| Ron | I have driven my 2010 Icon 10k from Tucson to Utah, Wy, So Dak Colorado and NM without any problems. I climbed several 7 & 8% grades, pulling an inclosed motorcycle trailer with my Harley. We were in it for a full 3 months and the fresh water tank should be larger as well as the real bed. I have the unit with the entertainment center above the cab. My wife and I are both very satisfied with our unit other than what I just mentioned. On a decent day at 62 MPH we get 16 miles to a gallon. | Re: Fleetwood Icon class C motorhome |
| Mike | Bought new 33L Terra in Feb.2008. Its great, excellent dealer (R@R RV in Spokane). Only minor issues would buy Fleetwood again. | Re: Fleetwood Terra LX class A motorhome |
| BillR | I have an E1 2006. 2005 I started seeing the bubbles on the interior ceiling also. I took it to the dealer and he has taken photos and sent them to Fleetwood/ Coleman. Appears to be a leak in the caulk outside somewhere. Im still hoping the manufacturer will step up. I know Ill be hit with a large shipping charge. | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| James | We own a 2007 40E and use it about 90 days out of the year. We have two "tweenagers". The size and layout have worked out well. Like any big coach, stuff does come off in your hands, and you will get little help from Fleetwood. The good news is that virtually everything in the coach is "off the shelf" product so getting replacement stuff is very easy and not as expensive as you might think. Just pray that you don't have an issue with the slides. One of ours jammed and not only did it take 3 mos for Fleetwood to get the parts, it costed $6,000 to fix it. Good thing for Good Sam CSP. Enjoy | Re: Fleetwood Revolution luxury motorcoach |
| paul | does not anybody have the Cobalt? I am considering buying it because of the low weight. | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| shane | we are in the minority, but we have had several issues with our E2. It's an 07, bought new, and has had some issues. The sink leaked, it was never tightened below, also, the caulk is poorly installed. The toilet shower leaked so bad the first time we used it, more water went on the floor than down the drain. The 110v electrical was a nightmare. None of the outlets had been installed properly, the wires were not tightened to the outlet, so after a coulpe bumpy roads, all the wires pulled out and shorted against them selves. Also, our roof is leaking, to the point it has to be replaced (under warranty at least, but huge shipping fees to Canada).
With all these issues, we still love the trailer, and fortunately we've been able to repair all the issues ourselves, so it's just time not money to resolve.
I would recommend this trailer, but make sure the roof seams are caulked well (also for those who have evo, maybe redo the caulking on regular basis) and if it's new, take to dealer as soon as issues arise. | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| Chappy | we are looking to buy a PA 37C 2005
it s our first motorhome .
Do you know if this year (model) have major problem ? the chevy 8.1 ? suspension? my wife love the floorplan ..thanks for your comments. | Re: Fleetwood Pace Arrow Vision class A motorhome |
| Reba | Great concept, like the cabover bed on an A. The price looks good too. Got to see one we have a 40' fleetwood. Like it but want something smaller | Re: Fleetwood Storm class A motorhome |
| Jim H | we got a o8 EV 2, and have taken it off road many many times. We have had no issues so far, and use it 5 to 10 times a year, sometimes for 10 days at a time. I hoping we dont have any of these issues. | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| Don in Colorado | We have had our E1 for 4 years now and love it and where it takes us. I have pulled it behind a Landcruiser and Land Rover and now behind an "06 Rubicon Unlimited. Little heavy for that on the highway but no issues on the dirt. We never have it at a full hook up campground as it is not designed for that. We have taken it through many rough dirt roads and over several challenging river crossings up to top of tires and performed great. The Screen door sucks but have had no issues with the water lines except for the Drain under the sink. I switched it out to a small long narrow holding tank with a hose bib. with more flexible drain hose. Lube your lift and feet screws with Garage door lube and it will perform for many years. have fun. | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| S. QUIGLEY | I agree the screen sucks. It was bad from day 1 but worse since the wind caught it. My husband says I just don't know how to operate it but I think it's crappy. Sink also leaks but otherwise I love it. We use it a great deal. | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| Skippy Dunbar | I have a 2008 Evolution E1. I use it several times a year and have never had any of the problems others speak of. I tow mine with a full size Amercan truck with a big V8, so I dont even know its there when I'm towing. I have taken my trailer on rough dirt roads and one 5000 mile road trip. No problems at all.... | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| don | I have e2 that I am considering 06 low miles and use, besides all the flaws i have read about,water lines,screen door, other than a function test of the components does anybody have any other advise before the purchase. | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| manolo1 | We bought a 2005 37C with three slideouts and it has been a great rig. We took it all the way across the country and except for a couple of a/c issues it has been flawless. Thought of trading in on a diesel but couldnt see the trade off in price or amenities. top shelf RV and will always stay with Fleetwood. | Re: Fleetwood Pace Arrow Vision class A motorhome |
| Catlink | Has anyone had problems w/ the full wall slides on Fleetwoods getting stuck -- one end out further than the other --just inches -- due to RV being on a slanted surface?
| Re: Fleetwood Discovery |
| The Millers - Texas | We have an E3 2007, love it. Take it camping all the time. The door sucks and broken within the first few trips. The only other complaint is the hot water heater, we had it replaced twice, can get the gas to flow. We decided to go with an electric water heater instead. | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| Wayne | The Quest is probably the best thing Fleetwood has done to save their image, make some needed cash flow happen, and ensure they survive in these times of economic downturn. Having owned six Fleetwood calss As over the past fifteen year I now cannot afford to pay $300 to fill the tank just to drive 300 miles or less. This smaller size is good and the mileage will help families to keep doing what they love, and help new families to fulfill their dream of owning an RV. My concernwill be that this :limited time build of 150 units" was only done to rid the factory (Riverside CA) of surplus parts which is why there were only 150 built, and why each of the two models have so many variations from coach to coach. I have noted different sized drawers, some with ovens other's without, very few with front entertainment centers, and only a few with silver body paint at lower body areas. There is no consistency in the build of this product. I have noted most dealers have sold these units for about $60,000 which is right where Fleetwood needs to set their price for this unit to create a market for themselves. I would hope Fleetwood will consider cotinuing this model, keeping the quality high, the options low to keep the price low and keeping the models consistent as to components. If this model is successful Fleetwood will once again set the pace for all the others to follow. As with the bounder, Fleetwood has always had the ability to focus of not only market needs, but what the market can afford to allow ownership. Long gone are the days families can taken the false equity of their home and spend it on an RV. There must be an affordable RV. This could be it!! | Re: 2010 Fleetwood Quest class C motorhome |
| Dooh | We have an 05 E-1 and have had no problems with any of the above except the screen door. You cannot get the "main" company to ship you one, nor reply and so you need to prepare for that purchase. We camp 8-10 times a year and it is well worth it. But because of poor relationship with the company and getting parts, I will not be getting another Fleetwood when it is time to upgrade. The horror stories of the later models have scared us away. | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| bigmanbugz | have a 2007 fleet wood pace arrow mod 37.....would like to add TV in rear who,where,how can i find someone or business to do the work i live in Georgia also want interior ceiling panels replaced | Re: Fleetwood Pace Arrow Vision class A motorhome |
| Jorge De La Fe | Water valve is under the stove very bad place to place it but other wise is a great little motor home I own one and have ran about 6,000 miles on it it handles great but can only pull a small vehicle | Re: 2010 Fleetwood Quest class C motorhome |
| M Buteau | We love The icon, it run like a limo, and we can had a lot of benefits, However I Have a comment on the bed size; It would have been great if if the wardrobe would have been 4 to 6inches and extend the bed. I am 5'8 and i find the it is limit to confort. We have compared with other and could not find anything better. I hope that the manufacturer will take in considation the bed size option. Thank's | Re: Fleetwood Icon class C motorhome |
| Stan | I love the layout of the Revolution -V with the full slides. I am new to this and before I buy I would love to hear from Revolution owners about their perceptions of Revolution quality, performance, etc. Email me at: Stant@ptd.net Hope to hear from you! | Re: Fleetwood Revolution luxury motorcoach |
| Frank | I have an 07 Pace Arrow (37C) and it has served me well. Like the previous poster, I couldn't see buying a disel with the amount of miles that I accumulate. It drives/handles very well and the inside it just fantastic for me and my wife. | Re: Fleetwood Pace Arrow Vision class A motorhome |
| Spike | Retired Seniors...
I also have a 2008 Terra 33L. Purchased new in 2008 (prior to the Fleetwood Fall) No issues to speak of.... A recall regarding wires near the front left jack. rerouted the wires myself, no big deal... other problems were minor leak on one air unit... unit needed to be tighten after first trip. Blemish in paneling near TV.. Dealer fix, not a problem... love the coach, just hope my good fortune continues for many years of use.... | Re: Fleetwood Terra LX class A motorhome |
| Anne | We also have a 2010 Fleetwood Quest RV,and just love it. good price,good RV, good job Fleetwood!!! | Re: 2010 Fleetwood Quest class C motorhome |
| Mountain Campers | We have the Evolution. We went with the electric crank system--problem!! It has quit completely. Also we have water damage on the rood--inside the camper are little "balloons". Anyone else had these problems? | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| Matt in Utah | I have an E1, 2007 I think. I use it only a few times a year, but it does serve its offroad purpose well. Two recommendations. Install a kill switch on the radio - cost me $10. this will fix the bright light at night problem. Also replace smoke detector. I'm sure I will have to do some of the repairs referenced here but the chasis seems solid. | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| Grace | We bought one of these last month and love it, We're spending the winter in Arizona and we'll be touring around. This is the perfect RV for us. | Re: Fleetwood Icon class C motorhome |
| Hank L | The Quest looks real nice, very similar to the Icon but lower price. I'm going to compare them. | Re: 2010 Fleetwood Quest class C motorhome |
| jlt | Just purchased a used 2007 fleetwood discovery 39V, the problem is there was not any manuals, we need a cat 330, a tracvision dome manual, a coby dvd 938, a 39V coach manual would sure help. email jackie.touchstone@suddenlink.net | Re: Fleetwood Discovery |
| RetiredSeniors(one w/postpolio | We just bought a 2008
Terra 33L and would like to know what recalls, complaints, or things to look out for by others. | Re: Fleetwood Terra LX class A motorhome |
| Rick | Very nice this is classier than the fleetwood class c's i've rented. Good deal for a $100k. We're looking to buy a c and I'll find a dealer and look at this. | Re: Fleetwood Icon class C motorhome |
| Gary Dishman | What braintrust came up with the idea for the kitchen in the very front of the coach? Makes as much since as putting the toilet in the navagators seat. | Re: Fleetwood Bounder Classic class A motorhome |
| In Idaho | Has Fleetwood corrected these hose and door problems? What model/years were these problems occurring? I'm looking at a 2006 E2 so appreciate the info. | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| chief_n8dub | just got an E2 & shopping for a generator, don't run a whole lota stuff. The miss's wants to run her hair dryer & curler & maybe a blender now and again. Any recomended sizes? | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| canoeman | Well after 2 1/2 yrs. all the inside water lines had to be replaced due to kinking.
The hoses going to outside hose bib kinked and broke.
The underside had three kinked hot water lines from factory. Other than that it's a good trailer. Radio is very bright night light, I'm going to change it out. Main water fill line 1 3/8 hose gave up ghost as well. | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| 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. | Re: Fleetwood Jamboree class C motorhome |
| Mike | We got an '09 Terra LX 34B and really enjoy it. What minor issues came up after delivery were quickly dealt with leaving us with a nice unit for all sorts of trips. Great weight capacity. Very comfortable. | Re: Fleetwood Terra LX class A motorhome |
| Homer | I have owned a Bounder, one the very best coaches I have ever owned out of 7 class A's. Fleetwood just seems to give you every thing you need and want in a Bounder. Dependability above all else. | Re: Fleetwood Bounder Classic class A motorhome |
| LadyofLeisure | I have an American Tradition and the 43 Ft Full Wall Slide is just awesome! I love the full bath in the back with 1/2 bath. We have a 2001 AT and we are thinking about putting the TV on extention brackets. I would love to design my own . . . lots of idea stiring and show them what I would like to change. | Re: Fleetwood American Tradition luxury motorcoach |
| Robert | It's hard to believe, on a truely luxury motorhome, and this was is, that they still put the tv up over the front. It hurts your neck after awhile and not one seat is in a position where you have a straight look at the tv. | Re: Fleetwood American Tradition luxury motorcoach |
| E3 Owner | I've had my E3 for three years and have taken it on Dozens of hunting/camping trips. I love it, but I've had all the same problems as the others, (screen door sucks, water lines all krempted from factory and head liner coming down) all in all fairly simple fixes, replaced water lines with SPA tubing or braided steel. Only thing I still haven't fixed is crapy screen door. If anyone knows of an after market door I'm interested. Looking forward to E4 or beyond wish they would make one with a side by side UTV in mind. | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| Julie | Hi. I am from New Zealand & have a used Evolution E1. 2007 model. We use it for fly fishing so it travels mainly on 4wd tracks. We love it apart from
The screen door
The water pipes under the sink
The dolly wheel
The main 4 x struts that wind up the roof are slightley bent as we have alot of winds here so now the door will not clip onto place at the top with the 2 x white clips
All this can be repaired so not such a big deal.
We are wanting spares for it & have emailed many dealers but NO ONE replies Does anyone know of a good dealer that can send out parts to NZ
Thanks
Julie | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| Ken Goody | We have an E2 we pull with a Honda CRV 4 cylinder. Pulls real nice no problems pulling or with the camper. We use it a lot and like it. | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| ralph | For anyone: what kind of Vehicle are you pulling the E2 or the E3 with (V8,V6 ect...)? | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| dogboy | Im going to dealer this week. what should be my top dollar when I give my offer? | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| Katie, Medford, Oregon | Had our E2 for almost two years now. Screen door sucks. The heater will roast you out. I have found that the radio will drain your battery, just disconnect the battery when not in use, which you should do anyway. Hot water tank is awesome. towes and handels great, holds out polaris sportsman 700 and all our gear. kinda of wish i would have gotten the E3. I do recommened getting the cutting board that fits over the sink for more counter space. | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| Randy - North Bend WA | Does anyone have any experience with the E4 loaded with two ATV's? Just curious to what happens with the tongue weight? | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| canoeman | same trouble here with water lines Under sink and water lines going to shower and kinked lines under trailer
I love the trailer, hate the quality control
I had to redo almost all moving water lines.
cassette toilet leaks into cavity under toilet.
dont drive with poop tank full.
hard to find adapters for shower and sink drain lines
radio light stays on all the time very annoyingv ery bright
would recomend 12 volt power lift, trailer is a bear to crank up.
keep an eye on screws holding ceiling to aluminum channel running down both side of ceiling they come out.
replace smoke detector with battery unit, unit chirps after disconnecting power to trailer | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
| deepdewdew | do these suckers fit into a standard double garage | Re: Fleetwood Evolution Camping Trailer |
