Fleetwood Flair RVs Reviews (30)
Avg. Rating

We bought a 2015 Fleetwood Flair in May . We have owned other Rv's and for the money we paid for it compared to our the other Rv's we had the quality is poor. This includes at Fleetwood Southwind. For example the mattress has springs in compared to our units which good quality foam mattresses. The pull down blinds are of poor quality. There is very little counter space in the galley. The stove has no cover on other units we had and I used for it a work space. The recliner chair is useless, for the space is limited when the slider is out. The cover for the storage under the eating area is rough plywood and one time I almost ripped the vinyl covers. Getting In and out of the bed is difficult for me because I am short and the bed is sitting high. Space between the bed and wall is smaller on one side than the other. No matter what RV we have had I find making the bed is difficult at the top of the bed. Remember to check that the daylight running lights are connected. In Canada it is the law for these lights to be fully operational. When we first got the unit the lights were not connected. Also check for the year and the month the tires were made when buying the unit in Canada. The tire can not be older than five year age of the purchase date. This is Transport Canada regulations. We have found the grey water tank is only 15 gallons so when we were dry camping we had to watch the level water closely. I bought a plastic pan to put in the sink so I could dispose of dish water outside. What do I like about the unit. The view driving down the road from the passenger side window is great. On our most recent trip I saw things I had never seen before even though we had traveled the route many times. It is the right side unit for two people. The is lots of shortage space. We use the front passenger side outside shortage space for shoes. This storage space is right beside the door. The rear outside storage is great and easy to get at. My husband said he is amazed how easy it is turn the unit in tight spaces. We can drive for approximately 1000 kilometres on a tank of fuel.( gas) . For us that means filling up once every two days. We live in Canada. The price of varies the cost of filling varies. On our recent trip we paid from 220 to 300 dollars filling up. On our most recent trip the first day of our trip we had to wait for several hours in a ferry line up and have the big captain style driver and passenger seats made the waiting comfortable. People have said how they like the colours and lines scheme of the unit. We both like how the bath door opens out towards the living space creating a great private area. It allowed us at times not to have to close the blind on the front window. I hope my comments have helped those thinking purchasing a Fleetwood Flair.

Our first trip stranded in TEXAS water running out of both sides had to have Plummer fix every fitting in RV. Next stop full wall wall slide failed, took month to get fixed in as. Finally on way home last night other slide failed would not come in took three days finally they freed motor pushed slide in and nailed 2x4s to keep in. We finally got home took RV to Fleetwood in Decatur Ind had 42 more items to be repaired. Most were done ok except we came to find we went home with bad slide motor that took another day at general rv. So far they have paid for all until generator fuel pump went out out costing us $380.54.

Bought this RV in Jan 2019 from RV World League City TX. Terrible followup and customer service . Could not even get a call back on issues. Had to go to another dealer for help. My RV has been in the shop seven times since purchased. From the first time out we had problems, the roof had a leak. No power to electrical in rear of vehicle. No AC even though generator worked fine. The entrance door was not aligned. Refrigerator door need replacement. Had to order both entrance and frig door waiting time two months. Next time out, interior lining on outside storage compartments came loose. AC not working had to replace. Vehicle pulling to the right was told this was my problem and not a warranty issue. Pluming for sink broke loose, shower need resealing. Auto leveling system panel had to be replaced and one jack replaced. Although factory parts arrived waiting time of upto 2 months seems quite long. Really kinda scared to take the thing out, don't know if something else will break. Most likely will be putting it up sale very soon. Would not recommend this buy.

This unit is starting to spend more time back at the dealer than on the road. Every time we go out we end up having to go back into the shop. Each time it has something to do with the drivers side slide. First it wouldn't close all the way, then leaking around the seals, they have to replace all the rollers and now we're out camping and getting ready to move and the slide won't close at all. Of course it's a weekend and we can't get anything done. Called a dealer that was open and was told we needed to call back tomorrow after 9:00 am when their shop opens. Didn't bother about taking my information to have them call me when they come in. Tried calling the Fleetwood assistance number and got a recording to call Monday - Friday. Piss poor customer service.

This rig is a 29 ft and what a beautiful maneuvering motorhome. Very nice layout with 2 swivel captain 2 tone chairs. Back up camera. Sofa that lays to a bed. Eating table that also folds to a bed. Above drivers seats a queen size bed electrically come down. Beautiful laid out kitchen with 3 burner stove, oven and microwave. Rear bedroom had queen size bed plenty of storage. 3 tv’s. 2 stereo systems. So much to list.

I purchased this 31E new in 2017, I've only had one warranty issue and that was a bad ground on the chassis causing the lights not to work. Our local Ford dealership has serviced this RV every year and keeps in it great shape. The RV has ample shape and is geared towards small families with 7 seat belts, 7 beds and 7 places for people to eat or more if you use the front table. The captain chairs turn around as well for more guests. It is the perfect size to drive and get in and out of small county/state parks but livable enough you don't notice its only 31 feet long. The best thing about this coach is the huge amounts of outside storage. Its easy to get set up at a campsite with the auto levelers and (2) slides. You'll love the Fleetwood Flair 31E.

We bought the unit new. We have an issue every time we use it. The dealership can't get the electrical fixed. The overhead bunk got stuck in the down position. The lights don't work and has been worked on 5 different times. We love the length and layout but are frustrated by electrical and quality issues.

We have been able to travel in extreme comfort. And host large parties from the well designed kitchen.the storage bays have maximum room for games and camping equipment and tools and extra supplies. We have been very comfortable in both extremes of weather.

The best floor plan of any class A i have seen. Large separate shower is hard to find in this price range, plus separate bathroom with porcelain toilet across the hall. Two queen Beds. Very Comfortable. More storage than you can use.

I had this type of RV for 10 years and had lots of good times in it. The wife and I have traveled to 40 different states and camped in state parks and national parks. We liked the twin beds because of my restless leg syndrome. It's a comfortable camper with plenty of room. We got a bigger Class A when we decided to go to full time travel. Stuck with the Fleetwood, no big complaints in 10 years.

Drove it all over the. Southern part of California while the children were growing up, maintained meticulously. Absolutely no mechanical problems with it has less than 50,000 miles on it. The children have grown up now, it's time to move on is the only reason I'm looking to sell it., i'm sure will make someone a wonderful RV. It just needs a loving home.

Used it very little. It pulled our Focus with ease and was very comfortable for us to live in for extended periods from Nevada to Montana. It fits in State parks or RV resorts plus it will sleep 4 Grandkids easily

I purchased brand new a 2015 Jayco Eagle Premier 338FKDS a few months after taking trips we noticed Water in the RV while Driving in the Rain. Took the RV where we originally purchased it , we were told the whole front Cap of the RV needed to be replaced. The Dealer ordered the cap , replaced it but didn’t replace the propane cover, now we have none matching cap and cover and Jayco refused to replace the propane cover. I’ve owned 4 Jayco RV’s and will no longer purchase any Jayco products if this is the way they treat loyal customers

Don't expect everything to be covered under the warranty. Had the motorhome 5 months and the first rain storm we had a water leak above the drivers seat. Took it to the dealer and was told that sealants aren't covered under the warranty. I called the manufacturer and they told me that was my responsibility, that the sealant needs to be replaced every 6 months. Being a brand new motorhome I feel they did a bad job of sealing it from the factory and it should be covered by warranty.

The audio Video system is great the inside is like brand new and updated style. Driving up front is very comfortable and you can see everything needed. Plenty of storage and useability. Our family has really enjoyed traveling in this rig.

>> ORIGIINAL OWNER >> GREAT CONDITION >> LOW MILEAGE >> EASY TO MANEUVER: IT'S THE GOLDILOCKS SIZE: NOT TOO BIG/ NOT TOO SMAll / JUST RIGHT !! >> ALL THE "NEW-RV BUGS" HAVE BEEN WORKED OUT....

We love are Fleetwood Flair 31W! Before buying we thoroughly researched Winnebago Vista LX 27X, Itasca Sunstar, Forest River FR3, Fleetwood Flair 29T and the 31W. We fell in love with the layout and the numerous extra options in the 31W. Huge storage throughout this RV with full basement storage. A real porcelain toilet with water sprayer. Three tv's with an outdoor entertainment system. Two a/c's with two zones. Automatic hydraulic leveling system. Large holding and fresh water tanks. Electric down drop queen bed above the cockpit. Electric powered front shade. Onan 5.5 kw generator. Rear camera, also side view camera's when directionals are used. Cruise control on the steering wheel. Convection microwave oven. Awnings over all slide outs. Powered awning that has LED lights on the full length of awning. There are to many options to list on this Class A RV. The only things we don't like about the 31W is the rugs on the front cockpit area. It is only in the cab area. I wish the tile floor went all the way to front on the cab. It has a small bathroom and shower area. Wish it had a full size fridge and freezer. No navigation on screen. Other than those minor things that we wish it had, we truly love this RV!!!

Since Purchasing this RV 4/2016 It has spent more time in the Repair Shop than on the road. +46 R.O.'S (Repair Orders) have been written [Some + 2 times] Extremly Dissatisfied with the Workmanship put into this coach. I would Not reccomend ANYONE PURCHASE ONE if this is the Norm for this Make/Model. Just got it 12/13 out of the Repair shop for the umteenth time.

Overall we like this motorhome and realize it is a base level class A. The things we like most about it: Cabinets, layout, full body paint, upholstery and the appliances work good overall The things we that need improvement are the Plumbing, mattress, handling & ride. I wish fleetwood would have included a convection microwave.

I purchased a 1992 Fleetwood Flair that needed work but showed promise in its quality and that parts were still available. I removed all the carpet and out down KILZ on the floor and put down vinyl flooring. I have also added LED interior and exterior lighting for brightness and power savings. I also have had the steering system repaired including new idler arms (which are only made by GM on this P30 chassis), new KYB shocks and 2 new front chassis air bags and wheel bearing and front end alignment. This has been a fun project and I believe with all the love and attention I am giving it, it will last for a very long time. Fleetwood build quality lasts decades after the original build and through ongoing maintenance, the vehicle can be made to last further. It is a joy to own and drive.

We bought this model in July of 2016. Our first trip to Montana, we started to smell smoke. Traced the smoke to the microwave. Discontinued using it for the remainder of the trip. The shower leaked from the bottom metal frame onto the floor. Their was metal shavings on the dash coming form the over head bed. (Was not used during trip.) We took it to a dealer in fife for repairs. Requested an upgrade to a better microwave at our cost and was told that was not possible. Repairs were made but very poor service department. Was told that when they pulled out the microwave they found charred wires. not sure how they made the repair? On our next trip to eastern Washington last week, the gas operated water heater and refrigerator did not work. Called dealer today for an appointment but have not heard from them yet. This must be the bottom of the line in the fleetwood models. Only 6,000+ miles on the coach and afraid to go on another trip. What next. Be aware there is no manual cranking device to bring in the slide in case of a failure. Did not know this at the time of purchased. Do not buy this model. Spend the extra money for a better coach. Both our trips ruined....forgot to mention the back up camera failed.

We have only had our rv for a few months and have not used it much. Had a problem with it starting, turns out all 3 batteries were junk! They were replaced right away. It is roomy and comfortable. I will be replacing the springy mattress though! The undercarriage storage is more than adequate. I love the entry pantry cabinet. The back up cameras and screen are worthless. We spoke with the place where we bought the rv and they said that there are complaints but no fix. The screen is placed low ar the dashl and tilted down. Not visible at all! I will be writing to fleetwood.

This RV is very roomy, Floor layout is perfect for a small family. It has all the comforts of home, & can live in all year round, especially for retirement. It has been very reliable, and comforts of travel, is fantastic.

We just bought the 2015 26E and hate the recliner, it's in the way and pretty much useless. We aren't fond of the bench dinette either, plan on taking it out and putting the recliner there. So if anyone is getting rid of the recliner let me know, I would like to buy it, then I can have two in place of the dinette.

We made wonderful family memories with this RV in the 8 years we owned it. It drives & maneuvers easily & has all the features we needed to be comfortable & safe on the road or in our campsite. Up hill or down, towing or not, the Workhorse motor didn't even work hard. With auto levelers, power slide-outs & a back up camera..pulling into a spot & setting up is a snap! It was just the 2 of us most of the time but we had plenty of room to have camping guests too. Since we often RV'd in the summer, we loved the dual AC which kept the entire coach as cold as we wanted. Dual thermostats for ac & the furnace too. I was concerned that the beige carpeting would be hard to keep clean--but we used runner rugs & the carpet looks almost new. This was our first RV & we are very impressed with Fleetwoods quality. Everytime I needed something it was right at my fingertips--right down to tons of light fixtures, elec. outlets & storage. We would not hesitate to recommend the Fleetwood Flair to anyone!
