Fleetwood Jamboree class C motorhome exterior

Fleetwood says: "The Fleetwood Jamboree has consistently raised the standard for family camping for more than 35 years. Every year, Fleetwood engineers perfect the well-known Jamboree to meet the needs of today’s families. The latest Jamboree is no exception, boasting innovative floor plans, including an optional media center that comes in handy on a rainy spring day. In fact, you can camp in most any season, thanks to Jamboree’s heated basement. With features like these, you can see why Jamboree remains one of the best-selling motor homes on the market."

Fleetwood also says: :"The interior of Jamboree features comfy furniture, beautiful wood cabinetry, and a roomy bedroom that feel like home.." The living area certainly looks really nice as you can see from the pictures below. The first shows the interior of the 31M shown in Cabernet interior decor with Plantation Cherry wood cabinetry.

Next we show the sofa bed - plenty of space to stretch out after the sofa back folds down:

Another conversion - the dinette becomes a bed. The table swings down, and the cushions make into a mattress:

FLOORPLANS

We show the floorplans below - click for a bigger picture:

The Fleetwood Jamboree has 3 really nice floorplan arrangements.
The 26J features a residential style U-shape dinette option, large queen bed and a large wardrobe.
The 30H features a huge conversation space that overlooks patio area and a pass-through compartment in the rear.
The 31M features include side aisle space and privacy and a residential size bathroom.

These floorplans really do reflect the continuous improvement that has gone into the Jamboree by Fleetwood engineers over many years...

Lee	We purchased a 2010 Jamboree 31M used. We have enjoyed it very much, except the dealer lied to us and told us it had a 60 gallon water tank, when in reality it is only 35 gal. It appears this is the only model with a 35 gal tank and others have the 60 gal. We do a lot of dry camping, therefore are wondering if anyone has been able to add an additional tank to this model to expand it's capacity, and how we might do that.
Bryan Graham	I had a Jamboree for 2 years in the 90s. We went everywhere in it and it gave us very few problems. We're looking at the new models now and I think they really do incorporate all of the experience they've gained over the years. Fleetwood are a good company and the Jamboree is a great class C.
Robert Carr	I bought a Fleetwood in February. Incredible buy. Good price and it's been trouble free so far apart from 3 minor items (2 electrical and one for a water valve sticking). The dealer is still in business and I'm getting excellent service.
Erik J	We have a 2008 Fleetwood Terra. Great motorhome. We really looked at a lot of motorhomes and options and decided on the Terra. Never regretted it. Don't buy into any of the negative stuff about Fleetwood, they make a good product. Sure, we've had a few problems, but minor and taken care of. I really recommend Fleetwood.
Drew	We have a fleetwood Jamboree and are waiting for our new Terra at the factory. Decided on the Terra after a lot of research on class As. Like Fleetwood.
Buckhorn	The Jamboree is a great motorhome. I've had 2, one 93 and the other 06. They just keep making them better. I found Fleetwood good to deal with and the dealers and maintenance facilities OK too.
patty	Bought a 1981 jamboree in excellent condition the jamboree goes on forever--how does the fridge work while driving--it says gas or elec-but do you run propane while using gas power to drive? It also has generator.
Jean	Hi, I just bought a'97 Fleetwood Jamboree in Florida. Love it. I drove it back to Minnesota alone. I am single also, 54 years old, spine/neck problems. It was a little scary at first, but once I got the hang of things (semi's, larger RV's, passing me /bucking wind in IN & IL), it got easier with every mile. I like to go to NASCAR races & now I can! If you want it to happen bad enough, you will make it happen! Good Luck! Any suggestions for a beginner?
