Gulfstream

Will p/u my "new to me" 2002 Gulfstream Conquest with 38000 miles this weekend. Runs great and"Appears" good. No owners manuals. Can anyone tell where can get one. Also any "plus" or "minus" about these
rigs I should beware of? Thank you
  • Agree with most of what has been said, particularly the owners manual for the coach itself - very generic.

    Just wanted to say, that we owned a 2001 Conquest Classic, that had 20K+ when we bought it. During 8 years and 30k miles we did not have to put any money into the coach, and only brakes on the chassis. It was a great unit.

    We now have a 34' class A, and I would take the Gulfstream back in a minute.

    Good luck - travel safe.
  • The manual listed above is the only one I have for my Gulf Stream
    I found manuals for the appliances online. Downloaded them to my computer. Most of them are PDF files. Find the model number of your appliances and then do a search for the manuals.
    If you did not get manuals for your chassis. Do a search. Not sure about Ford. But Chevy manuals can be found on their site.
    No electrical drawing from GS. Most of the wires have their use printed on the wire on my 2004 GS.
  • Thank you all for the info I will use this forum as my go to.:D
  • As hotbyte said, the manuals are generic and not made for a specific model. Do not waste your time or money trying to find one. Any info you may need, just ask on the forum here and you should get your answer quickly.
  • You can download the owner's manual, such as it is, from Gulfstream here along with some other support information.

    More useful would be to contact Ford (or Chevy or whomever) and get a chassis manual if you don't have that. A dealer should be able to get that for you for free or at worst for a nominal charge. Also finding manuals for the various appliances and gizmos would be helpful.
  • At one time, you could call Gulf Stream with the vin # and they would send you the complete set of manuals, including appliances, etc. Don't know if they still do. Give it a try.
  • We have a 2006 Gulfstream Yellowstone bought used in 2010. We've been pleased with it thusfar. It came with manuals but, to be honest, I wonder worry too much about not having the Gulfstream manual - especially if you are already familiar with RV operation. It is pretty generic. You might be better served to find manuals for the specific appliances you have installed.

    My biggest dislike is the flat roof. It hasn't caused any issues and I don't notice any puddling around a/c but that is always a worry. We store it at home and can see the roof from a second story window. I'll look at every so often after a hard rain just to be sure. It is parked a little off level which I hope helps.

    The dinette was put together a little flimsy so I screwed in some additional supports where the back meets the sides of the benches. Basically, 3/4 X 3/4 piece of wood placed on the inside corner and screwed in from back & side.

    As far as pluses, it has been a mostly solid rig for price paid. Ours is 31' and drives very good. I read many posts here of need to add steering stabilizers, etc. but I've not seen a need. We pull a 3,000lb boat and no issues towing except for occasional rear dragging.

    Good luck with delivery and hope you get as much enjoyment from yours as we have with ours.
