said box frame to thin for the trailer and had to replace entire a-frame at my cost. Gulf Stream took no responsibility and blamed frame manufacturer Lippert. Lippert tested section and said no problem with their specs from Gulf Stream. Out over $6000 for replacement made from thicker material. Show less

This is an update on a previous review. Camping World / Coldwater Mi. Has completed our repair as of this date it has been in repair since Oct 2022. Due to the slide cracking the fiber glass .They have to find someone to fix that. Gulf Stream will not cover any of the repairs even tho it was due to a cracked weld. This was the second one. Please Please if looking for a motorhome be aware that there is no lemon law and once you purchase they will not care if it is correct or not. Gulf Stream does not seem to have anyone that want to communicate and or look at problems in the repair departments . This is our second motorhome ……first one we had for over 20 years Show less

Asked us if we towed a vehicle….yes we do a Jeep wrangler Thank You Gulf Stream for nothing but heart ache and a loss of our money. Show less

We are not first time MH owners. Our Jayco was 24 years old and still looked and ran like new. 2018 ( 2 years before retirement) we bought our Conquest. The list of repairs after one trip to a race 50 miles from home : Door to bathroom would not stay closed. Closet rod fell down and could not be put back up. Shower leaked and shower head came loose from wall. Flooring we found buckled after putting slide out. Trim fell from above booth. These are just some. Was in shop most of the winter. Levelers have been replaced and now need replacing again. Main slide is not working . It has been at Camping World since oct 5 2022 and so far not fixed yet. We only have 14,000 miles on it and most we put on going from Lima ,Ohio to Coldwater, MI for repairs. The sad part is There is No customer service . Once they sell that MH. The factory does not care and either does the sales company whomever they happen to be. We hope for the best ….It’s now 2 years old retirement not how we planned. Carol Ronken Show less

Horrible customer service. Vinyl graphics are peeling. Gulf Stream doesn't care and won't replace. They do not stand behind their products. Stay away! Dealer can't find the graphic, so I reached out to Gulf Stream directly, they said they updated the graphics so they wouldn't fit. I said can you just send the new ones? And they said they don't do retail sales. Show less

GulfStream cannot fix our slide on our coach so they sent it back to us saying their shop fixed it, when it still does the same thing, it does not slide out without tearing up the floor wall by the bathroom entrance, and now it will not even slide out and is parked in our dealers yard because no one can fix it. Way to go GulfStream, drop the ball on a good customer and screw us out of now 2 camping seasons as we have only got to use this coach ONE time before the slide screwed up. Another dealer said they wouldnt look at it because the factory couldnt fix it....They left us hanging!!! Show less

Bad boy. The doors don’t fit the roof leaks slide want work on 12 volt outlets don’t work. Tongue is not even with the frame more stuff bad water tank want empty. All other tanks are small out side receptical don’t work Show less

I have had a terrible experience with my rv. I have had water issues , had to get a new air conditioner, all the trim on countertop has come off. Numerous issues.Tried to talk with them. I feel i bought a lemon. They arent doing anything. Show less

The Vintage has been a great RV. We purchased two years ago when we sold our business with the intent to use it often. That has not worked out, given our schedules. The Anti-sway hitch takes a couple of tries to get comfortable with the installation, but works beautifully while towing: no issues at all. The RV itself has been great, very comfortable, and Gulfstream has thought of everything you need to be comfortable: we simply don't have the time to use it. Show less
