GulfStream Coach RV Reviews

We’re at the 2026 Semiquincentennial Vintage Cruiser Rally in Nappanee, IN, and totally blown away by the experience! The Gulf Stream Vintage and Vista Cruiser community is really family! We love our 23RSS Vintage Cruiser but didn’t realize the depth of support the company provides. We spent over two years researching RV’s, going to RV shows, talking to RV owners, using online sources, and even rented several RVs to determine what we wanted.

This is our 7th summer of owning our 19ERD. We are very happy with our camper. The layout is perfect for us. The door that makes it an ensuite is the best feature. We go to the big RV show in Toronto every spring but never found an RV that we would rather have in this size. Quality is good. We are nearing the 100.000 km mark. Went on rough roads like Alaska and it did well. We get a lot of compliments on the look of the camper. Very pleased.

Having a great time, meeting lots great people, Gulf Stream employees and Rally attendees, hope to see at the next rally. Lots of great information from the suppliers and tours of the plant. Let’s not forget about the food they supplied for us at the Rally. The Gulf Stream employees treated us great respect and treated us like family and were concerned about issues that we had with our units. We be using the resources that I learned about from attending the Rally. Hoping to do this again next year. Thanks.

Came to: Gulf Stream Coach, Nappanee, Indiana- To see how they build Vintage Cruisers. Also tour Plant 62 - the future of Gulf Stream. We have a 2023 QBS Vintage Cruiser by Gulf Stream. Which Hubby, Wife (myself) and Cooper our Beautiful Son (dog) enjoys camping with us. This Cruiser goes where Cooper wants to go. (haha) Enjoy. Out 2 days of the week so far, lots of information.

I love my Vintage Gulf Stream Cruiser! This is the second one we have owned and I guarantee it won’t be the last. Gulf Stream has paid attention to every detail when constructing the Vintage Cruiser. For owners they hold a yearly rally in Nappanee, Indiana. It is a weeklong. It is full of information about the in and outs of your trailer. It is well worth attending. Our Vintage Cruiser has the Lilly Seal of Approval!

We love our 23fbs Vintage Cruiser, we have towed our over 38,000 miles, never had an issue. We have attended several Rallies at the Gulf Stream facility, we are always treated as family. They're a great company to work with.

Great trailers and a pleasure to work with. Currently at Vintage Rally in Nappanee and wonderful learning about our new trailer. They are treating us like royalty.

We have a 2018 19 RBS we purchased in 2018. We looked at a lot of rvs and decided this is the one that filled all of our requirements. We loved the looks but the construction process really sealed the deal. Thank you Gulfstream for producing such a fine product.

5 Stars!! We're at the annual Vintage Cruiser Rally in Nappanee. The super-friendly staff is making the rally fun and informative. Lots of great product info with tons of different vendor sessions. Thanks, Gulf Stream!

You work hard to make us feel part of your family and it definitely shows. Thank you so much.

I own a Gulfstream Vintage Cruiser 19ERD. For a 23 ft trailer it hits all my needs in a trailer. The construction is sturdy. I appreciate that this company is a small family owned company. Mine is the Laura Ashley (Blue) in the photo.

Trying to learn my 2024 Gulf Stream Conquest has been a nightmare. The user manual is joke. Trying to find anything when I have an issue or question is hours long quest I never find the answer to. Online searches generate 0 sites for help. The website the Gulfstream website says has specs and manuals only lists RV sales and 0 information. My manual says my RV comes with a leveling system and it does not.

Really happy with the 23TWS Vintage Cruiser. The layout works great for me since nothing feels cramped and everything is right where I need it. It's also built very well. Nothing is flimsy or poorly put together, and so far, I haven't encountered any problems. I love the color too. It looks so cool, and it gets a ton of attention. Everywhere I go, people stop to look at it. It's just been a really good experience.

We had a 97’ Gulf Stream 5th wheel and loved it. That was before Gulf Stream sold!! We bought a Gulf Stream Trailmaster in March 25’ and traded it back to dealer in August 25’ Doors leaked, outside kitchen wouldn’t close because it was out of square, and trim kept falling off inside. We had it in our possession 64 days and the dealership had it 70 days. Gulf Stream wouldn’t approve warranty work. It’s been a disaster overall. We traded for a Keystone Passport and love it!!

Bought NEW Gulfstream Amerilite in 2021. After a 2 hr trip back home, I opened it to find USB plugs/electrical plates fallen out of the wall. When I went to open the fridge, the handle broke off in my hand. Table was not fastened to the floor and 2 of the windows latches would not fasten so opened flapping during travel. On first trip when sitting down at table, the back totally broke off onto the floor. Pieces would not stay together, Stairs caught on screen door going in & out, screws came out of screen during travel jamming the door so it would not open from the outside.

I purchased a gently used 2018 Gulf Stream Amerilite 279BH. I am a handyman by trade, so it's very fortunate that I have the skills and knowledge to identify and fix the issues I share in this review. I'm confident in saying the previous owners of this unit were very likely heartbroken they had spent so much only to be given a lemon that no dealership would want to touch. The price I paid for this Gulf Stream camper made me feel like I almost stole it, however, wisdom comes from experience and now I understand the dealer I purchased from sold it for a price that was likely higher than a Gulf Stream is worth. That is a subjective statement, so here is a list of the issues I've found since acquiring the vehicle and you can judge for yourself:

Horrible quality, don’t waste your money or time. B out brand new from dealership. Outside sealant was void, causing multiple leaks/water damage. First time using discovered- Hot water heater was busted causing major leak and water damage. Windows screens were not installed properly. Door lock not installed properly.

Updated on 07/12/2024: I recommend that nobody buy one of these RVs. They don’t stand behind their warranty. I have 300 pictures of poor craftsmanship, flat out installation mistakes, leaks. The list goes on. 300 documented defects with this RV and all the email threads to the company and sales office. My RV was brand new and when I got it, I found out it had been seriously water damaged. They called this damaged cosmetic. I highly recommend you stay away, go someplace else.

I purchased a 2022 Gulfstream Amerilite 24RLS from Travel Camp in Clermont FL on 9/24/2022 (SUNDAY). It was taken from the dealer to my brother's house on 9/27/2023 (Wednesday) 10 miles (approximately) sat for 3 days then taken to camp ground in Astor FL. From the moment it was set up on Sunday 10/01/2023 I have been having issues with water leaks from the shower. The shower was never sealed to the wall from the manufacturer, this should've been caught by their so called quality control team but for whatever reason it wasn't and should've been caught by the dealer during their so called "PDI" and it wasn't. I've had dealer send tech out 3 times for leaks each time they had to seal the shower in different places, I also had an issue with no hot water.

First ever complaint for a company. My aunt and uncle have been RVers forever. My uncle tragically passed away with ALS recently. She bought this GulfStream 5210 because it's small. She quickly found out it was too hard for her alone. She was afraid to sell it on her own being older because she didn't want to go on test drives with strangers. I took the RV from her in Texas to Vegas to help her out. On the way, the table fell off due to only having 2 thin screws. My daughter was hurt, just bruises. There was water in the bathroom from the back of the hose that went to the toilet. She's only used the toilet twice, never the shower. I called for warranty right away and left several messages.

We purchased a 2022 Gulf Stream 6337SE Conquest 24' motorhome in August of 2022, from a small dealership in Minnesota. The price and overall quality was good. My issue is with customer service and warranty, which is basically nonexistent. I replaced a kinked waterline and water pump as a result of blocked line which was not caught by the dealer. The other problem was with the inverter, which I replaced. I was able to get Gulf Stream to cover the cost of parts that I purchased, which took two months. The last problem was with missing trim in the bathroom, which after 6 months, Gulf Stream will not cover, telling me we will have to order it through the dealer, which does not respond any better than the company.

I purchased a brand new vintage cruiser. When I got home And looked under I cried! Rust and corrosion on the frame. No shackle on the spring. Warranty is a big fat lie. Shea family should be ashamed. I would like to share Pictures of my new rusty trailer.

Purchased a new gulf stream trailer for 40k over the phone from Bourbon RV in Missouri. It arrived with a ding in the fridge and water damage on ceiling both inside and out. I denied delivery and dealership directed driver to drop and leave. This dealership knew of the damage before delivery and now expects me to go through the warranty process for repair. I need help with this issue. I cannot use the trailer and feel like I have been scammed.

I recently purchased a 1990 Gulfstream Conquest, just 20’ long - half the reason I purchased it. The other reason was its age. (I appreciate older mechanics.) I expected problems because of its age, so I haven’t been too upset to deal with leaking plumbing (which I still, after ten weeks of living in and trying to figure it out, still haven’t); broken drawers and cabinet doors; vents that don’t close - and it had once had water damage from the roof. However, the RV drives beautifully. I feel incredibly safe behind the wheel. I can leave a cup of tea on the counter, drive hundreds of miles and it’s still there when I arrive. It’s quiet. The overall design is excellent - the most functional design with 2 huge picture windows and an openness unparalleled in a short rig. Of my five camping vehicles over the decades, this is my favorite.

I bought a new Innsbruck Travel Trailer in July 2020. I've camped in it twice. During the 1st trip, the fresh water tank burst while filling it, the stereo cut out playing CDs and the AC control didn't work correctly. I brought it back to the dealer for repair and was informed that Gulf Stream would not honor the warranty on the water tank. I have waited two months for Gulf Stream to send a replacement tank, and it still has not arrived. Stereo still isn't fixed. AC controller is still flaky.

BT Cruiser 5210. Review 8/30/2020. It's probably safe to write a first review after 10,000 miles. Traveled from Southwestern Florida to Arizona and back. Blue Ridge Parkway dry camping. Various Florida campgrounds. I am 83 and travel by myself with my Chihuahua. I expect all the comforts of home when dry camping. I have had several small motorhomes for many years so I know what I need. I added solar panel and satellite TV. Had a new 12v wire run to 500w inverter to run TV, and satellite. I have the 2 couch model. I rounded off sink end of the table to be able to slide in and out easily. Table bungees nicely behind passenger seat. Put lever control on shower head to conserve water. Sleeps 2, lives 1.

Our 2018 Innsbruck brand new is the worse workmanship I have ever seen. I am not letting up. If I have to gave to have it delivered back to the manufacturers I will. Seems like the Shea family doesn't really care not do the dealerships who sold us this piece of low quality poor workmanship. A court of law should put this family in the woods and make them live in this what they call a quality RV.

We bought our 2019 Kingsport 199rk in August of 2018. It is now may 2019 I’ve already had to reply the vent covers because they became brittle and leaked into the bathroom. I believe they use the cheapest parts they can find so make sure you do your research before you buy.

We bought our 2014 Conquest in 2013. We have had nothing but trouble with it. Refrigerator doesn't get cold, the hot water has never been hot, even though we had the pilot light lite, lights on outside and inside didn't work. We had a leak right off the bat, they, Rockwood Boat and RV in Rockwood, Tennessee, and now the whole front of the camper has water damage. It smells like mold! And to top it off we were told it wouldn't be covered under insurance. So we are out a 15,000. camper!! What a lemon!! Will NEVER buy a GulfStream again!!! We have only camped in it 6 times!!

We used the campground showers and bottle water to drink and make coffee. Used anti-freeze (the pink stuff) to flush the toilet and pour down the sinks after used. Always draining the tanks too....we continue to do this for 3 days after arriving in TX due to the cold weather.

Well I bought a 2019 Gulfstream conquest and I had nothing but problems with it. I have nothing but empty promises and every time they take the camper to fix it comes back worse. I had a major leak with the water tank. Very bad workmanship. The slideouts leak, the wiring was bad - oh wait - still bad. We cannot even open up our bunkhouse because the wire broke off and I have left many messages for the owner of the company to call me to make things right and I get no callback. They have bad customer service and I tell them I want a refund or a rebuild and they refuse to help with that. I bought it new. I did not want to buy a fixer upper but lesson learned. I will never buy from them again. I am just sick of this whole process.

We purchased our Conquest 274QB in October 2018. From the beginning it started having problems from the door not locking, the screws falling out of the outside trim, the trim not matching up on the corners, the windows did not latch. Then after using the oven for 5 times it quit working, the bathtub had to be recaulked, we had to tighten the water pipes to the bathtub, the trim inside the trailer was coming apart, the electrical outlet in the bathroom doesn’t work. But then 4 months later the slideout started leaking and we can’t find out from where so we started looking at the front corner and the bottom front corners do not match so water comes in there. Great workmanship!!

We bought our 259BH brand new and first few times we took it out we enjoyed! However about our 4th trip we started having problem! First was water heater, the card went out! Last trip the heater randomly kicked on, middle of the night woke up sweating butt off! Can't wait to see what this is going to be. Wish I would have shopped around but we will see!

They installed the drain too tall in the bathtub. The first time we used it the pipe pushed up and cracked the tub. No one is willing to help. I had to fix it myself. I bought a new trailer so I would not have to fix it!!! The dealers near me said GulfStream don't pay their warranty bill so they can't help me.

We purchased our Kingsport 2017 276BHS in May 2017. After several months we still having water leaking, gas smell backup, and the cable system did not work. It took Funtown several months to get the items to complete repair! They ended up doing the repairs as in buying out of pocket to get done. In early June 2018 someone had hit our trailer. It's been in the shop for repairs since then, it's January 2019. Cannot get correct items, panels from GulfStream, still! I wish I have never bought a GulfStream! As soon as I can get it totally repair it's being sold!!

I purchased my 2019 GulfStream Vintage Cruiser from Camping World in April 2018. I am not happy with them or GulfStream. I am a fulltime RVer and I have had a shower leak since day one. I took my camper to a dealer that honored my warranty and they replaced the caulking around the enclosure to the shower. First time I use the shower it leaks. I took the camper to Camping World and waited a month to have the work denied because apparently they submitted to have my caulking replaced when I explained to them where it was leaking. I am now at a park that does not have showers and my shower still leaks. It isn't from the caulking. It runs out into the hallway behind the shower and under the shower. It isn't the lines because I have checked it when it was running. Either the shell doesn't fit the tub correctly or it's behind the enclosure.

We were looking for a well built, lightweight travel trailer to tow behind our Toyota 4Runner and we found what we were looking for in the GulfStream Vintage Cruiser 19CSK. We only took three trips before winter set in, but all three trips were great. Wonderful towing with a sway stabilizer hitch and great amenities. Roomy for a small trailer with excellent headroom, I am 6'5" tall and have headroom throughout, even in the shower. I would highly recommend this trailer if you're looking for stylish retro trailer with modern features.

I am so ANGRY! We bought the 2019 Bunkhouse Ameri-Lite. We have only had it for 2 months. And it's 2018. Which tell you it BRAND NEW. It sucks. Pipes under sink leak. Behind toilet leaks, had to have a new part. And the hot water tank leaked as well. When I buy brand new I expect it to work. I wish I would have read these reviews. It would have saved me heartache and time and money. We have a warranty. But we are living in it. And it's skirted. So we can't move it to get our repairs done in the shop. So we have to pay out of pocket for the repairman to come and fix it. I have e-mailed GulfStream. So I guess I will do my research before I buy again. :(

2018 GulfStream 198BH. Not sure what to think about it. Bought brand new in March 2018. Used it 3 times this summer and overall it’s a decent budget camper. My only complaints so far is the cosmetic flaws like misaligned screws and the fact that I lost 3 of the top and side clearance light covers because they were too loose and came off in tow. So far no leaks and everything still working as it should but I’m just a little unsure but this is my first travel trailer purchase so I plan to upgrade to something with a little more quality in a few years.

We bought our Vintage Cruiser 23QBS late in the season and were only able to camp 3 times but we love it. The more we use it the more we love it! We really like the colors and the features. Barb, my wife, tows the unit with ease and feels comfortable. We tow our Vintage with an F150 and in comparison to the bigger unit we had it tows 1000 times better. We always get compliments when we're camping and everyone wants to see inside and asks us questions about it! :) We cannot wait for next season!
