I have to say I absolutely love my 2004 Gulf Stream Sun Voyager. I have owned it since 2004 but it was considered a used Unit at the time because they make them 2003 and some of the model units are leased and then sold in the new year. I purchased my unit with 16,000 miles on it and as of today I have 67,000 on it.

My unit has Heavy Duty Allison transmission, Workhorse, 8.1 Vortex Engine, is a 37.5 footer with 2 Slide Outs... The only reason I am selling mine is because my husband passed away. Otherwise I would keep my unit if I could drive & maintain on my own.

If this is your first RV there are many things to learn, that I was clueless about until my husbands passing. Overall though these units are self teaching and easy to use. I have my switches for leveling inside so very easy to level. Every though it levels to the ground I still have wood planks in my storage cabinets because I noticed different areas camping the ground is softer. I hate when levels sink into the ground, so I place planks underneath the levels before I drop them down.

This particular unit has had a lot of recalls. Make sure have them completed, my husband was a engine builder so we did maintenance ourselves but now being on my own I would make sure you double check recalls are completing. The biggest headache in recalls are the calipers. Even though we changed ours several times. They still heat up and stick. I called the recall center and they said since we never brought it in, I am still covered for the free caliper recall repair.

There's also recalls on main front Samsung original TV, the original Microwave & some of the unit the refrigerators were recalled. Another major recall which a lot a people forget about was the main hardness wiring in the steering column. So Please make sure when buying to check recall list...

Happy RV as these unit are just fabulous... Oh also Love my one piece roof system as they are so easy to maintain, you can do caulking & rubberizing yourself. I did my own for first time & it was easier than I thought, except for getting over being 12 1/2 feet off the ground.
