Fleetwood Storm reviews

I want to foreworn anyone that is looking to purchase a Fleetwood. I have a 2018 and have had nothing but problems and realize that this thing is basically becoming a money pit. The latest is that since I have had it I never noticed that it did not have a tail pipe for the generator. How would I know there is supposed to be one. I don't use my generator that much I only turn it on for 1-2 hours a couple of times a month to run it and cool the interior down on hot days when I'm getting ready to take it out. One day 5 year later I had to actually use it for a few hours while waiting for someone to move out of a spot we paid for. After a couple of hours the carbon monoxide alarm went off. We thought it was acting up so we reset it. Found out the alarm wasn't acting up - it was in fact telling us that the interior was getting carbon monoxide. Contacted Rev RV and someone was trying to help us however management who never wants to pay for anything unless they absolutely have to said that they wouldn't do anything because I waited too long to let them know. Really - how the hell would I have known sooner that during the manufacturing process they "forgot" to install the tail pipe? There are a lot of other issues I have had with my unit because they "forgot" to install something or installed much of it very poorly where things literally fall on your head and fall apart. I have had so many problems that I would be writing a novel if I had to cover them all. Back to the reason for my post - please do plenty of research before buying a RV. These things are so cheaply made and the quality is not there so they have so many issues. They skimp on the nuts, bolts, screws, etc. required for sofas, tables, cabin chairs, cabinets, trim, you name it. They put enough in to hold it up until you buy it then it starts falling apart faster than your wallet can keep up with it. I have to laugh at them telling me I waited to long to say anything when I wouldn't know that their people skimped on my unit and didn't install a major piece that could have ultimately killed us all because we were in the unit with our pets. I guess their attitude is "life is not important" because you waited too long to tell us, instead of checking into why the part was never installed to begin with. Based on many of the issues we have had one can say that QC is not present or practiced at their plants and lack of QC can be taken a whole lot of ways. Do your homework and I wish the best of luck to you because when, not if things go wrong, you will be completely on your own. I have not had a properly working tankless hot water heater in over 5 years. I didn't even have hot water when I bought it and they still haven't gotten it right. It is much better after their last fix last year but it still is not working the way it is supposed to. Show less

We chose this RV because of it's compact size and very unique floorplan. We like the fact that a couple of our kids can travel in the rear dinette (which has 2 seatbelts) and be separated from a few of the kids who were riding near the front of the RV. The dinette then converts to double bunks for sleeping. The power drop down bunk over the cab was also a big seller for us (we have 5 kids). Plenty of exterior storage for all your camping gear. The V10 and light weight of the coach means plenty of power to tow and pull the hills. I would recommend this RV to anyone with kids. Show less

Bought our 32A new. Atwood tankless water heater junk, got Fleetwood to replace it with Truma Aqua Tankless no cost. Added washer/dryer combo and satellite. Replaced L-couch with dual studio recliners. Plenty of storage for all our needs Sumo shocks all 4 and Safe T steering stabilizer, snap pads on the levelers. Built in Hughes surge protector. Taken multiple trips over 3 years a couple of 7-8 weeks. Towing a CR-V to the northwest parks handled grades well. Overall very happy with ride and performance and once water heater replaced we consider it a equal to many other higher priced gassers of equal length. Never had any trouble on the road, been very reliable. Show less

We bought this model brand new in 2018. The Atwood on-demand water heater was a piece, and we got rid if it and replaced it with a Dometic Water Heater. Problem was solved. The rig is comfortable and it is perfect for my family and pups. We've used it to visit our kids in college, both competing schools. We've had a blast tailgating! There is ample room for cookers, lawn chairs, ice chests, food, SOLO Bonfire, Dutch ovens, flag poles, you name it, No problems with the plumbing, electric or slides. We filmed the RV Tech giving us a play by play of all of equipment at the time of purchase, and we saved them to a Dropbox Link for review on the road if needed. We've been to Universal Studios, Disneyland, St. Georges Island, and in general camping and boon-docking in 10 states. We've kept everything serviced, and we've stored it in a garage full time. There have been a few little things we've had to fix over the last 2 years, but nothing that required a tech or a service company. We've upgraded to 4K TV'S throughout, and added premium speakers. We've never towed a vehicle. All in all, this rig does exactly what we thought she should be capable of doing. It feels like home away from home when we're on the road. Show less

This unit was purchased NEW in 2017, this is when the problems started. The L-shaped couch dug into the tile, aside being VERY uncomfortable (it has since been replaced) the light in the pantry went out. Both of the slides stopped working, we had to have NEW GROUND wires put in. ($500.) one of the under coach unit leaks so that is not helpful for bringing items on a trip. The WORST is the fact that the seal around the windshield LEAKS big time and has been since 2018, so we had 1 (one) good year with out water getting in. since REV builds such a crappy motor home, now we have to pay out OVER $3700. to have it replaced. We have trying since 9/3/2020 and we are still waiting. Nothing is covered under the warranty. And getting hold of any one is impossible trust me I have tried. NO ONE ever returns a phone call or email. Show less

This is my 4th motorhome and my 10th RV. This particular motorhome exceeded my expectations on ease of use and functionality. Being a single, female owner/driver, it was important that I secure a vehicle that was as automated as possible. The self leveling jacks, electric slide, and electric awning made setting up camp simple. I also love the amount of room inside the RV even when the slide is closed. That makes driving and traveling easy. I replaced all the lights with LED and I added solar panels to the roof of my RV. This allowed me to boondocks with plenty of spare battery power. I was a bit disappointed with the number of times I had to take my RV back for service the first year but the company did an outstanding job in all repairs and after the first year, I did not have any issues. This size makes handling and maneuvering easy and allows for easy access to all state campgrounds. This RV has been a true joy. Show less

Fleetwoods are one of the worst RV's ever made and the manufacturer does not even care. They do not support them nor do they promote QC/QA in their builds. If they did they would not allow some of these to leave the factory floor. Put in too much money on ours already and its only 2 years old. Too many things falling apart, literally falling off the walls and hitting people as they fall. Hardware falling out of chairs and sofas and pieces laying around for animals to find. I will continue to post on here as long as no one reaches out to me to fix the poor quality issues that I have been having. Guess that means you'll be seeing my reviews for years to come. If you buy a Fleetwood my condolences are with you. Show less

Great RV for any size family. Wonderful storage inside and out. Great for towing. You can drive this RV for hours without getting fatigued. Beautiful bath and a 1/2 with fireplace and spacious queen sized bed. Show less

We purchased this 2018 Fleetwood Storm 32A slightly used and are loving it. The quality of the build is great. The only thing we've had problems out of is the Atwood OD50 Tankless Water Heater, I so wish it had anything else! Scalding hot, then ice cold, but seldom right where you need it. It's a great idea, but a very poor application. Other than that, the Storm is perfect for us. We'll be full time an another year or two and this will be our home. We use it almost every weekend and for extended trips when we can. So many little extra features like the powered vent fans, nice powered awning, auto-start generator and built in inverter. We like the Vaccu-flush toilet, we can go a week or more and not fill up the black tank. I wish the gray tank was a little bigger but I think the problem is the the water heater irregularity... The Pantry is such a wonderful use of space and the fireplace is awesome, putting enough heat to warm us in the cooler mornings and evenings. Love the automatica Satellite on the roof and the leveling system is top notch. This is what we needed, exactly. I cant think of anything extra we need to add to it, it came with everything! Solar... Yes, we will want Solar in the next year or so. Enjoy! Show less
