Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Gulf stream rv manifactorying. built the class c rv on ford e-350 cut a way chassis. the ford chassis manual states that it is supplied w/ 2 hazard and turn lights on front and 2 on the back (total of 4 lights) and a flasher for 2 bulb and 4 bulb max flasher #sf-602 this is the only flasher that ford has. gulf stream added another turn/ hazard bulb on each side on rear. plus two trailor lights. the ford reference manuel page 19 table h states that if more lights are added they are to change the turn signal flasher. with one having the correct lamp rareing. gulf stream didn't do this they left the one that ford put on at the factory. when you turn the hazard flasher light on it over loads the flasher out ($38.00 ea) then you don't have flashers. i have burnt out 2 so far. i have contacted gulf stream rv about this problem and they give me the run around on this. they said i am the only one that has this problem. only the 1996 ford e-350 uses this flasher. i can't find another one any where that will work in the e-350. ford told me that is the only flasher that will work and that it is a gulf stream problem and they deny the problem. this affects all 1996 ford e350 vans. dt
