Cradle of Strength

 

The super strength truss system is unmatched in the class C industry. The structural sub-floor foundation begins by welding a network of integrated steel trusses to the chassis rail. Specifically designed to distribute and transfer the tremendous forces from the coach to the chassis rail these trusses are individually tested to withstand 6,000 pounds each.

When the chassis is stretched, Gulf Stream stands alone in the industry by using a full (6" on LE) or (8" on Super C) channel extension versus the traditional 4" or less. This practice adds to the strength of the foundation and offers peace of mind that towing is safe on an extension that is true to the chassis.
