I purchased a new 2014 Fleetwood Bounder 35K 12/31/13. It has been nothing but a HUGE headache and problem.

The dealer has had it more days than I have. When I went to pick up the coach, I was told that they had discovered a Surge Monitor was not working and they would have to order the part. So, I did not get to pick it up until Feb, Since it was winter, they went ahead and winterized it for me. I also had to buy a vehicle to tow and a towing bar.

They ordered that for me and when I took it back to be installed, they finally got everything done in 4 weeks. I finally got to actually use my RV for the first time in April. On the first trip out, we had issues. The TV would not work, because the dealership had not wired them properly when changing over from Direct to Dish.

So, they had to get that problem addressed. Then our next trip in May. The molding around the windshield came loose and started flopping. We had to stop and glue that back together.

Then the refrigerator stopped working, then the microwave stopped working. We had to take it back to the service center. They ordered new parts and kept it 6 weeks. We went on another trip.

No sooner had we parked, our refrigerator went out again. The microwave also stopped working again. Our windshield washer would not work. The toilet started leaking and ran under the bathroom cabinet.

We noticed that the bathroom cabinet was coming apart. We also had a leak around the sink and the cabinet started falling apart. It has now been back at the dealership for 2 weeks still waiting on parts. I bought this RV to travel for my business.

This is not for pleasure camping. I had gotten tired of Hotels and Airports. But, now they look very good. I tried to trade it in for a different RV.

What a joke. It has only 5000 miles and they wanted to give me $30,000 less than I paid for it 10 months ago. They blame Fleetwood, Fleetwood blames the dealer. It is ridiculous.

If they would give me a loaner it would be fine. But no, I am making payments on a brand new RV that I can't even use.

I am a VERY unhappy customer.

Reason of review: Damaged or defective.

Monetary Loss: $30000.

Preferred solution: Full refund.

Fleetwood Rv Cons: All the problems i have had.

Location: Atlanta, Georgia

Sorry for all your problems I took out a warranty so I could take it where I wanted to take it . I haven't had the problems you're having and if I do have some my RV guys fix it fast . That reduction in trade in is what it is you can't change I knew that when I buy a new car and the same with a motorhome I use to call It the monster now I call it the money pit :)))

Don't do it! We had the same strategy; however, our 2014 Bounder Classic is no classic. We are now on Warranty Issue # 24, that is if Fleetwood had a two year warranty!

We're looking at the same coach. can you share the dealer and location? Thanks!

I will be glad to. I am sorry I just saw this.

PLEASE do not buy a Fleetwood 35 K RUN as fast as you can!!! I took the RV back to the dealership December 12. It is still there and today is 2/24/15. They have had my RV at the dealership over 200 days of the 14 months I have owned it.

The RV Dealer is RV WORLD OF GA in Buford GA They are to blame as much as the manufacturer. It has been a nightmare

Ever hear of uh,wellll,an "Insurance job"?

Really I'm just kidding.

I purchased one brand new, Went camping the following week, Everything was great,A month later went to a Nascar race and while we were watching a prerace ceremony a voice came over the local paging system that a Moterhome was on fire guess what?

The fire department investigated (The department in that city, not the tracks department) it was obvious that a 120 volt electrical short was to blame
