Gulf Stream Conquest owners

[margerush]

Hay all, new to this forum. Husband & I are seriously considering purchasing the Gulf Stream Conquest 6230. We would like to hear your reviews of this Class C. We live in hot & humid central FL and plan to spend a lot of time in Tucson, AZ. So my main question is it has one 13K btu air conditioner. Is one small air conditioner sufficient to keep this 32' unit cool?

I bought a new 2024 Conquest 6237E 2 months ago.  Worst purchase I have ever made. 3 major floods!  Rear window was not sealed and soaked bedding and mattress.  Both rear fender wells were not sealed and flooded while driving in the rain. Had enough water come in that it ran out the camper door.  The day I drove it home from the dealership I could hear something sliding around in the back.  The fresh water tank under the bed was not mounted down.  I repaired that myself since I live 200 miles from the dealership.  But the first time I filled the tank it leaked real bad.  Sliding around broke the top of the tank at the vent fitting.  Found out about the terrible quality of woodworking under the bed when the tank was replaced. The toilet was not secured down and leaked. The two big drawers under the closet refuse to stay shut when driving with any weight in them. The big window over the dinette rattles over 40 mph  unless the road is as smooth as glass. There are a few other small things that needed immediate attention.   I'm really sorry I bought this brand of a Class C.

A single AC on a 32 is a tuff one. Some people carry a portable 10k and vent kit it out a window. Some hot climate folks carry them in the toad. I would not carry something that heavy inside the rv to transport it.

I made solid foam insulation covers for all my windows. Cut them a little bigger than the window so they fit snug and be held in place by the shades. I cut a square about 12X12" so I can see out. I covered the square with clear shrink-film window material which sticks in place. It helps very well in the heat and works when its cold out to keep the rv warmer. I cover my roof vents inside with those foam inset pillows. They have foil on one side. For summer/winter use.



Park in the shade if you can. I would also think a white rv opposed to dark painted rv would also make a difference.

I just want to add that when temps hit the 100F mark things seem to become harder to cool.
