Does anyone know the towing capacity of a 2005 Gulf Stream B TOURING CRUISER 5211 with the chevy V8 option? According to the archive brochures on their website the chevy V8 option increases the GVWR to 12,300 from the standard V10 which has a GVWR of 10,700 lbs. The current owner thinks the towing capacity is 5k, but I saw a youtube video walk through by an RV dealer who said it was 3,500 lb but that was w/ the Ford V-10. Anyone? Thanks.

I spoke with Gulf Stream and she is built on a 3500 1 Ton GM Chasis with a 6.0 L V8. The GM specs show 10-14 K GVWR whereas GS advertised 12,300 for with the GM option. According to the GS rep, the GS limited the towing capacity to 3,500 lbs. So the question remains on how this coach will do towing. Who tows with their BT Cruiser and how does she do?
