Default the real breadth of a Gulf Stream

Hello,

we would like to buy a Gulf Stream, but in Europe there are restrictions on admission in height, length and especially width.

The respective dimensions can be found in the individual brochures.

Now, Gulf Stream changes from model year to model year with the widths.

For example, in the year 2000 the Gulf Stream Friendship had a width of 100" in the prospectus and for the 2001 model year it should be 101".

As a matter of fact, a width of 102" has been found in the 2000 Friendship, so 2" more than in the brochure.

Unfortunately, this is too broad for Europe and we would not get the motorhome approved. It would be worthless for us.

So I have the request or question, whether someone at his 2000 engine house or the 2006 Crescendo Diesel pusher once measured.

Only the pure body without attachments such as mirrors, turn signals, awning, etc.

Because in the 2006 Crescendo Diesel pusher it might also behave as the 2007 series the Crescendo is again 101" wide.

Unfortunately, I can not even just quickly measure themselves on the vehicles on site, 18 hours of flight lie between ...

Love thanks in advance.

Best regards

Kirk

Hello everyone,

unfortunately we do not have Gulf Stream at hand, where I can quickly measure myself.

So, please, please, someone has a 2006 Gulf Stream Crescendo 8386 outside the door and could tell me whether the actual width differs from the in the brochure?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Best regards

Well Kirk, My 2002 Gulf Stream Scenic Cruiser measures 108 inches wide. That is just the body, house part, no mirrors or anything else. So I assume the Crescendo probably measures about the same.

Hello,

Thank you for your answer...

108 inches is quite wide - did you measure the mirror mountings?

The prospectus for the 2002 model year shall be 100 ".

That would be quite a big deviation ...

Best regards

Well Kirk, you are right, I measured wrong. So I got somebody to help me measure it and it measured 102" wide. My coach does not look like the prospectus on your link.

Hello,

thanks a lot for your reply and your re-measuring.

Well, the theme does not let go!

Are there regular production tolerances of 2 "?

We only measured a Monaco front, as it came with the manufacturers.

Since we have fallen in love with the Gulf Streams, we can not fall back on any other experience.

In the US, 102 "are not a problem, in Europe because of the limitations already ...

That would mean that a Gulf Stream then unfortunately is not for us?

Best regards

Kirk,

The information on my 2007 Tour Master 40-C says it is 100" wide. Unfortunately I can not confirm that at the moment as I am in Idaho and it is in Oregon presently. I will be back there after the 12th and will try to measure it then. Hope that is soon enough to help you out....

Chuck
