2006 GULF STREAM Vista Cruiser reviews

We owned a 2006 BT Cruiser for almost 15 years. She was overall a good motorhome; finish was decent and good quality fabrics & counter material in kitchen. Layout was perfect for a couple; while it could technically sleep 6, really it only slept 4 unless they were children. Factory support was terrible; had a roof leak in less than a year and when uncovered, was able to document issue stemmed from failure in building process but never was even acknowledged by factory. We paid for repair ourselves (over $1K) used Dicor religiously after and did not have any repeats. Also had long running electrical issue with storage batteries not holding charge long-term, but simply dealt with it. Averaged 10mpg overall, no major issues with tanks, slide outs; really, she held up well overall and was very comfortable to stay in. Generator was a concern as it was a Generac and parts were impossible; we considered swapping for an Onan but sold the unit. Would not buy a used one if it has the Generac--you will not get parts!

My wife and I liked this Rv. from the day we bought it in 2010, It was used and not well taken care of, however we gave it some TLC, and it turned out great.We made a lot of upgrades over the nine years we had it, and kept up with all the maintenance it needed. Now some health problems are showing up, It's time for us to let it go, I don't want to but It's time for some other family to enjoy it.I hope they will enjoy it as much as my wife and I have.

I bought this 2006 based on owner reviews including a travel writer who lives in his. I've only put about 3000 miles on it so far, but I think it's great. Exactly what I wanted. The fixed table and chairs are perfect, made even better by the swiveling captain's chairs for driver and passenger - allowing a snug but comfy seating for 4. I work remotely along the way, so the table serves as a dining table and work desk. The bed is ample - the "wings" create plenty of room. The multi-function windows are cool...(although expense to replace). It drives like a luxury car and gets great mileage. AND better still, fits in a regular parking spot. I've also added more battery power and a large inverter for off-grid camping. All in all, these older Vista Cruisers are great rigs at a modest price. Show less

I bought this RV used in 2016 to see how I liked RV life. I've taken it on two west coast trips and some long weekend trips - and I love it. NEVER had any trouble with the engine, it has been very dependable. It has been very comfortable to travel and sleep in. The water heater that came with it barely works and the shower area leaves a lot to be desired - but I knew this going into it. Now that I know I love RVing, I'm looking for something just a little bigger with a full shower. Show less
