1998 Fleetwood reviews

I have had towables before but now I want to have a motorhome which will be my home for myself and my 4 little ones. I will need a car trailer as the ford mustang I own is rear wheel drive. Where did I get my towing experence? My husband and I were concessionaires we traveled all over. I loved that life but he passed and I went home to take care of family. Now all I have to worry about is me and my 4 little ones, the 4 legged ones. Show less

Very reliable and well-built. Easy to maintain and drive. Plenty of power for economical cruising. Drive it 25k-30k miles a year and never a problem. Always pulling a four down 4-door pickup and receive 12-13 mpg doing so. No bad! Show less

during the past 20 years its been to San Diego,Key West, Prince Edward isle,Edmonton Alb, Fairbanks,Alaska. Rocky Point,Mexico. Its on its 3rd set of Tires. on its 2nd Satellite,since Direct TV made the 1st receiver obsolete. the original air conditioner covers died after ten years, so i replaced them. we are on our 3rd set of house & diesel batteries. one remarkable thing is the Dometic Elite Side by side Refrigerator/ freezer is still functioning. During the winter months, I keep an electric oil filled radiator heater,set at 50 degrees to protect the leather couches & front seats.While in Rocky point,a local business provides a washing & hand waxing service for seventy five dollars. they also made & installed a new slideout awning for $125.this is my 2nd american eagle.I try to purchase a 5or6 year old luxurious motorhome for about one half of the original cost.this way I get five to eight years of great service then I sell it.one other thing, with its dual diesel fill points{left & right side] there is less waiting to replenish the tanks.even after 20 years the factory still provides great advice if you have any problems.

I had this type of RV for 10 years and had lots of good times in it. The wife and I have traveled to 40 different states and camped in state parks and national parks. We liked the twin beds because of my restless leg syndrome. It's a comfortable camper with plenty of room. We got a bigger Class A when we decided to go to full time travel. Stuck with the Fleetwood, no big complaints in 10 years. Show less

We purchased the unit Dec 2013(now is Jan 2019). It had 19,000 miles on it. We have put an additional 34,000 on it. We have loved the unit. The only real problem is with the Chassis which is by Chevrolet. The "Automatic Parking Brake" is a MAJOR disaster. There is no permanent fix for the problem and due to the age, parts are becoming difficult to locate and some are no longer available (not made any more). The FORD Chassis does NOT have this issue. Otherwise we love it. It has plenty of room and easily sleep 4 grown adults (full sized adults). The corner shower is one of the main reasons we purchased this unit. The corner shower has more room for adults than the rectangular tub/showers in others. Plenty of closet and drawer space for clothes when traveling with 4 adults on long trips (4 - 6 weeks).

For the age of the bounder I found it to very well built and stable on the road. It is well designed and is spacious even thou it does not have pullouts. It has alot of packing space in and under the vehicle and enough water grey water and sewage storage for a family of 4. It took us through 18 states over 7500 miles in 3 months. If you plan to tow try a vehicle with a bigger motor. Show less

This RV is a pleasure to drive and go camping it. It has cruise control a backup camera to help you back your RV into a site. The large slide out enhances the living space when you go camping.it has a ice maker so you don't have to go the store for ice. The shower is very spacious and the queen size bed lets you have a comfortable night's sleep and the mirrow closet is big enough to put plenty of clothes in it.Its all self contained. All in all this RV will make your experience with camping a pleasure. Show less

We have owned this camper since 2002 and have enjoyed it over the years.Traveled throughout the USA and it has served us well.We have towed a boat on occassion and also a small pickup from time to time. We really hate to sell but we are getting older and it is getting more difficult to climb up into the bed. Show less

Drives easy. I lived in this unit for the better part of 12 years. Used for summer trips to the north in the last 5 years. I start the unit every month for about 15 minutes to lube the engine. No slides for easy parking. 30 amp service and 5,500 watt generator. Show less

I've enjoyed driving with comfort and ease in parking my 1998 Fleetwood Jamboree RV. The comforts camping was always fun and never wanted to end. The big windows make it easy to site see and light the area well. Very cozy along with new carpet & vinyl-wood grain floor. The engine has lots of power in the mountains. Fun is always with my Rv.
