Our 2016 Fleetwood Discovery 40G has been an outstanding motorhome for our family, offering both comfort and reliability. We’ve taken it around the US for the past year, and it has consistently provided a smooth and enjoyable experience. From the moment we stepped inside, the Discovery 40G made us feel at home. The spacious living area is perfect for our family, with ample room for everyone to relax. The seating is not only stylish but incredibly comfortable, and the layout allows for a great flow of space—whether we're lounging in the living area, preparing meals in the fully equipped kitchen, or winding down in the master suite. The large windows bring in plenty of natural light and offer amazing views while traveling, making long drives more pleasant. Plus, the adjustable seating and high-quality mattresses have ensured restful nights, making us feel as though we’re staying in a luxury hotel on wheels. What truly sets the 40G apart is its reliability. We’ve traveled far and wide in this coach, and it has handled everything with ease. The powerful diesel engine has plenty of power for both the open road and any inclines, while the smooth ride and stability of the chassis make driving and parking stress-free. We have also towed our Honda CRV without issue. The coach is so powerful, you can't even feel the car back there. The built-in technology, including the navigation system and backup camera, has always performed flawlessly, and maintenance has been minimal. The coach has proven to be durable, and we’ve never had any significant issues, making it a true “set it and forget it” experience. The 2016 Fleetwood Discovery 40G comes packed with excellent features that elevate the RV experience. The outdoor entertainment area with a large awning has been perfect for family gatherings, and the full-size refrigerator, convection microwave, dishwasher and ample counter space in the kitchen make preparing meals easy and enjoyable. Additionally, the HVAC system keeps us comfortable year-round, and the bathroom and shower have more than enough space for a motorhome of its size. We can confidently say that the 2016 Fleetwood Discovery 40G has been a fantastic investment. It offers the perfect balance of comfort, style, and reliability, making it ideal for families like ours. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well-rounded, luxurious motorhome.

The Fleetwood Discovery 40G (Bunkhouse Model) is a fabulously spacious RV! Enough room for mom & dad plus up to 4 or 5 young ones. TONS of storage inside and out! You may find you'll have a tough time using up all the space. Easy to drive and to maneuver. Towing is a breeze! Easily tow the family minivan. Throw all of your seats down in the van and use your van to carry all of your bikes without losing precious cargo space under the Rig. Fantastic RV for families with kids. Still have access to the entire Rig even when it is fully closed.

I really wanted to buy this RV and once I got it we didnt use it nearly as much as we thought we would so it sat around a lot. It also seemed like something was always breaking on it and to get it in for service is a nightmare as they are backed up for months. I would not likely ever buy another RV again. I'd for sure rent one in the future though.

This is a great "family" RV. Plenty of space inside and underneath. It sleeps 8 comfortably. It even has two bunks for the kids with built in DVD player. No kids have to fight on what to watch. The Discovery is well made and high quality. The finishes are top notch. The residential refrigerator is big and makes plenty of ice. This RV comes with 3 air conditioners and can be used on 50 amp service. There are 4 tv's (one is exterior), with an in motion satellite dish on top. This is very useful on drives for kids or even your favorite sporting event. This is a comfortable ride and 380hp engine. Can tow up to 10,000 lbs. We love this RV and the only reason we are selling it is because our sons have gotten older and don't go with us. So we don't need ALL of this palace.

I love this coach I have had Zero problems. Everything is super easy to use and the livability is great. Hookup and setup super convenient. Easy to drive and quite and comfortable. Turning radius is great. The electronics in this coach are on point. Love the appliances and the washer and dryer working without having to re-run more then once. The build is solid and lot better then most other coaches I have seen.

We absolutely love this RV with its wide-open floorplan for our family of five. The kids favor the bunkroom for its privacy, and so do the parents (LOL). Each bunk has its own DVD player, so there is never a fight on which movie to watch. Fleetwood has built a sold coach from its foundation up. Nothing rattles or rolls as we cruise down the highway, and the coach just drives like a dream with its high profile and airbag suspension. I never feel worn out after driving on long trips. This model is equipped with all the amenities too that make our journeys even more enjoyable, like a washer and dryer (which my wife appreciates with three kids), a dishwasher (my favorite), four flatscreen televisions with surround sound, and a tracking satellite dish. We really enjoy the outside entertainment center too for watching football games, the races, or an evening movie with the kids. There is more storage in the basement bays then you know what to do with. I've never had so much storage in any of our RV's like this Discovery. Plus the doors swing out instead of up so it's easier to access my camping gear, especially with its full bay slide tray. We have been able to boondock comfortably for several days due to its large holding tanks, large inverter, 8K generator, and solar panel. If you have a sizable family and like to journey out and explore new places, then I would highly recommend this model for you. We love it!

We purchased two brand new 2019 discovery diesel pushers, first one in late 2018 second one in mid 2019 since then we have traded to A Entegra coach anthem and never will go back to another rev group product. Rev customer service is nonexistent denied claims for major issues within two months of purchase, never got the first follow up phone call with questions as to why we were so unhappy. $500,000 plus in purchases. Shame on them as we were loyal customers for over 10 years to the Fleetwood products.

This RV will be missed. Nothing better than spending Quality time with your own family. Bunk beds, 3 cooling zones, 4 TVs along with 3 separate entrances to the restroom. This rv is perfect for a family of up to 8 with room to throw an additional air mattress on the floor totaling 10 people. I am going to miss it but its something we dont use as much now the kids are grown. If I could do it over again I never would have purchased the gas model and would have purchased this diesel right off the bat. You can NOT even compare the 2.
