Fleetwood 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.

We have owned our 2010 Pulse for nine years now and this has been the best engineered and built RV we have ever owned. This is our third motorized RV, we downsized from a 38' diesel pusher and have loved every minute. The build quality of the coach has been pretty much maintenance free and the interior is still like new. We have found the storage to be more than adequate, which was a big concern. The Dodge/Mercedes chassis has been flawless, just standard maintenance has all that been required. I would highly recommend one of these, even at fourteen years old now. Show less

Awesome coach. Haven't had any major problems. Built well, drives well. Super spacious. Looks great. Tons of compliments about the color scheme. Tons of storage space. Comfortable ride. The leather chairs and sofa's are very comfortable. I highly recommend Fleetwood's Bounder. Show less

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

The Fortis 36DB is a great alternative class A camper for those who want to enjoy camping in a class A and do not want to spend 250k or more. The Fortis 36DB has a very spacious, well-planned floor design to accommodate those who want and/or need plenty of room inside. Fleetwood put many little "extras" in this model that are normally found in much more expensive class A's such as a quick-connect for a gas grill, a small bathtub in the center bathroom, built-in wifi router and satellite system just to name a few. The 36DB has an incredible amount of storage space both inside and outside; more than many class A's. It is very easy to drive as it has a very good turning radius, and rides comfortably. Some of the interior materials used are not of the highest quality, but that is expected in such a price - you do get what you pay for. With that said, the dinette and sofa are really nice. They are comfortable and durable. As with many brand new products, there were some minor issues such as a slide-out motor that died, and the door cords that popped off, but Fleetwood was excellent in taking care of all of these and all other issues when I brought it to a Fleetwood dealer. Overall, it is an excellent choice for those who do not want to spend a fortune but want to comfortably camp in a nice class A. Show less

Great Motorhome for full-time RVing. Excessive storage bot inside and outside. Easy to drive. No reason to settle for a Class C when this Class A is affordable and far superior. Why buy new when you can have this type of luxury for 20% of the cost and built at a much higher quality level than what's on the new market today. Class A Motorhomes have heavy duty chassis vs. Class C light or medium duty van chassis. They are much more reliable and built for the long haul. Show less

Well built with 5.9 12 valve Cummins diesel and Allison 1000 transmission, 6.5 diesel genset. well laid out and durable. EZ to service powertrain thru coach side, large black and gray tanks. Oshkosh chassis solid running machine with good ground clearance for those unpaved roads etc. 100 gallons of fuel for long range and over 60 storage cabinets on coach. They don't make them like they used to, Show less

Fleetwood makes a dependable RV with great engine life. This RV handles smoothly and turns easily. It has a comfortable, practical layout that makes good use of the space. The Ford engine and chassis are durable and long-lasting. The engine/chassis and house are both easily serviced by any shop (no exotic parts) and Fleetwood has great support. The basic maintenance is straightforward enough for any diy-er. Show less

To those who are looking to Purchase a new Class mobile, beware of pending issues, which will happen. I have a Fleetwood Fortis 32 RW, it has multiple recalls and multiple issues. The chassis is the same as other RV's and quality is poor from sagging doors, leaking window seals, not secured moldings poorly secured seats. The list varies. Check out YouTube. There are a multiple individuals who can share their experiences Show less

From day 1 my flair 28a has been nothing but problems. The fresh water had to be replaced, bathroom faucet had to be replaced, the cruise control won’t stay on because the ABS light keeps showing up. The plumbing under the kitchen sink was the wrong tubing, so they had to replace part of my flooring. The bathroom cabinet is coming apart. The fridge is moving away from the wall. Show less
