Gulf Stream to Show Lightweight Visa Trailer
November 27, 2009 by RV Business 3 Comments
Gulf Stream Coach will unveil the all new Visa lightweight travel trailer at the 47th Annual National RV trade Show Dec. 1-3 in Louisville, Ky. The 23-foot model has a dry weight of 2,586 pounds. Gulf Stream’s goal was to provide amenities like walk-around queen beds and full baths for the 3,500-pound tow vehicle, according to a news release. Visa also utilizes state-of-the-art composites inside and outside. Its unique profile decreases wind drag, while providing good interior head room.

It will be interesting to see where this particular product lands between the Heartland MPG and the Forest River R-pod. The size and weight are a little higher, taking it out of the small tow vehicle range but still in the small SUV market.
According to the prices on the RV Wholesale web site – this is coming in at around 15k … for what all it includes it makes it a slightly better buy than the r-pod or MPG. I hear they are about to release a 23ft model/floorplan. http://www.wholesalervclub.com/gulf-stream-visa
Looked at it, liked it, and may very well buy the RSD. Am a little wary about buying something in its first model year, though. Can’t tell what kinds of issues may crop up, with this being a brand new product.
