Gulf Stream Coach "Cradle Of Strength®"

Only Gulf Stream Coach Motor Homes Have The “Cradle Of Strength®”

We’ve spent over thirty years building motor homes that give you the same kind of comfort, convenience, and safety you enjoy in your own home.  So far we’ve put over 60,000 motor homes on the road – and, as you can imagine – we’re really good at it!

Imagine this too:  Imagine what it’s like to build a home that has to travel 70 miles per hour on an Interstate Highway, and wind its way along narrow, bumpy country roads.  Then imagine a home that has to go up and down hills, brave the rain, snow, and searing summer sun, all while carrying the people you love most from one place to another.

Because you put your family in our hands, we put a “Cradle Of Strength®” under your motor home.

box style TUFF TRUSSESUnique in the RV industry, the Gulf Stream Coach “Cradle Of Strength®” is the carefully engineered foundation of steel we add to the motor home chassis.

Our Cradle Of Strength® uses large box-style TUFF TRUSSES rated at 6,000 lbs. each.  That puts more welded steel across the chassis rail than the triangle trusses other manufacturers use.

We further stiffen and strengthen the trusses with front-to-rear steel stringers.

We build our outside storage compartments with galvanized steel, not plastic, then wrap the insides with felt to protect your cargo.

We use extra welds and brackets to mount our TUFF TRUSSES on top of the main frame rail so they can’t shift down.

 

 

Galvanized steel subfloorFinally, we cover the drivetrain and service lines with a 26-gauge galvanized steel sub-floor.

Our Cradle Of Strength is the perfect foundation for our laminated floor and walls, providing incredible stiffness, resilience, and durability.  That strength translates into more dependable road manners, easier handling, and an overall safer, less-stressful driving experience.

We give you a “Cradle Of Strength®” –  and no one else does.

If you want a “Cradle Of Strength®” as the foundation of your family’s next RV, there’s only one way to get it:  Choose a Gulf Stream Coach motor home.  Whether you prefer the family-favorite Conquest Class C, or “The sports car of motor homes” BT Cruiser, you can rest assured:  There’s a “Cradle Of Strength®” supporting and protecting you everywhere you go.

New Photo Gallery of Stunning BT Cruiser Model 5316 Just Added

At just over 32 feet in length, the BT Cruiser Model 5316 is the longest BT Cruiser floor plan, with  two slides to expand both the main living area and the master bedroom, to provide extraordinary accommodations for a traveling couple.

Take a photo tour of the model 5316.

Here’s your chance to ‘step inside’ the 5316 and see the way life is lived, Gulf Stream Coach style.  You can see the mastery of our own cabinetmakers, working with our Light Roanoke Cherry.  You’ll see the large, deep, round stainless steel kitchen sink that is earning raves from campers who have struggled with tiny plastic sinks so common in RVs.

Take a look at a master suite that includes a full wall of closets, wardrobes, and drawers; see the remarkable two-way LED lights, that offer bright white light for reading and cool blue light for after-hours atmosphere.

See how the large picture windows in the main living area capture and frame scenic outside views, yet provide a high level of privacy with soft pleated shades.  Discover how we’ve adapted the latest electronic entertainment and information systems to the campground environment. Notice  how we’ve used every available square inch of space for storage.

See the model 5316 in person.

Enjoy the virtual tour of images, then make plans to visit a BT Cruiser near you for an in-person tour and test-drive.  Discover how we’ve combined luxury, comfort, and on-the-road performance in the 5316, a prime example of why people call the BT Cruiser “The Sports Car of Motor Homes.”
