THE GULF STREAM NIGHTMARE

.In April of 2006 - I purchase a Gulf Stream Ultra Super-C. I found that the rear bumper was very rusty and the backup camera did not work. The dealer said this would be fixed before pickup which was in two weeks. I called three days before pickup to make sure it was done

On the first pickup the bumper was not done. It was fixed while I waited seeing it was welded on. They painted over the rust. The stove burners would not light the igniter was not wired right and some trim was hanging off this was also fixed while I waited.

Then I bring the unit home. Now I find the cable for the TV was not run or hooked up. None of the speakers for the DVD player were hooked up The DVD player is not even plugged in and the plug is not associable. I can, t plug it in. The hydriodic florid is 2 inches low and the window washer is empty I fill the washer and call Long View they pickup RV and had it for 5 days. Long View drops off RV.

The next morning I find my DC water pump has pumped my water tank water into my bedroom about 30 gallons I need to wet vac 1/2inch of water off the bedroom floor. Called long view to bring unit back to dealer. RV will not start use emergency start switch. Unit has a ground. Dealer has RV for 3 days I all so called the gulf stream factory customer service. They don’t seem to care.
Dealers brings RV back.

It rained two days later. The back bedroom widow and livingroom window leaks badly bedroom floor wet again also part of the ceiling in a cabinet is coming down. Also I found a large metal plate out side under RV that is bent and twisted. Above hydriodic unit.I call Long View they come to get RV.It does not start Another dead battery /ground I call Gulf stream again no one answers the phone or return my calls after many tries I get a Loary Kaler who listens but cant help.

The longView service tech tells me that the ground cant be fond and its in acceptable limits and there not looking for it this time. It takes 2 ½ to 3 days to drain the cab battery if I don’t start it every day. How can this be acceptable? The bent metal is a protective plate and will not affect anything. Looks like it was installed with a sledgehammer and crow bar. 100k for this kind of work
All these problems and I have not had it out of the driveway other then to bring it back to the dealer. I AM afraid to take it on a long trip.I have not gotten any Info on road service or number to call if it brakes down. But Loary Keler says I have Emergency coverage.



How long before my bumper rots out I get mold under the cabinets and the battery dies. Some time after the warranty is up.

First Trip to Vermont
AS I drive to Vermont I find that most of the cabinets wont stay closed and keep swinging open with every tarn and bump so bad it cracks the mirror on the bed room cabinet I tie them closed with small bungee. The RV sways so mach Im afraid it will tip over.The shower leaks I fix the shower with silicon sealant. The next week longView fixes the ground it was a bad battery. He tells me to replace all the cabinet laches with better ones. The ones Gulf Stream used are cheap and it’s a common problem with Gulfstream cabinets He fixes the leaking windows. I fix the mirror. And use the bungees for the cabinets and spend a lot to put in airbag on the leafsprings to help stop the swaying

Second trip to Cap cod
It rained the windows still leak there are 3 of them now plus three storage compartment that leak I fix one of the storage compartments. the air bags help the swaying

Trip # 3 Outer Banks N.C.
Its hot I need the generator it only runs for 5 min till it shuts off restart run 5 min stops no air for me.. It rained out side and in side the RV my mattress is wet the contertop flooded and I have a stream -spring coming out under the shower. Its back to the dealer

Adding to these problems I find my warranty on the drive train and cab is for a 2005. I check car fax.com using my vin# it says I have a 2005 # 1gbe5u1e1f516479
THE label put on by GS MFG BY GULFSTREAM COACH, INC DATE of MFG/GULF STREAM 4/20/05

The dealer and Gulf Stream say it’s a 2006 and this is legal. Even if its legal its deceptive. I feel I paid for A 2006 and got a 2005./Lemmon
