| 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? |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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? |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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

| 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. |
| ralph | For anyone: what kind of Vehicle are you pulling the E2 or the E3 with (V8,V6 ect...)? |
| Greg | Nothing more then a tent on wheels, nothing like a Apache Folddown Trailer. |
| dogboy | Im going to dealer this week. what should be my top dollar when I give my offer? |
| 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. |
| 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? |
| 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 |
| deepdewdew | do these suckers fit into a standard double garage |
