I am interested in the laminated built Gulf Stream Cabin Cruiser line and Vista Cruiser, but there are far more floorplans I like in their Stick and Tin models. Even so from Grand Designs.
But as I said, if galvanic corrosion is a common thing with Stick and Tin because makers are going cheap and using panels with impurities and/or are not using the right staples or screws, I don't want to be duped into another 7 year life span travel trailer.
I have always kept that Jayco up. Got it sealtech leak tested every year and recaulked every year along with fixing anything that was needed. Then the corrosion came and I fixed it everytime.
Just no excused for a 7 year old camper to be corroding away or laminating away.
I've always read and heard good things about Gulf Stream so I'm looking at their campers. I also hear good things about Grand Design even though I have found their furnishings made cheaply compared to Jayco.
Seems many here have had good luck with stick and tin from other makers so maybe Gulf Stream and Grand Designs would be a good start as they have many floorplans I like.
Thanks for the help.
