Fleetwood BOUNDER 35K reviews

My husband and I bought a 2024 Fleetwood 35K Bounder. Worst decision ever. The dash shakes so badly that you can even talk to each other. The screws are breaking off and falling out. The vent leaked in the bathroom. The mirrors don’t adjust correctly. The motor sounds like it is going blowup. So so loud. The wipers fell down while going down the road. The bedroom wall bows out. Not secure. Pros would be the living arrangement. Very doable for a family but with everything else that has gone wrong, that is just not enough. I can’t believe anyone buys a Bounder if they are like this one. And we bought it from Motor Home Specialist in Alvarado Texas and that has been a disaster too. We tried to get them to fix everything and even though the motorhome is under a year old and under factory warranty, it still cost us $2000 since everything was basically our fault. Their answer to the dash’s shaking was Velcro!!!!!!!! lol!! I have never been so disappointed in such a large purchase in my life. We will take a loss on this piece of junk and upgrade to a Tiffin or Entegra diesel for sure. Should have done that first but hind sight is 20-20. If you think you want a diesel, wait until you get one. And don’t ever buy from motorhome specialists in Alvarado Texas and/ or buy a piece of junk gas burner like this Bounder. Show less

This is an amazing motorhome; We are the second owner and over the last 4 years towing a Jeep it has performed excellently. Not any issues with coach or chassis. One of the best floorplans Bounder offers for couples and a couple of children, sleep 6 comfortably. has every amenity available in a gas coach from that year. Show less

We purchased our RV one year ago . We are very happy with the quality of the RV. Extremely minor issues that were addressed quickly by the dealership. The Fleetwood Bounder 35 K is very comfortable to drive. Exterior paint is very beautiful. Interior cabinets are very solid and provide plenty of storage. The half bath is great when you have guests traveling with you. Basement compartments provide lots of storage and is heated. We highly recommend this RV. Show less

With a recession on the horizon in 2023, people returning to work instead of working remotely and that COVID is under control, the RV market is now over priced in decline as shown by many recent articles such as these below. In addition that the NADA guide is very inflated and does not reflect the true market valuation based on: supply/demand, economic climate, rising interest rates and high fuel prices to name a few. Major RV distributors throughout the US will only pay less than 65% of what the asking price from a private seller. Bottom is, do your homework! https://www.barrons.com/visual-stories/rv-sales-thor-winnebago-forest-river-01665437945 https://www.rvtravel.com/motorhome-prices-drop-13-month-wholesale-survey-rvt-1072b/ https://www.rvtravel.com/rv-sales-head-downward-whats-future-hold-rvt-1074b/ https://www.rvtravel.com/preowned-rv-prices-continue-dive-heading-back-normal-territory-rvt-1081b/ Show less

We did a lot of research prior to buying and learned that this is one of the best (few) RVs that were built well enough for full-time living/travel. This motorhome is very durable and during our 4 years of ownership we had few problems. Our main complaint with full-timing in it is the Vaccuflush system pump. We had to change it out twice (we think because of constant use). We love the floor plan of 1.5 bath and especially the extra large shower with bench. We also have a washer/dryer combo. All the conveniences of home while on the road. Unfortunately the Flex-Steele couch and chairs peeled. We contacted Fleetwood and FlexSteele and both said that the problem was common in units built between 2015 and 2017 and there was nothing they were willing to do about it. We ended up replacing the couch ourselves, but not the chairs (too difficult and expensive). Overall, we love the motorhome. Our travels in it were comfortable. It drives smooth and towing our car 4 down was easy. This motorhome is exceptional. Show less

Great living space. Ample storage. Drives easily on all roads. Back up camera system is awesome! We love our Bounder! The outdoor TV and stereo are enjoyable to watch football and nascar. The tanks are easily accessible and make tear down a breeze. Show less

Great floor plan! The sectional “L shaped” sofa is perfect for snuggling up after a day on the road. And has a fireplace, for those chilly evenings. We had a wonderful trip taking this rig all the way to California and then back by Route 66! Bucket list item: Check! With everything automatic (steps, awning, leveling gear, DISH TV) arriving at the next campground on the route was a breeze! Snug and secure, even when the neighbors were less than perfect. The Ford V10 chassis and drive train is one of the best on the road today. We could not have found a better rig, when we took off on our post-retirement adventure! Show less

Very cheaply made. Washer is in crooked the sewer line is crooked. Trim is coming off the wall. Trim on the dash is coming up. Very disappointed in the workmanship. I wish we never bought it. 2021 Fleetwood Bounder 35k. Show less

We love this floorplan and the King size bed is a huge asset! It has a washer/dryer combo and that extra half bath is so nice, especially if you have visitors. We have added some steering and sway bars to make it more drivable. It's the perfect size for full time living. Lots of storage compartments inside and out. We have not had any major issues. Just had to get a new battery. Show less
