Our motorhomeI has been in the shop more than it has been available. The kitchen slide doesn't fit, and the counter isn't level. We've had trim fall to the floor. The bathroom door is warped leaving a 1 inch gap. The heating and air conditioning was totally wired wrong. The main electric cord would not roll in. There are swirls in the paint. The Factory rep came up and says,"Sure enough there is a paint problem." We've had 3 different satellite receivers on the coach. Last week we was suppose to take our grandson to the Jr. Nhra drag race, end of the season, 2 day event, The motorhome left us stranded in the Albertson's parking lot for a day and a half. The starter was incorrectly wired, it shorted out and ran until it burnt itself up. That was the final straw. Washington has a lemon law and my Attorney and I are filing for the lemon law on Monday. The motorhome is a very nice driver, but the quality control leaves nothing to be desired. With all of the bad paint and the slide not fitting, heat and air not working, I don't think that they even check anything. The motorhome could have burned up because the electrical wires shorted on the main hot bolt on the starter. There are no fuses to prevent this. Thank God that it did not happen!

We bought our first motorhome; a 2008 Fleetwood Revolution 42K. It had all the features we wanted, towing capacity,1 1/2 baths, storage, etc. Have had for 4 mos, put on a total of 1200 miles. Been in the shop for a total of 2 mos. Leveling system never worked, parts took months to get, microwave/convection oven never worked, shabby finish work on cabinets, Sat system miswired, power cord reel inop, shower doors didn't close properly, radiator cover broke loose while driving, the list goes on. Considered Monaco and Country Coach, but didn't have floor plan we wanted. The Revolution is great when it works. Now I need to find out what's wrong with manual air dump system. I'm going to keep it for another 6 months to solve the problems, otherwise, it's out of here. I can't get the factory or the dealer to support it, so I fix almost everything myself.

I have a 08 rev 42k on my lot here in brunswick, ga. We're willing to make less $$ than anyone in the country.
I'm at newcastle rv, 877-264-5187, ask for little charles

I think the diesel Fleewoods are getting better and better. I like everything about this coach from the 400 Hp engine to the one-piece windshield. The full wall slide coaches are particularly amazing and I like the idea that on the 42K they've moved the fridge unit forward and away from the kitchen and bathroom congested areas. The one and a half bathroom idea seems to becoming more popular (I'm seeing more RoTi reviews with this) and there are more areas of tiling. The 42K seems to have a lot of bedroom wasted area, maybe they could have built a walk-in closet arrangement. Very beautiful coaches nevertheless; Fleetwoods are definitely getting better and moving upmarket.

The 42K is beautiful and has well thought-out spacing and amenities. I am going to look for it at the next RV show I go to.
