Gulf Stream BT Cruiserpage=2page=2page=2page=2 reviews

This is the BT Cruiser that has 2 sofas that convert into beds .The sofas are comfortable as sofas for seating. They easily convert into twin beds. We use mattress pads to make more comfortable at night. we leave one made up as bed all the time so we only have to convert one sofa to bed at night. We bought this motorhome because we wanted a class b with a larger dry bath. Kitchen is very usable for small rv. Lots of interior storage. Show less

Factory difficult in the customer service area...non resposive both in phone calls as well as e-mails. Build quality terrible...water leaks/missing parts limited availabilities of upgrades and very little owner's manual information. Great floor plan...nice design but assembled by people who just did not care if it's components function or not. Cheap! Cheap! This was my 30th new motorhome. Owners of manufacturers[family owned I am told] just do not have any pride in their product. Would NEVER buy another of their products! Have a wonderful dealer though! Show less

Any vehicle almost 40 years old and only driven 700 miles will have engine or transmission problems. Oil attracts water so vehicles that sit and don't have yearly maintenance records I wouldn't buy unless you paid me. 1989 only 700 miles in 35 years I guarantee will have problems! Show less

This is my 20th new RV since 1978. Ranging from tiny to diesel pushers up to 42 feet. Size depending on family size over the years. I enjoy the RVing life but this most recent Rig[2025 BT Cruiser] has been a poorly constructed mess. Water leaks/missing options/sloppy assembly and a company that will not return phone calls or answer e-mails directed to a supposedly customer service department. Frankly it is hard to believe that the owners of the company are unaware of how unprofessional the staff treats customers. I ordered this unit and it was delivered in terrible condition with out any signs of quality control being directed towards its construction. It now has 17 miles on it as I had it trailer delivered from the factory to my dealer. It is now on my property in its own heated/cooled garage awaiting my dealer[good folks] to try and fix all the sloppy work done by the factory. At this time I am unable to use it. I do not know how the Gulf Stream management can sleep at night with their business ethics. I will never buy another of their products. Remember, I have had 20 of these...big and small...and this one is truely an an example of a company with out ethics. 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

I am widowed for 16 years , bought my mh 2012. Love it! Easy to handle, I tow a trailer with amphicar in it. I have painted all interior white and grey. I’m in need of shower door roller brackets. Anyone know of replacements? Knock on wood, not much wrong except just installed new Dometic refrigerator and need new seat covers in front cab. Pleather is falling apart. Thank you Gwen Show less

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!

I bought our 2004 BT Cruiser 5230 last year so we could travel outdoor during COVID. It was our first RV so we opted for a used model for about $22K with low 30K miles. We wanted the shortest RV with a full dry bath and this fit the bill at 24'. I've been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the RV given it's 16 years old. All appliances worked flawlessly and there are a lot of them: heater, AC, 3 burner stove, oven, frig Show less

Thermostat broke and battery didn’t hold a charge. Replaced thermostat and battery and added a second battery. Toilet leaks, one overhead light has never worked, inside trim is falling off the wardrobe and the vent is falling out of the ceiling in the bathroom. New thermostat changed the setting from cool @ 78 degrees to furnace @ 88 degrees. First time we thought we may have accidentally touched the thermostat, second time no one was in the RV. Now the slide is stuck. It is out about 4” and won’t move in or out. Had to end our road trip halfway through. Warranty repairs are scheduled for 6 weeks out, the soonest the dealer can get us in We have a real love/hate relationship with our unit. It is a perfect size and style for the two of plus dogs. Unfortunately, we can’t recommend it because the quality of workmanship is so poor. It is literally falling apart and we have only had it 5 months Show less

I have owned my BT cruiser for 7 years and absolutely love it! It is so quick and easy to set up. The layout is perfect with lots of living area with the 12' slide out. This length unit is so easy to maneuver, pull off the road at small lakes and turn around. Gulf Stream RV's are quality built and ride so smoothly that I often forget I am even driving a motorhome. There are so many standard items that seem like upgrades, such as Corian counters, solid wood cabinetry convection/microwave oven, etc. It is comfortable to drive and just hanging out inside. I highly recommend this RV model. Show less
