1999 Fleetwood reviews

This is a great motorhome. I wish my wife and I could afford it. Took it on a test ride, and it is absolutely in perfect working order. It appears that everything works appropriately. Thanks for the hospitality. Show less

I bought a 1999 fleetwood bounder brand new. It is absolutely the best motorhome on the market. I have put 146,000 miles on it with very few problems, mostly electrical. I highly recommend this brand motor home to anyone. It has a 5.9 diesel engine; allison transmission and a 7.5 Onan diesel generator. Show less

Well built motorhome. Comfortable and spacious. Everything has worked very well and has had minimal problems throughout the years. The Cummins diesel has been good without having to really replace anything for 18 years and even at that time everything was working properly but having a belt and pulley break, it was time to replace all the items while the technician was in there. Small price to pay for that many years of use. I’d recommend a diesel pusher, it’s great on gas and we’ve gone 5 days running the generator and never skipped a beat with plenty of gas left when ready to leave. The propane tank lasts a very long time and we have never ran out. Definitely a durable motorhome. Show less

This rig has been great for my wife and I. We really enjoy everything about it! It is completely self contained and we can hit the road for a month or just go to the beach for the weekend. Plenty of room for guests and still not too big for some campgrounds. We love it but we are no longer using it much so its time for a new owner! Show less

This 1999 36 foot Fleetwood Discovery Motorhome is absolutely beautiful inside and out. Diesel Powered, Generator, Completely Self Contained, Full size Shower, Washer & Dryer, Queen Size Bed with almost new mattress located in the back of the bus. Pullout Couch, Living Room Slide-out, Kitchen, Stovetop, Convection plus Microwave Oven. Runs And Drives Great!!! This is a one of a kind rig that has been very well maintained. Complete repaint at the factory 7 yrs ago and a complete upgrade to the interior including removing all carpets for hard wood floors, replacing all hardware on cabinetry and lighting. All awnings are in great shape. It is very rare to find an older motorhome in this condition all the way around!!! Show less

It was great at first but after years of towing it from Campground to Campground all the seals started breaking loose and I got water damage over 50% of the vehicle everything from the molding at the floor line down has to be replaced! both slides are leaking, the front is leaking, and all along the top above the living room slide. all Listed areas are Water soaked and are delaminating! Door frames are missing every other screw (from the factory) lots of factory defects looks like they were in a hurry when they built this thing. Show less

We purchased our coach from the previous owner directly. It was 17 years old, had a little wear and tear, but a solid motor home with a great drive train. We chose the diesel pusher over gas since the maintenance of the older gas models were often more problematic than the diesel. The previous owner was an OTR truck driver which assured of that decision and gave us confidence in his maintenance. The coach itself was a "high end" model back in the day. Even with the age, it was still as nice (and better) than most of the newer units. The single slide out offered extra room in the living area without the complications of multiple slides. And when the slide is in, the coach floor plan still has lots of space to move around. This is important if you spend anytime boondocking at a Walmart where you should not put out a slide. We reconfigured our TV and worked in the modern, large flatscreen. Big improvement. We also replaced the floor throughout since the old was stained and a few cracked tile. If you have the original flooring and mirror walls, the unit might appear a little "dated" and ready for sprucing up. Basement storage is more than adequate. It seems some of the newer units have a little more space underneath, but there are trade outs. Our dual furnaces are in one of the bays all partitioned off in the basement. I have seen some newer coaches with them on the floor taking up cabinet space, and then hard to access in case of repairs. Ours was serviced by opening a bay door. Sweet. At first we thought it should have had a tub in the bath rather than the corner shower. In hindsight the shower is a better choice since it is easier to be frugal with water. We can boondock for about a week without dumping tanks. I should mention the private toilet room. Who would enjoy using the commode in the hallway? We love our coach and have enjoyed it tremendously. It has been a great vehicle to travel and visit. Let's go glamping! Show less

Easy to drive. My family of 6 plus 2 dogs fit comfortably and had many fun vacations over the years. We towed ATV's and stayed in the desert, went to the Grand Canyon and Sequoia National Forest, Kern River and many road trips with no preset destination. Show less

The Bonder is a great entry level motorhome. This is my second one and I hope to have a newer Bounder soon. Im very happy with Fleetwood customer service, I can get anything my rv need . I have done some suspension improvenent and my Bounder ride nice. Show less

We have put over 40,000 miles on it with no problems.we pull a 18ft trailer with two quads and a razor in it plus tools.been to Arizona several times as well as st. Anthony in idaho and to ore sand dunes many times as well as yellow stone. Hoi g up the steep grades I go 35mph at 3000 rpm,s and have never had a heating problem.we have the banks system on it .going across Idaho I got 12 miles a gallon at believe it or not 70 mph.it is a pleasure to drive and of course there are many extra,s on it. I have had thoughts of getting a revolution and every time I get behind the wheel of our coach I'm happy with it.have had no trouble with the coach at all.i have access to a mechanic shop so it gets serviced on a regular schedule.
