Gulf Stream Class A - Diesel reviews

We love this motorhome! The opposing slides make for a huge living space, and the atrium windows allow plenty of light in, so it doesn't feel like a cave as some Class A motorhomes do. The Caterpillar 330HP 3126e turbo diesel runs like a top, and with the Allison MH-3000 transmission has no problems getting us where we need to go. The only complaint I have is the bath is small, but I suppose that is the price to pay for all the open space. Show less

Why consider this unique class A motorhome? In addition to the technical specs listed with the ad, allow me to go over the finer points of enjoying this rig. No slides? That's right, it is one of the few diesel pushers without slides. We looked for two years to find one! In our experience we found the rig to be roomy enough without them (101" wide body). If you stop for lunch, rest area, or to do something while driving (restroom, prepare lunch, work at dinette with We Boost) it is roomy all of the time. No threading the needle to squeeze down the crowded passageway. Secondly, no worries about dust, rain, infiltration, wind whistle or seal replacement. Not to mention the added weight and costs to maintain. We've witnessed countless people with the slide not going out or worse yet, not going in as they were ready to leave, surprise! 113,700 miles? Yes, it is a diesel engine and Allison transmission. According to Prosourcediesel.com, a well maintained Cummins engine can go between 350,000 to 500,000 miles. This is a well maintain vehicle. A gas engine/transmission may be toast with that. Diesel engines are designed for high mileage use. Travel into Mexico? This 5.9 Cummins will run on any diesel fuel. Something we really love about the rear engine is the absence of noise and heat in the cab while driving! The air ride suspension feels like a tour bus. This 31' motorhome fits into most campsites. With it's short wheelbase and overall length we've fit into most National Parks and Forest Service campsites without issue. We go where most of the "big rigs" can't. With the water restricting faucets we can boondock/disperse camp for a very long time. It also has a transfer water pump so you can fill containers and easily transfer into the water tank! The solar/inverter set up, catalytic heater and vent driven fans keeps things nice without a/c. The A/C can be run by the propane Onan generator, but we didn't need it much. The awnings have made a huge difference when sunny or rainy. Miles per gallon? We drive slower by choice, at 55-60 mph not towing we can get 12 mpg, towing 9.8 average (flat). That saves $$$! We and our guests really enjoy the bright and bold colors while enjoying the indoors. We've had countless compliments on the clean exterior paint scheme as well. As you can see from the repairs and upgrades, this isn't a project motorhome, it is ready for travel now. We are looking for the right new owner to enjoy "Solmate" as much as we have. Thanks for checking out this atypical travel vehicle. Happy Trails Show less

This coach not as advertised. There has been body work in spots due to rust this paint is not flawless as described in the video. Tom is not the one time owner of this coach and Everytime I asked a question he had to call someone. Also this coach is now sitting in a dust lot and who knows for how long. I told he that I am willing to pay his asking price and to show him our comment on I sent him photos of our plane tickets from Florida to Portland. When we inspected the vehicle and told him we're not interested he they my luggage out of his truck and told us to leave his lot,and left us stranded and on our own this is not how a business person works.

It’s been fun to drive but need to downsize. It has been my home in Yellowstone for the last four years. I hate to sell it but it’s just too big.it’s comfortable. With the slide out I could actually live in it if I wanted to. I have had great experiences in this RV though only in Yellowstone. Add 110,000 miles, this RV is in great shape. It towed a car very well Show less

Just drove the new the new to me coach 745 miles from FL to AL. It had 33,000 miles on it and everything is still like new. The original owners were meticulous. The coach air ride suspension allows me to snore in the reclining co-pilot seat when momma takes the wheel. The Cummings M11 sipped the fuel at 8.3 mpg and she tipped the scale at 33,000 lbs. The Allison HD 4060 was a little rough automatically shifting down going down hill at about 60 mph. And there another rough shift down 3 to 2 around 15 mph. Still don’t know what to think about that. The aqua hot system needs to be serviced I didn’t have very much I water but that was expected for a rig this old. Once serviced, I’m sure it will be awesome filling up the whirlpool tub. Show less

I recently bought a used Tour master from a business of RV's in Ozark, Mo. I've found more issues than you can believe in just a under a month. I have and currently have so many things going wrong or are wrong that I could not recommend not only this RV but any RV manufactured by GS. From getting easy access to the engine a Cummins diesel, to no help from the Company. They don't make a class A anymore and I can understand why now. I would also do your homework on who you are buying from and also make sure to get a professional inspection any GS. Look and read everything you can about the RV and get as much info on it before you spend your money. These are big ticket items and you will want add things and some years were great others not so great. I would also suggest you buy a tag axle if you are wanting a long RV. The craftmanship isn't standard from one year to another or model either. I would suggest also a private seller instead or a dealer. Show less

This MH has been a great adventure for our family. Sleeps 4 comfortably and with the two slides in the Galley area the area feels like a family room. Pulls great, don't know you have the vehicle behind you. The ride is very smooth and driving is a breeze. Plenty of storage. Show less

We have thoroughly enjoyed our Motor Home and have created so many memories for our selves and Grandchildren. We love the floor plan which includes a dressing area which can be very private. It does look exceptionally clean and has been well maintained, inside and out. We have been pleasantly surprised when we were getting 10 mpg, as they advertise 10 to 12 mpg. Well built Motor Coach and the power of the diesel was another pleasant surprise. It will be a sweet deal for someone that truly wants to see our beautiful country. This review is about the 2007 Gulf Stream Cresendo. Show less
