    I and my techs at my shop have replaced floors in 3 or 4 of those vintage cruisers all less then 5 years old and some just out of warranty (which would not fix water damage anyway) . Gulfstream really scrimped on the quality of those because they figured people would be too distracted by the looks to pay attention to the build quality. they look really cool but built like absolute crap. Before you buy any brand new anything look at the same brand a few years old used to see how well they hold up. You might be very surprised and avoid a big mistake Because you will be making payments on them for 10 , 12 plus years and you want a camper that won't fall apart 3 or 4 years after you buy it and you still owe more then its worth.

    I LOVE the twin beds! I'm happy to see them more and more often. I like the attempt at a vintage look, but other than the colors it seemed like any other small RV. I'd like to see more vintage touches. Make the cupboards look older. Plain wood if they can't be metal, and put those old silver handles on them, for instance.

    THESE ARE ADORABLE ! I JUST WISH THEY HAD A BIGGER MODELS , WITH BUNKS

  • @spmamabear
    @spmamabear 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    As it happens, seeing one of the bunkhouse models of the Vintage lineup on the used RV market sent me down a small rabbit hole of these this week. A nearly 30k acre wildfire nearby and evacuation orders, with no shelters to evacuate to reminded me that we may need a home away from home, and I was staring at campers again. Major evacuation shelters were fairground campgrounds with RV hookups, no cots or blankets for those who do not have a camper. We have a friend who'd let us bunk out at her house, but you never know.
    Let's try to organize this a bit: I *like* the idea of the "vintage" styling, but *dislike* the ultra modern looking appliances in there are jarring to the eye. Not a dealbreaker, but I'd kind of expect white appliances to jive with the exterior. I've got a dated kitchen in my house, you know the warm wood cabinets and green countertops. When I bought our home, it came with stainless steel appliances held together by holy spirit and duct tape. I replaced them as they broke down. White appliances just pop, make the space look larger. Ironically, white appliances cost me more, because fewer people want them anymore, I get it, cost is a factor for the manufacturer! Even black appliances would get a pass in a travel trailer.
    *Strong dislike:* Blue LED mood lighting. It messes with my eyesight, and I have trouble focusing my already poor vision. Just an old fashioned warm white or clear white LED would be better. Remember when we were kids and the microwave lights were red? Easier to see and read, and won't undo your night vision if you're just stumbling to the bathroom for a potty break at 3am. I really need to squint to _see_ the blue, it's the light's wavelength.
    *LOVE:* Blue interior trim! (after the last dislike, this may seem funny). The Gulf Stream website photos for the teal camper show a teal and cream interior. Personally, it's too loud and I don't like the teal as pictured in the interior photos. The blue-cream interior in the video has better contrast, and is a bit more restful for the eye to look at. If I could get my trailer with this blue trim in stead of the available red, teal, or "woody", I'd 100% get blue. I can see myself chilling in that interior after a long day of driving.
    *Ehhhh..:* Layout-wise I'm that person who wants a compact unfussy travel trailer for weekend boondocking and occasional cross-country trips to the grandparents, and rarely for a week or two at a time. I also had a need to house farm laborers this spring, and will again, so I'm not out mileage compensation for them coming in from an hour away every day. I need a bunkhouse model of some kind since I have four kids, so Gulf Stream didn't really design one that suits me exactly, but they're on the right track, which leads me to another... *Like:* The front bedroom with two twin beds! They're onto something, and even if you don't have a family, there's this good old bro code to keep in mind. Still doesn't solve the puzzle of sleeping 6, but I'll get to that on the bottom.
    *Dislike:* Not great for a large family, although these are in my budget bracket! Both bunkhouse trailers in the vintage lineup (23BHS & 23QBS) have single bunks, and a slide out, and it looks like you won't be able to access the bathroom with the slide closed, so I'd be futzing with the jackknife sofa every night, and climbing over furniture to take potty breaks along the road if I can't find a rest stop. For a family with kids, one of them still potty training, it's a dealbreaker!
    Time to crank out the architecture courses I took from before I quit halfway through an engineering degree... :D
    So what I'm thinking here is..
    *1*: The closest unit to what is my "ideal" layout is the 19TWD (rear dinette with front twin beds, the blue camper in this tour video), so I'm using it for reference.
    If the twin bed front bedroom was a set of two single over single bunks on each side like in some usually discontinued camper models from various manufacturers, I could tuck my 4 kids up in there and can still spend a little while before bed or after getting up in the morning working on my laptop, or prepping food for the next day, or whatever. If the top bunks flip out of the way like in ship cabins, the front bedroom can be a second living space, if so desired. Great for boardgame night, or homeschooling on the road, or just get a break from each other. I'm sure some families would convert it to a king bed with two single bunks over it.
    *2*: Same 19TWD plan has no slideouts that would interfere with bathroom access on travel days! The split bathroom creates separation, and someone can do their business on one side, while another is taking a shower on the other.
    *3*: If the camper interior was a bit longer, such as built on the 23 foot frame, there would be 4 more feet to fit in a U dinette in the back, some kind of shoe/coat closet or cubby shelving at the door, and due to the curve of the front wall, accommodations for the space needed for the top bunks could be squeezed in. And lastly, possibly add a scrap more kitchen counter space and storage.
    *4*: I'd also gladly accept slightly larger holding tanks, and rooftop solar, since we are the types who _will_ boondock. It's an 8 day drive minimum to see the grandparents, add maybe two 1-2 night stops at campgrounds to rest, dump tanks, refill water, and explore. It'd get a lot of miles fast when we do go out.
    Website for these campers lists tankless water heaters in all models, and 100W rooftop solar. They seem to be leaning in the same direction as me, probably based on consumer feedback.
    The double axle on the larger models does bring peace of mind on the road, since I'm usually a mom traveling alone with 4 kids, but our western mountain location means I absolutely do not want a massive trailer. Breakdowns on the road outside cell phone range in the western mountains would become high stress situations. The second axle brings stability, and prevents the whole rig flipping off the road into the river canyon where I live. (Yikes!)
    My truck's towing capacity goes up to 10,400lbs if I upgrade the hitch and add a trailer break controller, I just don't want to tow a large, heavy rig, both for mileage, and planned usage reasons.

    We, have owned two of these Vintage Cruisers. The 2016 was still in great shape 6 years later. We just bought a 2019 19csk Woodie. Be forewarned, the colored vinyl on the seats/couches looks great but starts disintegrating within a few years. Already happening on the 2019. That radius shower is fine for smaller people. I am 6 foot 235 pounds and can use it fine.

    These are really appealing to me. I nearly bought the first I saw after attending a show for something to do. The construction, design (1 piece fiberglass roof, Azdel walls), light weight and styling sold themselves for me. Why say all this after not buying it? I am still seriously thinking about buying one a few years later, despite not really having any current designs on doing any camping. Should anything change to free up my ability to do so more easily, I'm going to a Gulfstream dealer to look at one of these again. I especially like the 23's with bunks.

    In my opinion trailers that small don't need that sink counter in them do a fold down sink like in slide in campers/boats. or even just a little rectangle wall hung sink to clean your hand in. Put in a decent shower and toilet placement. Honestly when it is that small turn it into a wet-bath.

    I might be willing to pay a little more if they made them with just a little more upgraded materials, and vintage-E kind of look. It's hard to describe, but the wheels for instance. Some of the true older ones have those chrome wheels or hubcaps, etc...just a little more quality, and the bathrooms for sure need some help. I actually went into one of these at a local lot, and my overall view was.....could be a little better.

  • @larrygray1557
    @larrygray1557 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It is unfortunate that you had three 19's and not at least one 23. Two huge differences. 1) Most 23 floorplans retain the rear diner but add the sofa directly opposite the entry door, so you get both. 2) The 23 is a dual axel vs the single on the 19. Personally, I would lean towards the 23...and immediate DIY, porcelain toilet (and sink) swap out. It is also one of about 4 manufacturers that offers the twin bed floorplan variation. Biggest dislike, appears distracting with the vintage decor and some components, like Azdel, then cheaping out on functional components.
