As was stated earlier, they both are the same except for the paint. BUT I personally like the paint scheme on the Prairie Schooner better.
As for the service from Gulf Stream, I have found that Gulf Stream has been great. The problem lies in the dealer in our area. One example was in May we took our motorhome to our dealer with a windshield problem after I had personally talked to Gulf Stream factory service. I was told that the "zip strip" needed to be changed to the larger size to keep the windshield held in place since it had moved out at the top.
Gulf Stream gave me the part number of the new strip that needed to be ordered and installed. Gulf Stream even stated they would pay for the repair.
I called the dealer's service department and made arrangements for the coach to be taken to them.
Well, guess what?? The dealer did NOT do what Gulf Stream told them to do and just put the windshield back in place. Our first trip out was to go to the GulfStreamer's Back Home Rally in Indiana. The windshield came back out at the top.
Luckily the factory service techs were at the rally. They looked at the windshield and right away took action to pull the old "zip strip" and reset the windshield, they installed the larger "zip strip" as they had instructed Sirpilla RV to do one month earlier and they had not.
Windshield problem now seems to be solved because the windshield stayed in place on the way home and looks like it will forever.
One other thing, our toilet decided to start leaking at the rally. I again went to see the factory techs, they checked it out and said the water valve was leaking on the toilet. Well they would have to pull the toilet to rebuild the valve so they decided to just replace the toilet. They sent the parts person back to the factory to pick up a new toilet and installed it in our coach.
Now our coach is out of the basic one year warranty BUT there was NO CHARGE for any of the above by Gulf Stream.
That's Service with a smile.
If you do buy a Gulf Stream product, I highly encourage you to join the Gulf Streamers International RV Club. I also encourage you to attend the "Back Home Rally" that is usually held in June of each year. The contacts that you will make at the factory level are very valuable and makes life much easier if/when you have a problems that need correcting.
Good luck with your full timing plans, hopefully we will meet on the road or at a Gulf Streamers Rally.
