Gulf Stream RV Lemon Law FAQs
Does the Federal Lemon Law cover all of my Gulf Stream
RV or just the chassis and drive line?
It covers everything—regardless of who gives the warranty
on what part of it. If anyone gave a warranty, then they can
be held liable for breaching their warranty under the Federal
RV Lemon Law!
Are there any other laws that can help me get rid of
my lemon Gulf Stream?
You bet. Every state has its own Lemon law, in addition to the
Federal Lemon Law, and it might also cover your RV. Most of the
state Lemon laws will cover all of your Rv except for the living
and eating areas and equipment. In addition, every state has
an Unfair and Deceptive Acts law and a Commercial Code law that
may give you even more rights!
What is a Gulf Stream "lemon RV"?
It's a Gulf Stream RV that is covered by a warranty and that
has one or more problems that "substantially impair the
use, value or safety of the vehicle" to you and which the
dealer has not fixed within a reasonable number of chances (at
least 2 repair attempts for the same defect) or a reasonable
amount of time.

What does "reasonable" mean?
It depends on the problem. Some Gulf Stream defects should be
fixed on the very first attempt but others might be more difficult
and take two or three tries. If the problem with your Gulf Stream
motorhome does not get fixed fast enough or soon enough, then
you can reach a point where you lose your confidence in the warranty
or the ability of the Gulf Stream dealer or the factory itself
to live up to the Gulf Stream warranty. When that happens, you
can consider your warranty breached! What does that mean? You’ve
got a lemon.
Gulf Stream wants to give me an extended warranty instead
of replacing my RV or buying it back. What happens if I accept
it?
You probably will lose all your RV Lemon Law rights, so be very
sure that you can live with the result. Extending the warranty
is a very cheap way out for Gulf Stream. An extended warranty
usually amounts to nothing more a promise that Gulf Stream will
try "one more time" when more things go wrong again.
Are you sure that is what you want? You better be because if
you take it, then that may be all you ever get — and you
may be giving up all your legal rights in the process. That’s
risky business.
Should I let Gulf Stream work on my RV again?
Probably not without talking to one of our experienced RV Lemon
Law Lawyers first. If Gulf Stream works on it, later on they
may tell you that it's too late for you to do anything about
it because you let them work on it --- so be careful!
I think my used Gulf Stream RV was bought back once
by Gulf Stream and the dealer did not tell me when I bought
it. Should I be worried?
Yes. Many people believe that "once a Lemon, always a Lemon" and
they just won't pay much for a "buyback" lemon RV.
The market value of a lemon just isn't the same as an RV that
has always run right, no matter what the brand. Contact us (call

you find out if you used RV was bought back under the lemon law
earlier in its ownership history.
I have a lemon Gulf Stream RV and they want to replace
it but I just want my money back. Do I have to take another
Gulf Stream vehicle from them?
No. You are the one who gets to decide what you want to do under
the Federal Lemon Law. It is much cheaper for them to replace
a lemon Gulf Stream RV than it is to buy it back, because of
the huge price markups that Gulf Stream (and their dealer) make
when they sell it. Cheap for them may end up being cheap for
you too and that may not be better for you!
Can I recover my attorney fees in a Federal Rv Lemon
Law case?
In a word - YES! That is one of the best things about the lemon
law!

manufacturer that we have not tackled at one time or another.
We know them and they know about us. Experience matters.
This web site is not related to, affiliated with, sponsored
by, or have anything to do with Gulf Stream Coach, Inc., or any

a specific Rv manufacturer or Rv dealer, you can go to their
web site. We don’t do any work for any Rv manufacturers
or dealers at all. That’s our promise to you.
Not all motorhome manufacturing companies or motorhome dealers

here. If you’ve got a lemon Gulf Stream motorhome, or any
other brand, we are here to help you get your money back. Because
life is too short to put up with a lemon motorhome. And life
is too short to put up with being ripped off by an Rv dealer
too.
