| Re: Excel Classic fifth wheel | David Hansen | I want to know if Exel has a 39' to 42' 5th wheel. I plan to be a full timer and would like the x-tra. |
| Re: Excel RT fifth wheel | Benjamin L | We've had 2 Excels and have nothing but good to say about the company. |
| Re: Excel Wild Cargo toy hauler fifth wheel | Kirsty | We have the 39SKM and like it very much. The garage area is enormous and the bedroom with the slide is better than my house. This is really nice and we try to use it every weekend and look forward to using it. |
| 2005 Excel 36FLR fifth wheel | Curtis Galloway | Owned a Cougar before purchasing our 2005 Excel 36FLR. The floor plan, construction and durability is supperb. Have had the unit parked in the pines of northern Californa since purchased and it still looks a good as it did the day I bought it, inside and out, with very little maintenance. I would purchase another Excel or Peterson Industries product in a heart beat without reservation. |
| 2004 Excel 33RSE Limited ffth wheel | W. Wood | I spent the 07/08 winter in Wyoming in my 2004 Excel 33RSE with no problems except for frost around the window frames. The temps dropped to 15 degrees F. below zero with winds of 50 MPH+. Worst winter there in 25 years. Hard-piped and insulated the sewer, heat traced and insulated the water hose and skirted the bottom with styrofoam. I sold my Fleetwood Prowler to a co-worker who told me that it froze up solid. Enough said ! |
| 2007 Pleasureway Excel | John D | The DVD player was defective. New unit was installed. The quality of the interior finish. ie Corian, Leather, Maple raised cabinet doors. Pleasureway has a very knowledgeable and helpful tech service manager. The dealers techs seem inexperienced and have too much work. Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 5/5. |
| 2005 Excel Limited Edition | sparky | We have an 2005 Excel Limited Edition. It is a solidly built product and we enjoy our floorplan. Our gas mileage has actually gone up even though this fifthwheel is 1000 pounds heavier than our last fifthwheel. Everything rides well in it, recommend Excel. |
| 2004 Excel Limited 5th wheel | Mike G | Purchased it new in November 2005 - the front jacks have gone out twice - the RV pulls well Purchased 2004 RV new in NOV. 2005 at RV Show. After 20 months had a well maintained tire with less then 5000 miles it, blow and cause damage to the wheel well. Found out Peterson Industries (the Manufacturing company) put 2002 tires on the 2004 unit and sold it to me new in 2005. The unit is still under their two year warranty (does not include tires). The tires were three years old when I bought the new unit. When I contacted their costumer service they told me "too bad!" You may run into an honest Excel dealer; but be aware of Peterson Industries if you call with a concern, they are not rated as high as their RVs. purchased at RV Sales, Moriarty, New Mexico I would be happy to speak with anyone at Roaming Times, if they would like more information about my incident. Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: No. Rating: 1/5. |
| Re: 2008 Excel Limited Edition | Mo Mitchell | We've had 2 Excels and we loved both of them. Good RVs and a good company to buy from. We lived full time in one of them for almost 3 years and it was almost problem free. |
| Re: 2007 Excel Classic | 5683 Traveler | I bought a fiver built by KZ (Sportmen) new in '03 and lived in it full time since that time. I looked at a lot of trailers but KZ had always won an award for quality each year and I know why. I paid half of trailers like the Excel at under thirty, out the door with a seven year warranty. And the inside looks like the Excel 30! Guys, overall, this is a well made trailer and a bargain at the price. 2857PX3 fiver with '02 F350 club cab diesel. |
| Re: Excel Classic fifth wheel | Russ Calne | We have a Teton Prestige Monterey. It's a 1998 and we definitely need to get a new 5th wheel. I've been looking at all the ones that we know are higher end rigs - Teton, Hitchhiker and Carriage. The Excel probably also fits into this class. I talked to an owner this week, we're in a park in California, and he strongly recommended the Excel. It was a Classic 33RSO and it really seemed to be well constructed with a beautiful interior. Seems to be priced well for what you get. The other one I'm thinking about is the Arctic Fox. We had a Nash trailer that was very good, made by the same company as Arctic Fox. Any experiences on them? |
| 2005 Excel fifth wheel 36RDO | Colin and Marie Keithley | We bought the 2005 36RDO 5th wheel new and have never regretted it. We've had almost no problems and the manufacturer not only makes a good product but also stands behind it. We even went to Kansas and met the owner of the company. They gave us a great welcome and they're very helpful. A beautiful RV inside, well thought out. |
