I enjoyed this video. We bought a slightly larger one replacing our A and B class. It becomes the average of both. Ours is 24 ft with full slideout. Love it. Only complaint/recommendation is to improve use of cabinets by having removable shelving. I installed them including the front ones by TV staining them the same color. Manufacturer was helpful in solving some defects. Excellent service.

Enjoyed your tour. I like listening to your voice. NO BS, just facts. Thank you.

Great construction and layout. It’s the ideal RV size, falling between B and C, where there’s ample space inside without feeling cramped.

It’s a C class.

I know a lot of people don’t like the overcab bunks, but I really think that should be an option with this model. This model could have a lot of appeal for families (including mine) that want a roadtrip and camping vehicle without being huge. The bunk over cab would allow 4 people to sleep easily while keeping the small footprint. For those without kids, the overhead bunk provides invaluable space for this rv that desperately needs it (where do you store bedding when you’re not using it?). I can imagine a larger family bringing a tent along for the campsite, but loving this for siteseeing because there is a toilet and ability to store and make meals while out. A tent trailer could also be towed for extra sleeping. Thank you so much to the manufacturer for adding so many seatbelts. It’s such an easy way to speak to families. If anyone out there knows of a model like this with an overhead bed, please share.

Agreed - more than enough power for whatever you want to do.

I love it! I like that it’s small and nimble. It can easily fit in national parks. My husband and I are getting older. I could drive this and I don’t need to worry about hooking and unhooking a trailer. I like the safety of the cab and living are all in one. I like how there is a lot of seating/seatbelts for guests. This would be great for the beach or tailgating. I could continue. The price like everything else in today’s world a bit much. But considering cost of truck/trailer it’s a bit better. Great review.

Thanks for giving the msrp nobody ever does that, it is very helpful for a new buyer to get an idea on what they can afford 👍

We have owned a 5210 for a little over 2 years. Great engine and transmission, excellent going up hills and very good transmission control going down hills. We only have 7,000 miles on it and it is still breaking in and getting better MPG The on board computer shows 11.5 to 12.0 MPG at a steady 63 miles per hour. Exterior finish is fine, although lots of left-over sealant around the seams. I have fixed the roof leaks and rebuilt the ceiling after the winter seepage. Most of the interior plumbing leaks have been tightened up, just one bathroom sink leak to fix. The appliances are standard and all work well, now. I fixed the wind leaks around the front 2 cabin windows with some water dam material from Amazon and some black tape. Almost looks factory installed and it sure stops the wind noise and the windows flexing at 60 Miles per hour. Or course you cannot open them any more, but the other 2 windows are enough air. Also had good luck finding the short in the wiring to the roof lights. When the ladder screws were installed they pierced the supply wire and it would short out all the running lights. I hope I have it fixed now. The Ford chassis and drive train are excellent as is the suspension. I have most of the fit and finish corrected, hinges, alignment, and drawer slides. Just the bathroom door hinges to replace and re-hang the door. This 5210 is a 2021 and they were moving them thru the factory pretty quick at that time. All in all it is a pleasure to drive.

The simplicity and practical layout of this unit is very cool.

THIS IS EVERYTHING!!! I NEEEEED!

This seems like the perfect size, without being cramped. The sofas/bed are a good idea and the kitchen looks very user friendly as well. We had a class C and the huge bunk over the cab not only came out very far but also made it feel very awkward when driving. The design on this Gulf Stream looks much improved! Thanks for showing it.

I kind of like it. Seems like a great starter RV

I agree. The dry bath! one thing that I would need is additional battery storage for a large solar set up. Over all, it looks like a great value.

Our first coach was a 1984 24' Lindy on a Ford 460. Very similar floorpkan, including rear dry bath with a TUB for our small daughter. We're currently selling our 42 diesel pusher and going back o something similar to this just a tad bigger. We loved that motor home.

What a cute little rv! I love it.

Excellent walkthrough as always. This is a timely review for me. I recently saw an ALP (Adventurer) 19 foot class c … exterior only, parked in a normal parking spot. The mfg is also a family/independent in BC Canada. It has wet bath and rear dinette convert to bed as well as a cabover bed. Both the Gulf Stream and Adventurer 19 have pluses/minuses for me … either would be great. The small Class C is as you say … a good alternative to Class B for a bit more room in a similar footprint. I have been dithering for 3-4 years in how/what to downsize from my 33 foot/2 slide Class A that is too large for how I want to travel now. Thanks Joe and Kait for reviewing this unit!

Rather have a more spacious shower with a wet bath....easy enough to use your towel when done to dry the toilet...makes for a cleaner bathroom anyway. It's easier to clean your feet while sitting on the toilet for balance and scrubbing the soles of your feet real good and avoiding a fall.

I have been looking for a 8-seater RV layout design for nearly 10 years now. Finally found it. The only change i would make is to have main door open into the washroom so that the hallway space is not wasted. Usually, US RVs are not wide enough. This is the same dimension of Traveller 4020 available in India which i am planning to convert. Thanks so much.

I love this small motorhome. It looks great if you don’t mind how small it is. How lacking in real storage space or additional space to add more batteries. And as long as you don’t mind that it isn’t a 4 season motorhome ; it works. But for $129,000 I’m can buy a pickup truck and an Incred-I-Camper which I’m also interested in. That way I have a 4 season camper and no need for a Toad. That’s what Incredible Tiny Homes of East Tennessee has designed as a prototype towable camper. It may need a few changes, like an emergency escape window , but WOW!, a towable camper for $40,000 with a a 100 gallon fresh water tank ,and a grey water tank and a lithium battery and solar package included with a dry bath with a composting toilet but it has the ability to put in either a standard RV toilet or a household toilet if you park it on a piece of property with water/sewer ,and the Morryde steps and a mini split and an incredible ,only seen on huge 5th wheels , human body sized under bed storage. I don’t know it even looking into a Gulfstream BT cruiser RV with very little storage and very little storage space, or a space to upgrade that one battery to two or more. I don’t know. I am hoping Randy Jones decides to mass produce the incred- i- camper ( As Randy calls it) because heck a truly 4 season camper that can actually be used as a tiny home if you just want to put it on a piece of property as well. Yeah! I don’t know . I wish you and Kate could go see the Incred-i-camper prototype and see if you two like it. And what if any changes you would make to it to make it a better camper. And no I am no way connected to Randy Jones or Incredible Tiny Homes of East Tennessee, but I am a fan of his KZread channel Incredible Tiny Homes and I wish you and Kate or other RVers would check this prototype camper out because it seems so versatile as a camper then a tiny home when someone finally doesn’t want to or can’t go on the road anymore, but has a piece of land or place they can set it up as a tiny home.

Incredible Tiny Homes that is.

The dry bath in that small a RV - instant winner. I've attempted to buy BT Cruisers (5210) for about ten years, they get snapped up fairly quickly. On the down side, the few I've went to see to buy were ROUGH. Owners USE THEM they do not sit idle for long with high mileage and deterioration of the cabin they want premium return on their investment. New? well, not anytime soon.

Our friends grabbed a used one that was cherry. It’s a very nice unit and upgraded the battery system with Lithium. That said, the new ones are selling in the 90s

Thanks for making this video. Very useful.

Love it, Small package and easy to handle. Be well

This is a nice rig

i love it, just a few things i would love to see in maybe a future model. i would want to just put the shower, toilet, and sink all in one as a wet bath to increase the amount of storage space and/or be able to increase the size of the kitchen. i hope there's a fridge option with more freezer space but i've been looking for a trailer/RV situation that has that size or bigger refrigerator. i don't know about anyone else, but i find the freezer more useful than the fridge.

Yes. Freezing and vacuum sealing pre made meals is so convenient for trips. There’s never enough freezer room in these things though.

I much prefer the dry bath over a B-van wet bath and without trying them it is hard to say, but at first glance, I think I like the opposing sofa beds.

I think we would enjoy the two beds as part timers but would want a single bed as full timers

Yes, we’re about done with RVing. We just got a new one in June, that was supposed to be delivered in February, and long story short it broke down, inside my RV garage (slide could not be retracted because of tilt-a-bed actuator failure). It caused us to have to cancel two trips that were to be about a month each, and numerous calls to RV parks to cancel, cancellation fees, etc. So, we think we are done. I’m a long time subscriber to your channel, and see the class B as a way to get out and adventure, with most likely fewer problems, and we would mostly stay in hotels, but have the van as an option if we can’t find a pup friendly hotel. In that case, she’ll sleep in the hotel, and I’d be in the “dog house” so to speak. We are still not sure if we’ll go that route, but we are so fed up with a certain RV manufacturer that we just want to largely “be done”. Alas, we are getting older, and naps along the road sometimes become necessary, filthy rest stops are just nasty, and we love having the pups with us, so maybe…. Anyway, thanks for your show and your reviews. Love watching, even if we finally decide to completely give it up.

That all makes sense and I think a basic van would serve you well. Particularly something you could run the A/C when parked for you and the pup. There are custom manufacturers out there who can do just that, here's a list you can look through: weretherussos.com/class-b-rv-manufacturers-list-camper-vans/

You had me at dry bath. And, I would like to see at least one covered max air fan with rain sensors.

The best floor plan I have ever seen for me.

Nice review. This is the type and size RV I prefer for one or two people plus a pet or two. You didn't mention the engine size options or the GCWR. One limiting factor for me is the modest towing capacity of 5000 pounds. A standard I use is I need something that can flat tow my off road pick up truck while the RV is at it's max GVWR. This RV's tow capacity has no extra margin of safety for me. The main reason though for not being interested is for me, a retiree, the prohibitive price. Last year I bought an clean older Chinook RV for a good price. It has the big block 460 which the previous owner recently had rebuilt and a remanufactured transmission installed. With a 10 grand or so budget I expect to spend upgrading the suspension and interior including the electronics from solar, lithium, energy efficient heating and cooling, a kick butt entertainment system, etc; I'll still be about 90 grand ahead of the cost of one of these new RVs. No matter how nice they are. Good luck on your future travels, I enjoy following along. Happy trails!

I had a Chinook with the V10 and two jacknife sofas and the whole time watching this I was comparing it to my Chinook. For 1/2 the $90k dealer price of this you can get a really nice used Chinook and not have to pay the crazy yearly plate fees. Currently I have a nice 2004.5 2500 Ram Cummins with a 2017 Lance 650 and I recently got 15.5 mpg across country towing a small trailer. So it’s hard to justify a change other than the wife would like a bigger bathroom and not have to pull over and go outside to get to the bathroom. So I’m keeping my eye out for a nice Chinook, their fiberglass body will last forever if kept out of the sun. And V10s are easily rebuildable. I should delete this post so others aren’t competing with me for Chinooks, but I can’t stop singing their praise, maybe Oliver Trailers will get the idea to get into this space.

Interesting rig and looks like it would be great for one or two people. We are on our second Chinook, and I too kept comparing this unit with my 2000 Chinook Concourse which is still running strong. While I am hoping the Chinook lasts as long as I do, I enjoy your reviews on new RVs. Thanks for a good, detailed walk through; very informative.

Our second choice behind a class B was a Lazy Daze 24 ft but now that's not an option, this looks like a good second choice. Like that it doesn't have a slide out (favorite feature). I would ditch the pedestal table, our LD class C came with one and we never use it and instead use folding tables. We put a deposit on a class B Transit over two years ago and the Transit order has been with Ford for about two years. Hopefully Ford decides that they want to deliver us a cargo van to start a build on. Wish the Gulf Stream had a real oven like was standard on the LD. I'm willing to give that up in a class B, but in a class C, the mentality changes. For the gas Onan generator, there isn't a low fuel cutoff switch. Manufacturers simply put the intake a third of the way up on the tank. I would delete the Onan generator if I could. You have to run them at least once a month hard. My Onan hasn't ran for years due having a period of sitting too long. Wish the manufacturer would give the option to substitute in a big battery bank. I had the same complaint with Lazy Daze. You hit on another negative, they have dealers, you can't buy directly from the builder.

Yeah it was too bad to hear about Lazy Daze. Aside from them, there are very few manufacturers who sell directly. I've worked on the Onan and it would be fairly easy to get yours going again. Most likely the carb is gummed up and just needs to be removed/cleaned. You should check out the Omnia Oven...it's a stovetop oven that we use to make a number of things. amzn.to/45JbMVg

Wrong. All way down

Very nice decor and dry bath is a bonus . Nice graphics . Cool little unit . If they had this unit 2 feet longer so we can get a decent closet built in there and pantry on the other side. It would be awesome or just add 2 feet for a huge closet and a larger refrigerator.
