The mechanical breakdown on coaches is not the fault of the coach maker, THE ACTUAL CHASSIS is the responsibility of the chassis maker and most coaches use the same ones

Fleetwood sales are down because they build crap and the service sucks. I agree!
Try going on line and finding support diagrams or electrical diagrams.
I looked for a dealer for repairs on Fleetwood's web site and found one 150miles away. Dodge City, Ks. I live in Wichita, Ks and bought it in Augusta, about 20mi. away.
I went to a local RV repair site and was given a three week wait for service.
I have a warranty... Where is the service Fleetwood?

On 05 Excursion, entire kitchen slide is slanted sideways and rubbing on side of motor home. Top is in tight and bottom has one inch difference. Fleetwood says this is not structural.

Fleetwood sales are down because they build crap and the service sucks they sell you a Coach with a 10,000 hitch and then send you a new sticker to say it is only 5,000 lbs. Too many problems to list on 06 discovery that DMV said is an 05 . Attorney is working on suit , have sent 4 friends to other manufactures in 1 year all spent 0ver 300 k thats just 1 example of lost sales...will set up site fleetwood sucks.com

One hour after it was delivered, my daughter got on the top bunk and it cracked and the face board came away from the bottom board about 1/2 inch and theres nails popped up all over. Fleetwood said maybe my daughter got on it the wrong way. Theres a 500 pound weight limit sticker on the exact same model above the bunk, my daughter weighs 185 pounds. They gave me stupid excuses and lies. One employer says it was a 2007, it was actually 2006. I am going to pursue with a lawyer. The part of the freezer shelf was also missing. no one from Susquehanna Rv didn't have the decency to contact me. Fleetwood wants to fix it but its still not going to hold a 500 pound weight limit. My Son and other Daughter wouldn't be able to use it if my Daughter weighing 185 pounds broke it. The trailer was False Advertisement, Misrepresentation, Deception, Fraud, and Lies. Fleeetwood will be in trouble when I am done with my connections. This trailer should be recalled. FLEETWOOD PIONEER 3102BDS

I think their drop in towable sales is partially due to the lack of a high quality 5th wheel. If their Triumph and Pride were supposed to be the replacements for the Avion, they evidently were a poor substitute...since they are also gone! Maybe it's time to bring back the Avion!!

I wish someone would have informed us about Fleetwood Motorhomes before we had TWO major breakdowns on two separt coaches and 06 Discovery blown turbo and a 06 Providence fuel pump. Both coaches left our family of 5 on the side of the road. DO NOT BUY A FLEETWOOD porduct you will be sorry, frustrated, upset like we are.

If you want quality, avoid Fleetwood. You might check out the RV Consumers Group. Unless you are willing to shell out the big bucks, you might consider either Born Free or Lazy Daze. They are the only two brands under $100K with 5 star (*****) ratings. They are both Class C's, but they are extremely well built. I have a nine year old Lazy Daze with over 105K miles on it. I wouldn't hesitate to take off on an extended trip in it. In fact, I will be leaving for a 15K mile trip in June.

I would say it means that the majority of people have less money to spend on non-essentials and that the majority of people with less money are poor folks that can't afford a motorhome while more affluent folks still have plenty $s to go around. On another note, my Fleetwood Wilderness 5er never leaked. My Excel 5er leaked. My neighbour's River Canyon leaks. Could this mean that Peterson and Travel Supreme ain't no good?

The smart RV family knows if fuel prices go up we go on shorter trips & we stay longer. Buying a fiver is a smart thing my coach is my home!

The reports I read were that trailer type RV's (mainly 5th wheel) were up and motorhome sales were down. Fleetwoods report was based on dollars in sales, which could mean that the cost of trailers was down and the cost of motorhomes had gone sky high!

I shudder to think that even more folks are buying Fleetwood motorhomes. The word on their lack of support and poorly constructed RVs must not be getting out to the newer buyers, likely Baby Boomers. Happy Fleetwood RV owners are few and far between on the road. Buy a used Foretravel!

Interesting that the motorhome sales increase is put down to the change to more Diesel units. They also say they're making better products and have lowered their cost structure. Most vehicle companies did that 10 years ago. It's fortunate for them that they never had the Japanese as competitors.
