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
~8,927 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 8,127 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 around9,920 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)10,080 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~1,340 lb (15% — high, eats payload)
Cargo capacity1,953 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS — 37 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 380FRS's published weights held steady.

FINDING ONE

Common — usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Gulf Stream is a volume manufacturer; 8-year production run. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.

THE READ

Special Edition front-bedroom / rear-bunk destination plan with a sliding patio door. Gulf Stream's own page showed the 36FRSG drawing under this code, so the layout detail is less certain than the weights.
