Do not buy! Roof constantly leaking, every thing breaks in it, and every time you move it something structural will break.. lastly, the shower is on the black tank so plan on dumping that after every shower. I really do t have anything nice to say about this camper or this company, purchased at fun town and they hate to fix anything broken just want you to buy a new one Show less

Our 2022 19CSK vintage seems to be a lemon. This is our second season with it and I am now concerned. Last year, the floor was soft at the end of the season and the trailer was sent back to the factory over the winter. Little things like handles falling off drawers we fixed ourselves. This year the hot water heater had to be replaced after a trip to CO. Two days after getting it back from the dealer, we took a week trip to northern WI. It was hot, then rainy, then nice. During the week the following happened: panel just left inside the door came unscrewed and fell part way out; middle drawer under the sink no longer closes all the way, the wood delaminated around the top and side of the slide out; the seal flap in the toilet doesn't close all the way (stinky bathroom as a result); another kitchen cabinet door lost its hinges; and one of the axel seals fell off somewhere on our way home. And we noticed that we are missing two hubcaps that were on when we started the trip. While I can't recommend to anybody to buy this Gulf Stream product, there are things to like about the trailer: We like its small size, frig/freezer, stove/oven, microwave all are great. AC cools quickly but is noisy. There's plenty of hot water and the holding tanks seem generous. But our daily experience is like living in a run down apartment building. Show less

Quality was very poor on ours. Door hinges had every screw stripped out along with the bases that hold the table to the floor. Stereo system stopped working on our first trip out and it took the dealer a month to get approval to replace it. It was then replaced with a system that would not play cd or DVD and the Bluetooth quit working after our second trip. Speaker failed as well. Can’t use the TV with the radio as they share the same antenna and cut out the signal. After they did the prep at the dealer we found leaks at the pump, under the sinks, felt for the price the quality should have been better. Show less

Very cheap quality. A lot of issues with the way the camper was assembled. Outside sealant was not done correctly. Hot water heater caused flooding and water damage. Window screens were not installed correctly. Door lock was assembled incorrectly. Show less

This unit is easy to drive, find street parking and jump from location to location. There is sufficient storage for our needs and the V* motor has sufficient power for towing. AC unit and heater works well, and TV is easy to operate. Love this thing! Don't wait too long before starting to travel! Show less

Family of 5 kid's, wife, and 3 small dogs Negative: Got it and noticed the wheel wells looked like they had been stepped on. My dealer quickly fixed and replaced the wheel well. The Murphy bed frame needed reinforcement. There was a leak where I would winterize the camper. Positive: Sleeps my family and we can prepare meals easily. Have travelled over 1300 miles with it my first year and is structurally sound. This camper is small for my family but not all the kids come. It is mainly a place to lay out head and make meals. Otherwise when we went camping we never spent much time inside. . Show less

Hands down, the biggest over priced piece of crap!!! I bought it brand new and within the first rain it leaked. Dealership where I bought it fixed it. Then, take first shower and noticed water runs right over the edge and on the floor…and gulf stream knows it and will not fix it. I extremely warn “Beware “ of Gulf Stream products!! It will be a fight with them to do anything. I wish the owners of Gulf Stream (Shea Brothers) would acknowledge the poor manufacturing of there product and stand behind it. But why should they their making money on a inferior product. Show less

Wonderful woodwork and bright colorful details - I love what this trailer looks like and its floorplan really works for us. BUT, this trailer is cheaply and poorly manufactured. Some of the defects were minor and were easily fixed - for example, Gulf Stream failed to install a blackwater tank flush valve, to connect the radio to the antenna, etc. Annoying but no big deal. But, it didn't stop with the small stuff . Gulf Stream didn't seal the rear brake light at the roofline and the water that poured in blew 4 of the 5 window seals in the trailer. When it rained it was like Niagara Falls inside the trailer. Took over 8 months to get new windows in stock and replaced. There were what appeared to be nails popping up through the flooring but were in fact just pieces of scrap metal that were not swept up and they installed the flooring right overtop. Then when we were travelling, the freezer door hinge snapped right off and the freezer door was on the floor. Turns out that when the freezer door was installed, a corner plastic piece that holds the door trim and the handle had snapped in half and instead of taking the door off and replacing the piece, they just glued it in place. That is a lot of weight and stress on a glued bit that eventually failed and the cost for replacement of the freezer parts was shockingly high. We have less than 20,000 km on this trailer and the last time we took it out we were on the highway and a leaf spring failed (severed completely in half). Almost died. Repair shop said that the leaf springs that the trailer was initially equipped with were barely sufficient for the dry weight of the trailer and a partially filled fresh water tank - no other weight. We thought we must have a lemon trailer but we spoke to someone with the exact same RV model and year of manufacture, and their experience was no less disturbing - they had had completely different and just as serious issues. We swapped horror stories so that we could learn from our shared experience and take some comfort from the fact that that these issues are not exclusive to just our trailers. These are cheap and cheerful trailers BUT they are really poorly manufactured and somewhat dangerous and the trailer will be in the shop more often than you will be camping with it. Show less

Piece of garbage leaks, radio didn't work, blowing fuses all the time. it's not a very well-made camper. pieces falling off. very cheaply made camper. not worth the money or the time. I wish I decided not to go with it Show less

We have had this camper for 1 year. It is leaking from the top. The strip on roof came off. Also you can see staples all over the inside And the cabinet panel is falling off. This camper is so cheaply made. Called gulfstream and they are no help. They will not help us in any way. Show less
