Gulf Stream Ameri-Lite 269BH
Still in production. A used 2023 would run roughly $20,800.
dry weight 5,460 lb + fresh water (23 gal, full) 192 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.
Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 269BH's published weights held steady.
