Fleetwood Bounder reviews

Great model with ample room and great amenities. The design is not only beautiful but the floor plan makes living in it a joy. Beautiful colors, tile and solid surfaces counters. Love the built in washer and dryer and the dual mode vacuum flush that allows for more or less water usage by merely depressing the lever for ten seconds to switch between levels. The shower is great and we’ve never run out of hot water even after we both used it. When closed up while traveling you have ample room to move around. I love that it has a stainless steel residential full refrigerator and freezer. The two reclining seats are a must for kicking back in the evening and are comfortable enough to sleep in. The table converts easily to a desk for ease of laptop use. I love the under counter ambient lighting. The king size bed tilts up for a more comfortable sleep. It comes with a locking drawer for your valuables and the overhead is equipped for a c pap machine if needed. There’s plenty of storage and closet space. We lived in ours for four months with no issues. There were a few things that needed repaired immediately. A headlight wire harness that was bad and a faulty fuel pump on the generator. Both of these were bad from the start and luckily easily fixed through warranty. Even though this is not a diesel it easily towed our trailer with our car and our electric bikes without issues. No problem going through the mountains. My biggest disappointment would be the curtains. Why they put metal at the bottom of all the shades so they click during travel is beyond me. I put padding on all of them to stop this problem. Overall we love this unit and the issues we have had have been dealt with quickly and effortlessly by the manufacturer. Show less

My husband and I bought a 2024 Fleetwood 35K Bounder. Worst decision ever. The dash shakes so badly that you can even talk to each other. The screws are breaking off and falling out. The vent leaked in the bathroom. The mirrors don’t adjust correctly. The motor sounds like it is going blowup. So so loud. The wipers fell down while going down the road. The bedroom wall bows out. Not secure. Pros would be the living arrangement. Very doable for a family but with everything else that has gone wrong, that is just not enough. I can’t believe anyone buys a Bounder if they are like this one. And we bought it from Motor Home Specialist in Alvarado Texas and that has been a disaster too. We tried to get them to fix everything and even though the motorhome is under a year old and under factory warranty, it still cost us $2000 since everything was basically our fault. Their answer to the dash’s shaking was Velcro!!!!!!!! lol!! I have never been so disappointed in such a large purchase in my life. We will take a loss on this piece of junk and upgrade to a Tiffin or Entegra diesel for sure. Should have done that first but hind sight is 20-20. If you think you want a diesel, wait until you get one. And don’t ever buy from motorhome specialists in Alvarado Texas and/ or buy a piece of junk gas burner like this Bounder. Show less

I have owned 2 Fleetwood REV Products. Lets just say I don't even want to camp anymore after owning these 2 rv's. Every time you use it something breaks down. The slide keeps losing memory so need to do it manually, take it back and forth to the repair shop to be reprogrammed. Generator almost burnt the motorhome down do to uncomplete wiring. The exterior wall bows outward in the sun even at 6 degrees Celsius. Have had this going on for a long time and still not fixed. Just like the last motorhome the wall exterior paint kept cracking in the same spot. They say it's just cosmetic ( I say no it's their junk builds.) Had a screw wreck the bottom of my slide that came out of the floor the first time I used it. Where the screw was put in they totally missed the floor and put it into the rubber seal. Good craftsmanship again. Show less

This is an amazing motorhome; We are the second owner and over the last 4 years towing a Jeep it has performed excellently. Not any issues with coach or chassis. One of the best floorplans Bounder offers for couples and a couple of children, sleep 6 comfortably. has every amenity available in a gas coach from that year. Show less

It’s been a great RV. Very roomy, comfortable, with plenty of room and storage. It’s got all the goodie’s in it with two tvs l, one in living area and one in the bedroom. It saved us a few years ago during the Tx hard freeze- we were warm with plenty of water for the week before we got power back on and water back in the area. And same thing again when the Hurricane came through leaving us with no power or water again! The most challenging item for me is it takes me a bit to settle in driving it. It seems so wide to me. But I settle in after a bit! But it’s time to retire on those long trips so we are selling it. Show less

A wonderful motorhome for our many trips to Florida pulling our Mustang. No problems but we are 90 now and need to sell it. Keeping it in a heated garage has kept it in good condition We would gladly make more trips south but time marches on and we must deal with reality. Show less

Awesome coach. Haven't had any major problems. Built well, drives well. Super spacious. Looks great. Tons of compliments about the color scheme. Tons of storage space. Comfortable ride. The leather chairs and sofa's are very comfortable. I highly recommend Fleetwood's Bounder. Show less

Great Motorhome for full-time RVing. Excessive storage bot inside and outside. Easy to drive. No reason to settle for a Class C when this Class A is affordable and far superior. Why buy new when you can have this type of luxury for 20% of the cost and built at a much higher quality level than what's on the new market today. Class A Motorhomes have heavy duty chassis vs. Class C light or medium duty van chassis. They are much more reliable and built for the long haul. Show less

Well built with 5.9 12 valve Cummins diesel and Allison 1000 transmission, 6.5 diesel genset. well laid out and durable. EZ to service powertrain thru coach side, large black and gray tanks. Oshkosh chassis solid running machine with good ground clearance for those unpaved roads etc. 100 gallons of fuel for long range and over 60 storage cabinets on coach. They don't make them like they used to, Show less

We purchased our "Bertha" as second owners two years ago, and it is our first Class A experience. The original owner took pretty good care of this ol' girl, and installed a lot of extra goodies which I'll cover in a bit. We've spent 28 nights in it, and have driven it more than 6,500 miles. We're pretty easy-going, so we don't usually notice some things that others may want to nit-pick. Having said that, we've learned a few things along the way that (if we could) would fix. To begin with, our 8.1 Duramax gasoline engine is more than up to any task we put to it, but the noise! I guess this is to be expected with a forward control coach, but even cruising at around 2,000 RPM in top gear (a bit over 60 mph) listening to the radio impossible. My co-pilot (my wife, not the cat) and I find ourselves shouting to each other to be heard, so convivial conversation along the way is out of the question. The windshield "visor" (which functions more like a privacy screen when in camp, doesn't roll down all the way to the instrument panel. Leaves about a 6 inch gap which, when standing outside, is about eye-height. One other thing is, nit-picking aside, merely bothersome: The bedside lamps are in a goofy position that precludes sitting propped up in bed to read the paper and jointly enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning (again, not with the cat). Finally, and I suppose this is just the fact that "Bertha" is getting a little long in the tooth, is the rattles. I've crawled under, over, and inside as far as I can go into the coach, but I'm unable to find what the heck causes all those rattles somewhere in the front of us! Nothing appears loose, and everything functions as it should, but a pavement seam or slightly sunken maintenance cover in the street sends a shiver through the ol' gal and makes us want to look for NBW or parts on the floor. In all, we love our Bounder. The split bathroom is a great idea -- we wish our previous tow-behinds had this, instead of giving no knee room when on the throne! Despite the engine noise, she rides quietly and smoothly. Nothing beyond the instrument panel rattles, and everything works as advertised. The amount of storage space in the living area is great, and the basement storage is far more than we've ever needed. Our Bounder rides nicely, steers nicely and has pretty decent 360 degree vision from the flight deck, thanks to mirrors and the rear vision monitor. We tow a 2010 Subaru Forester with a 5-speed manual tranny, with no effort. We got "Bertha" a full spa treatment recently, and now she gleams like new and seems as anxious as we are to start our 3 week September ramble ... including the cat. Show less
