This model is based on an E-450 chassis which made good sense when looking at the weight of it and size. We liked the floor plan and for just the two of us it was quite livable. The overall quality is very good except for a few issues.
When we purchased this unit in April 2019 and while we took a short test drive and didn't discover that handling wasn't good. After buying we found it wandered a lot going down the highway and had to be constantly corrected. The most irritating aspect was that when a steering correction was put in, it started to turn but then wanted to keep turning so 3-4 hours driving was exhausting.
After considerable research I applied the best solutions I could find, and found my problems were common to a lot of E-450 Class-C owners. First upgrade was HEAVY Duty anti-sway bars, front and rear, and a Heavy Duty steering stabilizer. While those helped a lot they didn't cure the tracking problem. The unit still required constant steering input to go straight, so the next fix found was having the Caster changed with bushings and alignment to put as much in as possible. With all those changes I was able to do an 8 hour day's driving and not feel exhausted.
The dealer who sold me the unit forgot to tell me more than a few things about the unit, and I failed to look for them, so $$$s later...
We blew a tire after driving the unit only 400 miles, so - 6 new tires while on a trip. Completed this trip without any more problems. The next trip was from San Antonio to Columbus Ohio for the Pumpkin Festival. The RV only made it to Birmingham Alabama where it blew the main bearings on the engine at 26,800 miles!? Everyone we talked to stated "That doesn't happen" but it did to us. So leaving the RV at a Ford dealership while they installed the new engine, we disconnected our 2018 MKX, took all of our things needed for the trip to Ohio in it, and finished that part of the trip. The cause of death for the engine was an incorrect oil filter that not only was the wrong kind but was badly undersized. We picked up the RV on the way back from Ohio and drove it home. Fuel mileage was better right off the bat.
Towing the MKX with this unit has been a breeze. For the most part I don't even know it's there. The 3 camera system that I installed allows me to see the TOAD and totally eliminates blind spots on both sides.
The star reduction for livability is due to the gawd awful noise the A/C makes when it's running. You can't hear the TV even with amplified speakers, so we switched to Bluetooth earphones with noise canceling.

The Fleetwood Discovery 40G (Bunkhouse Model) is a fabulously spacious RV! Enough room for mom & dad plus up to 4 or 5 young ones. TONS of storage inside and out! You may find you'll have a tough time using up all the space. Easy to drive and to maneuver. Towing is a breeze! Easily tow the family minivan. Throw all of your seats down in the van and use your van to carry all of your bikes without losing precious cargo space under the Rig. Fantastic RV for families with kids. Still have access to the entire Rig even when it is fully closed.

I currently drive a Fleetwood Icon on several trips throughout the USA annually. I love this motorhome. It is the perfect size. You can take it anywhere, yet it is very roomy due to the large slideout. You will not need a dingy. I love the rear bath model. I don't like corner beds due to the fact they they are very inconvenient to use and hard to make up. I don't like overhead beds since they are hard to access. My beds are the sofa, which makes a double bed (RV Queen), and the dinette which makes a single bed. The suspension is not great and it can be a little bouncy at times. We have driven this coach about 40K of the 68K miles on it. We have plenty of miles to go since it has a Mercedes engine which runs like new.

We have lived full time in our RV for 7 years and it has been one of the best experiences of our lives. We have all the amenities we need at our age over 65, that we would have in a sticks and bricks home only less expensive and more comfortable living. 4 TV’s, convenient kitchen with microwave and convection oven, plus gas oven, 3 burner stove. Nice size double door refrigerator, queen size sleep number bed, nice shower, washer dryer combo that works perfect and so convenient. We have had only minor problems with the coach easily repaired by myself. All chassis service was provided by an RV service center with reasonable cost. If I were to purchase again I would buy this model. Fleetwood has been extremely helpful providing model #’s and part #’s and information needed to maintain our motor home. Owners manuals and service manuals are provided for all components on the motor home.

This coach has the strong chassis for towing.

We picked up the rv from a dealership. I'm totally in heaven. Very beautiful rv. My husband said he bought it because i thought it was beautiful. Then he said he hated rving. We needed help setting up and breaking down. Today we wired the balance to the lien holder (8/16//2018. We will hold onto this. It says or best offer. BOTTOM $40k. It is so worth it & some. New postupedic mattress. Tires are in good shape, new cooling unit in frig and new battery. I gave driving and towing a 4 as we haven't used the RV for towing. I got no warranty when we bought it . We had full over the road coverage but didn't have to use it. It's a great rv!
