Hi...hubby and I just purchased our first Gulfstream travel trailer....the Visa 19ERD. After researching and almost buying a MPG we changed our minds and took a look at the Visa and decided we liked the fact that it had a walk around bed...tub-shower and larger bathroom area. The dinette was bigger, the fridge was bigger, it had an awning unlike the MPG. We are looking forward to taking it out and about soon. We were wondering if GS owners ever gather for rallies etc? or other similar clubs or groups where you can meet with other people. Looking forward to learning all we can from others.
Hi! Congrats on your new Visa! I'm a newbie here myself, a wannabe actually. We're interested in the Visa 23BHD.
How do you like your Visa so far? Sounds like you haven't had a chance to get out in it yet, so that might be a premature question
We too have looked at the MPG and the R-Pod because we love the rounded styling, but the putsy awnings that follow the profile had turned us off (we currently have an Aliner and the awning is so useful but putsy to put up threading poles and staking it out.) A standard pull-out awning is high on our list of criteria in a new camper.
Cheers!

Hi...nice to meet you....nope we haven't had a chance to go out in it yet but we are sure we are going to love it...we just sold our 28 foot motorhome and the Visa is pretty much just a smaller version of it minus the engine. Yeah we at first didn't think the awning was that big of deal but changed our minds. We also decided on the Visa for being able to have grandkids with us at times we hope. Hope it all works out for what you are looking for... Sherry

LOL, well congrats on your move to the dark side! It seems that we're not far behind you...although with a hard side PUP I guess we might be kind of "darkish" already
Still a great group of folks over there and I don't plan to leave regardless of what we're camping in.Cheers,
Kristin
In my case, almost 2 month. The first month was not too bad, we still had some snow, it was cold and all the campgrounds in my area were closed. But now, many campgrounds opened this week end, it's nice outside and apart from all the flooding we have in the area, I can't wait to go camping. I pick my trailer up on a Thursday and we leave Friday night because for us the following Monday is a holiday. We haven't decided yet but so far it looks like a trip to Lake George NY.

Thanks Toaobigal! 8 weeks would be cutting it awfully close to the 4th of July weekend, which we already have reservations for...and presumably whoever would be buying our current camper would probably want to use it for their own holiday weekend as well. And we have two reservations between now and then too, not the end of the world to cancel or postpone, but still. :?
It might not be 8 weeks for you, I'm in Canada and these trailer are buitl in Indiana I think . My dealer only sends his truck to pick trailers when there is a full load and then everything has to go through customs so I guess it could be faster in your case since you're in the US. Another good news for me today: my PUP was on the dealer's lot (they are selling it for me) and they sold it today, I have to sign the papers tomorow and then bye bye PUP (I'll miss it) so one less thing to worry about.
I think I was a victim of Murpy's law: I should have waited to have the check in hand before posting about it! (next time I say it's sold, it will really be sold). On the brighter side, I received my Maxxair, for the bathroom vent, and I also have the tv set to go in the trailer and the Weber Q100 grill is on it's way. Good thing I have next Thursday off, I want everything to be ready to leave on Friday after work.
