WHAT ONE COSTS
—price not published

The maker never published an MSRP for this floorplan. Unknown is not cheap — treat any asking price against comparable models, not against zero.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~6,772 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 5,680 lb + fresh water (35 gal, full) 292 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

You want a tow rating around7,525 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)9,550 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~894 lb (13%)
Cargo capacity3,870 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS — 56 OF 95

Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin — per model year, because the 276BHS's published weights changed mid-run.

FINDING ONE

Common — usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Gulf Stream is a volume manufacturer; 11-year production run; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.

THE READ

The classic single-slide bunkhouse: rear double-over-double bunks, front queen, walk-in closet/pantry.
