Gulf Stream BTouring Cruiser RVs For Sale

Gulf Stream BTouring Cruiser Class C motorhomes for sale at Motor Home Specialist, the #1 Volume Selling Motor Home Dealer in the World and the #1 Gulf Stream RV dealer in the country.

The BTouring Cruiser (also called the BT Cruiser) is Gulf Stream's compact, easy-to-drive Class C. It's built around a 96-inch-wide low-profile body that handles two-lane roads, city streets, and tight campsites where a full-size Class C or Class A would struggle. It's aimed at traveling couples who want a coach they can drive as much as they camp in. Retirees stepping up from a Class B and weekend campers who prefer a smaller Class C footprint also fit the profile. Ten floor plans across Ford and Chevrolet chassis options give buyers a wide range of layout and use-case choice.
