Fleetwood Bounder Diesel Reviews on RV Insider (18)
Avg. Rating

Owned a Fleetwood Bounder Diesel for almost 10 years. Purchased to tour lower 48 United states. Very few issues after over 40,000 miles of travel. Great unit for the money. Many options included on Bounder models that cost more on others.

Have had this coach for 10 years and still going strong. Had some normal RV issues, but overall it's extremely reliable and practical. A lot of comments on forums about the Freightliner XC chassis ride quality. I have figured it out. I am running Toyo's set to their spec pressure, not 110 PSI, I run 85 PSI in the front, huge change in ride quality. Get your coach weighed and pull the tire chart for your tires you might be surprised. Added Tru Center steering control, added rear sway bar, added an updated bellcrank, changed the shocks and added the comfort ride air control values on all four air bags. Ride quality is night and day, goes down the road straight and true. I have put about 30k miles on this coach and hasn't missed a beat. The HP is fine for the power to weight ratio, can keep up with traffic in the mountains towing a mini van and still gets 10 MPG if you run around 60 MPH. Can't beat it.

No experience with this Rv just looking how solid is this unit has high mileage is this a one owner who make this Rv unity is is battery in unit is old is this three slides out do you take trade in tell me how loan work

2005 diesel bounder great floor model 38N good power on 300 Cat turbo. Handles great over the road solid cabinets and flooring .good tech support with fleetwood No major problems since we purchased it.

Best RV that I owns reliable simple comftable Build strong for meny years of use As all the nesesery fitcher you need in a RV like big he’s tank 90 gallon water tank, lots of storage, very quite generator . Highly recommended

Lots of storage so you can leave it loaded for the next trip. Comfortable to drive with a tow vehicle. Heating and A/C insure comfort when needed. 100 gal fresh water tank and 50 gal each waste tanks allow days of comfortable dry camping with 7.5 KW diesel generator.

We lived in our RV for 14 months and put over 50k miles on it. Minus any preventive maintenance we had one fix. Held up great in cold and hot. Drives great if you know how to do wide turns and it's not a sports car! We were very pleased with the livability, resiliency, and durability of this RV.

Well it's got to be easy to drive I'm 76 and started driving it at 74. Of course my husband wheeled it around like my Scion. I love the no carpet it makes cleaning the floors quicker and the two door frig great.

This motorhome is one of the best motorhomes we have owned and we have owned 8 since 1971 we have had very little trouble with this motorhome we have kept it serviced regularly and it is still a very good coach with all 4 slide out it is very roomy and a person could live in it if they wanted to when we are not using the coach we keep it garaged at our home Jesse Bates

This rv has been really good we have had very little problems in 8 Yrs. it is very roomy with all the slide out the reason we are selling we don't use it much any more and it sits in our garage most of the time it is a good coach for the money we have had 9 motorhomes since 1971 and the first Diesel since 1987 and you can pay a lot of money for other motorhomes that aren't any better

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.

This motor home is perfectly suited for the RV enthusiast whether for long and short trips or for full timing it!

In 2004, we purchased this motorhome used. It only had 6,000 miles on it and we were the second owners. It is not what I call a luxury coach but, it is a practical coach with an attractive interior. The solidly built cabinets are light oak stained which doesn't show dust. The floor plan is very livable. There is ample storage inside and out. The mileage averaged between 9.5 to 10 mpg, fully loaded and pulling a tow car. Never a problem driving in mountains. It served us well for 10 years and it's still going but, the human driver is not.

Very good. Don’t like the stick on stripes.

Overall this a great coach, however I do have to say the ride is that similar to a school bus. After owning two bus conversions MCI & Prevost I do miss the ride of the large heavier bus/motor-homes, but the expense trade off is worth the more stiff ride.
