01 What makes it unique
Gulf Stream lists the Ameri-Lite 241RB at 4,031 lb dry, a net carrying capacity of 3,487 lb and a tongue weight of 478 lb. It prints no GVWR for it.
It is 27' 4" long and 9' 10" high. Gulf Stream prints no tank capacity for it.
Among the 34 Ameri-Lite floorplans Gulf Stream’s Ameri-Lite model pages on gulfstreamcoach.com (no model year stated) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 17 from the lightest, in a range from 2,630 lb (Ameri-Lite 134BH) to 6,320 lb (Ameri-Lite 292RBH). Every figure in that comparison is Gulf Stream’s, read from the same set of model pages.
Every number on this page was read on 6 Nov 2026 from Gulf Stream’s own Ameri-Lite model pages on gulfstreamcoach.com (no model year stated) for the Ameri-Lite 241RB, which names no model year; the figures are shown as the maker published them, and no year is claimed for them.
How the 241RB differs from the other 33 Ameri-Lite floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

- Length, 27 ft 4 in: thirteenth-longest of 34, between the 248BH (26 ft 7 in) and the 236RL and 257RB (28 ft 1 in).
- Tongue weight, 478 lb: fourteenth-lightest of 34, between the 16RD (430 lb) and the 15TH (480 lb).
- Dry weight, 4,031 lb: seventeenth-lightest of 34, between the 192DS (3,940 lb) and the 22RSD (4,170 lb).

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 8 recall campaigns and 5 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the Ameri-Lite line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).
Too few reports to show a pattern. 5 complaints have been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. They cover latches/locks/linkages, structure, suspension and wheels.
Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Ameri-Lite line page.
