once with the slide in, and again with the slide out. \u00a0Any unit that doesn&#8217;t pass the test comes back after adjustments have been made. \u00a0Our products have to pass the Rain Booth test before they can &#8216;graduate.&#8217;<\/p>\n<h2>Our Rain Booth &#8211;

and it&#8217;s typically the first thing that happens to a travel trailer or motor home when it arrives at an RV Dealership. \u00a0Dealer service personnel inspect and check every aspect of the new RV to make sure it&#8217;s ready for sale. \u00a0But with Gulf Stream Coach products, PDI also happens right at the factory. \u00a0A highly skilled and strongly independent team of inspectors performs that pre-delivery inspection AFTER plan inspectors have certified a unit for shipping and BEFORE it arrives at your local dealership.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s the best way to ensure that your new Gulf Stream Coach travel trailer or motor home leaves our facilities in peak condition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the last stops before Gulf Stream Coach RV&#8217;s are cleared for the ship line is an extended session in our Rain Booth. \u00a0It&#8217;s one important &#8211;
