The 7.3L V8 on the Ford E350 chassis gives this little Class C more confidence on the road than its 24-foot footprint suggests. Owners routinely call it the "sports car of motorhomes." The slide-out opens things up considerably inside, and the tankless water heater is a genuinely nice touch at this size class. Gulf Stream wraps it all in smooth fiberglass laminated walls with a one-piece radius roof, and the 12V double-door refrigerator, 3-burner range with oven, and ducted ceiling A/C make it a fully functional rig rather than a compromised one. Options like a 200W solar system, power leveling jacks, and a 7,500 lb. hitch give you real flexibility in how you configure it.
Other class c motorhomes floor plans (around 24 ft 5 in, near $160,000), similar in size and price to the BT Cruiser 5230.
