2004 Fleetwood Class A - Diesel reviews

WE HAVE OWNED THIS RV FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. WE TRAVELED TO SEVERAL LOCAL CAMPGROUNDS AND ALSO TO GETTYSBURG WITH FRIENDS. THE TRIPS WERE ALL VERY SMOOTH RIDING GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE LUNCH WHILE IN TRANSIT AND ALSO MOVE AROUND THE COACH COMFORTABLY USING THE RESTROOM AND ALSO LAYING ON THE SOFA'S AND READING. OUR FRIENDS ENJOYED SLEEPING ON THE SOFA SLEEPER WHICH THEY FOUND COMFORTABLE AND PRIVATE. BACKING INTO THE SITES WAS EASY AND ALL THE EQUIPEMENT WORKED WITHOUT INCIDENT. OUR AWNING PROVIDED MUCH NEEDED SHADE DURING THE WARMER WEATHER. MY HUSBAND HAS HAD SOME MEDICAL CONDITIONS WHICH PROMPTED US SELLING THIS COACH OR WE WOULD NOT BE PARTING WITH IT. IT HAS BEEN A GREAT VEHICLE FOR TRAVELING. Show less

My favorite trip in this RV was to Gettysburg in the fall . The drive was awesome. Beautiful sights on the way. This RV always drove very smoothly. There was no slowing down up the inclines and plenty of room to walk back to the bathroom when traveling. I could also get up and prepare a sandwich for lunch while traveling or put together a plate without having to stop. Was very comfortable and could read easily at night with the overhead lights. This is the perfect vehicle for a small family who enjoys the outdoors and all the comforts of home. Show less

We were fortunate enough to take an extended trip in our RV which saw us driving across Canada, then down into the eastern US and across the southern US to the California coast then home again. This saw us on the road and living in the unit for almost a year. During this trip we towed a 16' cargo trailer with good success. The RV towed it without missing a beat, including going through the rookie mountains. Through the course of this trip the inevidable issues occurred within the coach which had to be dealt with so needless to say, all the bugs got ironed out. The chassis was excellent throughout with no issues at all. During the duration of this trip I added a total of 2 quarts of motor oil. No other running gear issues occurred whatsoever. All in all we were very pleased. Show less

This unit has been really good for us for a long time and have great memories of the time that we spent traveling and wow does it run awesome, it will pull the hills so good you would shocked. The fuel mileage is also very good for a 40' coach. The cabinets and the basement have lots of room. Show less

Multiple problems One, cabinets were separating from outer wall when contacted Fleetwood they said no good fix. Two, windows fogging up to the point you cannot see rear view outside mirror very unsafe. When contacted Fleetwood the answer was we did not make the windows. Three, bad refrigerator causes fires mine leaked, their answer we do not make the refrigerators. Absolutely no help from Fleetwood at anytime. It is a 2004 but only has 32k miles Show less

We have owned several motor homes and this is one of the higher quality homes models. Solid wood cabinets, quality faucets, solid countertops, etc. It has a great floor plan. We would absolutely buy this model again. Show less

As full timers we enjoyed the Bounder as our home while enjoying the work camper experience. With the latest tiny house craze the Boulder offered all the comforts of home. We lived in temps between 10 below to 100 plus and stayed comfy. The. Livability and the ability to travel allowed my wife and I to see many areas of the US and meet many wonderful people we may never had without it. Ours came with a full entertainment system that allowed us to radio, DVDs player, cable and satellite for those rainy days when we preferred to stay in. All in all it is a wonderful Motorhome.

Very Family Friendly! Great times had by all! Tons of storage, easy to drive-even for the ladies! a/c works great even here in the hot desert. Would buy this brand/model again. Not too fancy, but all the necessities, ready to go. Show less

Although we rented this unit thinking we should "try before we buy" we did spend a ton of time in it. We drove this beauty from Raleigh, NC to Palmdale, CA and back over Christmas - a total of 5500 miles in 16 days. We were treated to some pretty nice days and dry weather while driving out, but ran into some winter conditions on I-20 between Pecos, TX and Dallas. Temps in El Paso the night before dropped down to the upper teens and meant that the furnace would have to keep up with the cold air and winds that night. No problem with the Revo - the furnace was set to 65 degrees and kicked on and off every 15 to 18 minutes. Never a chill in the air!! Aside from the Norcold fridge not working at all when we picked up the rig, all else was pretty trouble-free. The Camping World dealer in Columbia, SC did a splendid job getting the fridge problem worked out - put his finger on the issue right away and recommended a course of action for the balance of the trip. Many rigs suffer from the "shakes" and the Revo was no different - as we put our "home on wheels" through minor earthquakes for the trip! Numerous small items had fallen apart due to the bumps and bounces of the roads particularly bad in Louisiana - avoid them if at all possible. We had to go that southern route as the Northern I-40 corridor was snowy and questionable at best. I was very pleased with the 350hp Cummins power plant turbo diesel. The performance was surprisingly good. Also we averaged about 8.2 mpg with a FULL LOAD of people and stuff, but I kept it at 60 to 65 mph. My son kept it at 70 to 75 mph most of the time and was rewarded with 7.23 mpg's! That's a considerable difference! My confidence with Fleetwood is bolstered from what a friend had told me - said to stay away from F'wood, get a Tiffen unit - much better quality and service. From what I saw in over 5,000 miles of driving, there could not have been much difference between the two. Other than price!!! At this point, the cons would be limited to some onboard items not working - none of the tank capacity gauges worked so we had to guess; and the TV Satellite receiver never did pull in channels (my errors or system issues??). The numerous items falling off/apart enroute due to bumps I would attribute to poor roads and not poor quality although to make stuff more robust in these things would add considerable cost. And anyway, I enjoy fiddling with them and fixing stuff!! :) Next up, try to figure out which one to buy - retirement first!! Show less

We've lived full time in this RV for over 9 years. Except for window seals, it has been mostly above average. No mechanical problems & we travel often. Show less
