Re: Gulf Stream?
I don't understand your question, it sounds like you think Sandpiper is made by Gulf Stream. If I am wrong, sorry. Sandpiper is Forest River.
If you want a full time Fifth Wheel, I would recommend Gulf Stream's Canyon Trail, Canyon Trail Sedona Edition or Prairie Schooner. IF you look at the way the whole trailer is made, it will blow others, not out of the water, but out of the ocean.
Look at the Vacuum Bonded walls. There are 4 Vacuum bonding machines in the world. At about a million and a half each, Gulf Stream owns 2 of them. Most others pinch roll. Our walls are R-10. A friend of mine has a$120,000Teton, his walls are R-8.
Gulf Stream uses 12 gallon water heaters, Sedona Edition and up. Gulf Stream uses 42,000btu furnaces. Underbellys, like everyone else, are "heated and enclosed". What Gulf Stream does that sets them apart, is they insulate the underbelly and take TWO 1.5" lines off the furnace and blow into the underbelly. Everyone else lets the radiant heat off the tubes heat the underbelly.
Look at the total insulation numbers on the trailer. Gulf Stream's are some of the best insulated on the market.
Gulf Streams Slideouts are the Tallest, Deepest and Strongest in the industry.
Find a dealer that knows his product (or call me) and they will sell you a Gulf Stream.
