Default Re: Purchasing 2004 Gulfstream Sun Voyager 8378

Congratulations on the purchase of a motor home. I am not sure which model you bought, but I have seen some of those Sun Voyagers that are really nice floor plans. As far as to the brand Gulf Stream, we love ours which we bought brand new in 2003.
It was the top of the line at the time, it is a Scenic Cruiser diesel pusher with a Caterpillar engine. For us it has been the perfect coach. The problems have been minimal. It seems like when it was brand new is when some of the problems come up which was good because it was still covered under warranty. But in the last ten years I have only had one problem and that was a leaky exhaust manifold gasket which I got fixed right away.

You probably know that Gulf Stream got out of the mechanized division when the recession hit and a lot of motor home companies went belly up. Well, Gulf Stream survived the recession with their trailer line selling fifth wheel trailers and travel trailers, but they closed the mechanized line. I notice that they have reopened a line for the class B mechanized motor home. So maybe later on if the economy continues to improve they will start building big coaches again.

As far as getting service for your coach which you are about to purchase, it should be no problem. I believe it has the big Chevy engine. I know that we have not had any problems servicing our Cat engine at a Freight liner shop.

Good luck!
