Like all motor homes, Gulf Stream leaves some of the finish out up to the dealers. Unfortunately, this happens with coaches from most manufacturers in all price ranges. Having gone through this more than once, I have found that working with the dealer and Gulf Stream will, over time, provide you with a coach you will enjoy and will be fault free. I had a leak on mine and it was from the connection of the front cap to the main cabin. Dealers can run a test where they pressurize the inside of the coach, foam the outside, and find the source of your leaks. Had this done over a year ago, leaks were detected and repaired and have not returned.
The main thing, IMHO, is to establish a good working relationship with the dealer and GS. I did and they exceeded my expectations when it came to repairs and service.
It is my contention that most new coaches go through the first (warranty) year with issues. If you are diligent with your diagnosis and have the dealer make repairs during this period, subsequent years will be for enjoyment and relaxation.
Good luck with your year of terror and frustration. In my case, I am much more understanding having gone through the experience before.
