2004 Fleetwood Southwind reviews

I have enjoyed it for years without issue. Im technically the second owner ..original owner passed away and i purchased from the couple that inherited it..they had no place to store it & were not camper folks. 15 years old& like new all works even roof A.C. . Dometic3way fridge Carrier a.c.,3burnerStove,nice sink&hot Water tank,furnace will easily keep me warm on winter trips i was planning on pulling out the mr.buddy but wasnt needed. my cabinets except a scuff on one still look new. I knew about condesation since the 70,s from tent and popup camping and its a small hassle to deal with for the unbeatable airflow i get. about 75% of popup material is widows front,sides,that unzip,upper back door is screen when panel is off... the side glass widows on lower part have screens and small window underneath cabover bed opens with screen . If in shade with all that ventilation 85 degrees isnt a problem. I prefer primitive camping in nature away from the masses in a RV park. I dont understand why anyone would store their RV without making sure it was dry and weather proofed. Last few years have went looking at 4 season hard sided truck campers...when inside its like torture!! they just DO NOT put big enoungh windows or enough to get decent airflow..not gonna run fantastic fans and a.c. ..i want to hear nature.I have full size door and love it.

Home away from home. Super clean for its age and very low mileage. Sleeps 6 comfortably plus room on the floor for more. The shower is roomy and the hot water heater works great. Microwave and oven plus 3 burner stove in the kitchen. A great family motorhome! Show less

Great layout, clean, easy to drive. Has a great back up camera and electronic level system. Plenty of room in the shower. Sleeps 6 comfortably. It also has a good size kitchen area that makes it easy to serve meals. Show less

Love the electric awning which automatically goes in when too much wind, the electric steps and especially the electric leveling jacks.We had a 5th wheel before this class A which had none of these features. My husband has a bad back so these features make the trips easy. We also love the walk-around bed and changed the mattress to a Sleep Number. Do wish there was a little more counter space in the kitchen as I love to cook but I think that's a complaint of most all RV owners. The bathroom has adequate space, one can be in the shower and another person at the sink. Dinette is very comfortable and can see the overhead tv while sitting. We would definitely buy another Southwind as the quality of cupboards (solid wood), counters (Corian)and furnishings is top-notch. Great visibility while driving. Show less

Well kept RV. Nice wood floors and solid surface countertops. With the Oman generator you can boondock. Plenty of power with the 454 and the Allison transmission. Plenty of space with the two slides. Show less

This has been the best motorhome I've owned. We travel with folks who have diesels. We out perform them all. With the Banks PowerPac it has more than enough power. Show less

Great floor plan with 3 slides, much cheaper to operate than diesel 8 - 10 mpg @ 65 mph. 2 slides in living area open up wide to give very roomy feeling. Show less

Terrific Show less

Very clean with comfortable furniture and soothing colors. Lots of room for storage, inside and out. Drives like a dream, easy to maneuver into the RV space. Easy setup and everything operates perfectly! Like a home-away-from-home on wheels! Show less
