It was a great RV until I noticed the hitch A-frame bending at the front of the trailer. The frame crushing the front diamond plate shield and causing trailer to sag. Took it to a trailer shop and they said box frame to thin for the trailer and had to replace entire a-frame at my cost. Gulf Stream took no responsibility and blamed frame manufacturer Lippert. Lippert tested section and said no problem with their specs from Gulf Stream. Out over $6000 for replacement made from thicker material.

Let me begin with we have had many types and lengths of camping vehicles. From pop up’s to Class A motorhome. We specifically purchased this unit because we wanted something that could be towed behind a SUV and have a complete bathroom. We looked at many floor plans but decided on this on. First it is built light so it will have light cheaper materials in it. Understand that and it helps in understanding what you are purchasing. Most all makes we have purchased have had leaks in the drains or water connections. This unit was no different. I went around and tightened all connections in unit, it took about an hour. Yes this should be done by the dealers but it never seems to get accomplished. The water pump is under the bathroom sink so fairly easy to access and winterize. Everything worked on it when we picked it up and has since then. It tows very easy and we have had no problems with it. We put 6000 equalizer hitch system on it and it drives well down the road. We know if we were towing it with a truck we’d would not even know it was there. The AC is loud but most of them are, it is your normal Dometic unit. I am surprised by how lightweight it is that it has done well for cooling and heating. The undercarriage is not insulated(because of weight). We have camped in it at 30 degrees and it has worked fine. So for an ultra light camper that is 19’ long, has a full bathroom, full sleeping area, kitchen , full refrigerator and freezer(separate doors), and a dinette table. This unit works very well. Access under the dinette and under the beds could be easier but we understand everything is weight in these types of units so doors will add weight. Overall we are very happy with this single axle trailer and the fact that we have what we wanted on the inside. We were willing to sacrifice with lighter weight materials to get the size we wanted with the weight.

This travel trailer tows very easily. the load distribution bars keep it firmly level and without hopping. Everything is small but it is a 23' unit. The shower gets immediate hot water. The gas heater works like a charm. The best thing about the ERD model is the rear settee which gives great views on three sides...hence Vista Cruiser. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat!

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.

I purchased vehicle in May 2018. Drove 2000 miles to pick it up.The quality of the trailer was poor with over 20 items wrong. The list consist of lighting fixtures not straight to leaking water system. doors don't align up. Black water system doesn't register on panel. The dealer where I purchased from installed hitch wrong and now has to be replaced. Trailer has been sitting at a dealer for warranty repair for nearly 6 weeks and says it will be another 2 to 3 weeks for parts. Contacted gulfstream and talked to rep (position unknown) he gave me an attitude like it is my problem. Customer service has been horrible all threw this purchase. My recommendation is do not get involved with Gulfstream RV. And enjoy your camping with another coach. If I could rate this with no stars I would. I did however like the floor plan

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.
