Looking at purchasing a 2004 BT Cruiser by Gulfstream. Was wondering if there is anyone that could give us pro's and con's of this RV. Interested in serviceability, gas mileage, any problems encountered, likes and dislikes, etc. It has 25,000 miles on it.

I have a 2005 on 2004 chassis. Queen in back. One small slide. Dinette and barrel chair. I have driven it to all coasts and Canada. Generally pleased. I am always amazed at some of the construction when I look behind things but they are easily improved and I guess common to most RV's. Have a friend with a 2006 25ft mine is 28ft and he had two slides and liked it very much but wanted a bed in the back so traded. I replaced the mattress with a visco elastic and removed the tv from the upper compartment and installed an lcd on swing arm. Put doors over the space vacated by TV for great storage. The unit has ample storage and plenty of power from the 450. I can get 10-11 if I drive 55-60, drops off to 8 at 70. I pull a Prius on a tow dolly. Go for it.
Go for it, reviews in general have been good. Some of the BT's had a nasty squeak over the drivers head. Take it for a good ride over some rougher roads and on the interstate where 18 wheelers rattle your windows. The squeak should show up. We own a R-Vision Trail-Lite which is similar in size and we have been pleased. We looked very closely at the BT, but decided on the Trail-Lite as the dealers made about a $5,000 difference. There is a long topic called B+ motorhomes which contains several postings by owners of the Gulf Stream BT Cruiser.
