Fleetwood 38B Class A - Diesel reviews

Water coming in at the sidewall of the long (passenger side) slide and the presence of rust. Water coming in the basement storage area, shorted out the slide motor and control box. Electrical issues with the inverter, batteries, several outlets. Ice maker hose has flooded the rig twice. We regret buying it, we snowbird down south and everytime we have to spend thousands for repairs that the extended warranty is supposed to cover and while home the rig is in the shop for numerous issues. $189,000 pluse a $30,000 cash down payment and we can’t even enjoy it.

The best RV I have ever owned. The quality is far beyond what you can buy from 2017 and newer. I have owned 3 RVs before this one, Class C, Tow behind, and 5th wheel tow behind. All models were newer than 2017. The 2012 Fleetwood Expeditions are built solid with thick walls constructed with metal frame, plywood panels and fiberglass outer shell. The roof is 1 piece fiberglass on top of 1/2 inch plywood around metal frames. I weigh 260 lbs and walk on my RV roof all the time with no issues, no deflection. Gas lines are copper pipes with flared fittings to last. All electrical wiring for 120 VAC is 12 AWG AND 14 AWG Romex, residential wiring. All Inverter connections are quick snap connections. Access panels located in specific areas to access plumbing, gas and electrical lines for easy access fir repairs/replacements. Original hot water heater and gas heaters still work and were recently serviced. I have driven this rig in northeast US, during heavy rain and snow storms, with no issues. Camped in 95F and 10F weather with no cooling or freezing issues. The rig is heavy, with Freightliner classy, built like a tank. The cummins diesel easily pulls my 10K car hauler trailer with 2022 Ram 1500 truck loaded. Show less

I've owned this RV since I bought it new in August, 2011. At first, the unit was plagued somewhat by the typical problems of anything that big, that new, with little things breaking (door openers, lifts, seals around the shower, etc). But the warranty covered fixing everything and after a short time the unit not only ran like a top but held up extremely well under normal usage. We love this RV, and wanted to take it on a continental wide trip, but things have transpired that make that an impossible dream. Show less

My wife and I enjoy this coach. Although we are considering another floor plan if you need to sleep 6 this is the coach for you. The quality is very good although minor defects have been observed. Spring pushing out on the side of the sofa and cracked tile in rear hallway. Short in rear camera difficult to track down and fix. Still have not figured out how to have volume on the GPS without volume on the radio. Small piece of exterior trim fell off slide corner while driving. Fleetwood was very quick to paint to match and replace at dealer (AAA rating for service at dealer in Richmond, Va). Drivability is excellent although I would prefer less road noise at higher speeds. Towing the dolly with car handles very well and has pulled the car around barriers to my surprise when in a very tight spot! We currently have approximately 7500 miles on her and so far only minor things needing adjustment or repair. Fuel usage is IMO better than what would be expected (360hp). Overall I would highly recommend Fleetwood for purchase. Show less
