Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
I've been researching this particular Fleetwood model because we really like one of the floorplans. The problem is that apparently our closest Fleetwood dealer doesn't carry this model. In addition it appears that the dealers that do are far and few between. I'm curious as to the reason behind this spotty availability, and concerned about the supportability after a purchase. Anyone have insight into this?
Fleetwood was one of the motor coach companies that went through a bankruptcy during the RV downturn. The company which purchased them, purchased only the motorized RV portion of the Fleetwood comglomerate. They have gone through a scale down of many of the things the parent company was offering in order to stay in business. The new company, know as Fleetwood RV, is now recuperating and growing slowly. Many of the old dealerships are no more.
As far as supportablility, Fleetwood RV is one of the few motor coach companies that is still honoring their warranties of the past and supporting their products with field tech support at rallies. They also have a superb maintanence and support facility in Dcatur, IN where you can get almost anything done in the way of repairs on the coach. It might be out of the way to go there but at least they are suppporting their products.

By the way...it's a small world. We live in Troy, MO and you passed about 20 miles to the south of us yesterday when you went by Wentzville (I-64 & I-70 interchange).
