I have owned three class A's previously and with my wife's health problem, traveling is not what it once was. It has not been advertised yet and will let it go very reasonable.

Re: 2004 Gulf Stream Endura W6378EH Reply #3 – April 27, 2010, 05:30:26 am Yahoo Message Number: 4361Welcome to Kodiak Chassis Class C Motorhomes.The Kodiak Chassis suspension has not changed since it was introduced in2003. Some manufacturers have added a few upgrades and figure out thathey were building some models on the wrong weight chassis/rear axle loadsprings and tires.I have looked at the 6378 MH with a diesel engine. Was impressed withits handling. It is built on the 15,000 rear axle chassis. In 2005 GulfStream started using the STABIL-RIDESuspension System. This made a big difference in handling of the Enduraand other Super C''s. I upgraded mine with the parts I purchased fromMcCormick Motors.I am not sure the 2005 got the frame upgrade that 2006 and later modelsgot. This is above the rear axle area and supports the floor in bathroomarea. Not a hard fix if it does not have it. You will see pictures ofthis fix in my photos.I uploaded some Gulf Stream brochures in the files section. Ask morequestions. Will be glad to answer them.BestRon Hall, "tom" wrote:QuoteI am trading off my jayflight and getting a class c and ive found a 04Gulf Stream Endura W6378EH and was hoping someone might be willing togive some advice on this.

Re: 2004 Gulf Stream Endura W6378EH Reply #5 – April 27, 2010, 01:57:20 pm Yahoo Message Number: 4369I have a 2008 Gulfstream Conquest 6341 with gas engine, 5500 Kodiak, with the STABILI-RIDE, and am a fairly new member here.Just completed a 1500 mile trip from South Carolina to Colorado, no toad this trip. 875 miles of trip was yesterday.Power was good, handling/ride was good.Had severe headwinds and crosswinds across Nebraska; mileage took a real hit.Once I drove out of the winds, MH made the last steady climb of 1500 ft of elevation with no speed reduction (70-75 mph) and no shifting.I am still considering getting air bags installed.Ron, others: May I please get recommendations for air bags; make, model and any websites with good pricing?I'm sorry if this info is already posted---am stilling getting familiar with the online files.Some of the concrete highways out my way are quite broken up and rough--even at greatly reduced speeds (50-55 mph).Am thinking that riding on air will smooth out the ride and be better for the MH & passengers.Am open to other recommendations/tips.Thanks, Todd Borger Quote Selected
