2023 gulf stream reviews

We purchased a brand new Motorhome at an RV show in Utah from Parris RV. It had all the features we were looking for and in our price range. Our first trip out we found multiple problems, most were fixed to our satisfaction. New problem arose after 3rd trip, we cannot go camping using battery power only. The inverter breakers keep tripping with only the 12 volt fridge running nothing else is on. We have to turn the truck engine on to get the slide outs in. Gulf Stream said they would cover the repairs. We had it looked at and it cost us $900.00 now Gulf Stream won't pay it because they think we did something wrong, operator error. They think we had the battery disconnect in the off position which we didn't. So we still have this problem and are unable to use the Motorhome while camping in remote places. The only places we can go are RV campgrounds with full hookups Show less

We like that fact that it does not have any slide outs it’s a Ford 350 gas which is really nice coming from a diesel with def problems . Haven't had any issues with this coach full time living in it with spouse. Rides real nice no cabinets shacking or loose window noises. In our opinion this model seems to be the best one we’ve owned. We pulled a Grand Design 29Go momentum nothing but problems traded for another toy hauler same issues leaks cabinets falling our truck had a part on recall for def so out of service for 2months we just decided after all the ups and downs why not go simple so as retired truck drivers we decided to have the road experience like we did in our rig but have it all kitchen full bathroom fridge stove all in one easy way to travel on the road again.

I have not owned my BT 5240 long. I have not camped in it, but the floor plan is fantastic considering the size. I have owned 18 - 35’ tow behind travel trailers & my last RV being a gas 38’ class A. I towed my 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited cross country with ease in the Class A. I did a drive with the BT towing same and did not like how the BT handles. Without towing it is a pleasure to drive. I feel the wheel base is too short for towing a vehicle that is about as long as the RV when you add in the length of the tow bar. When entering a curve there is a bit of a delay then it dives in whereupon you have to counter steer. If I find there is something I can do to correct this negative attribute I’ll edit this review. That said, I won’t be towing with the BT until then. Quality is average. While winterizing I found to sharp wood screws securing framing gouging the water tank 😠. Half the screws holding the rear lights were coming out because they were not long enough to bite into the fiberglass shell. Why aren’t tank heaters standard equipment ? Show less
