2013 Fleetwood ExcursionSeats & seat beltsBody, doors & structureEquipment & accessories

Examination of the underside of the sofa/couch of the motorhome revealed that the securing bolts have never been installed.

2006 Fleetwood ExcursionVisibility & wipersBody, doors & structureEquipment & accessories

Bought a 2006 fleetwood excursion new in 2007 with in 3 years several windows lost their seal. Total of 5 so far including window by driver's seat,causing problems with vision. I contacted fleetwood who said they had no liability. I contacted a glass company who said that should not have occurred . I have owned cars 40 to 50 years old which did not have this problem . Is there not a standard for glass installed in motorhomes. Thanks for any help here replacement will run 200 to 300 each ,but I think this is a fleetwood defect. *Tr

2005 Fleetwood ExcursionEquipment & accessories

The slider on a four slider motorhome will not come in many times. I drive alone, and my safety is at risk if I can't pull in the sliders and leave. Three to four people have to lift and push and jerk in the slider. I can not use this rv because of fear and the slider does not fully close. Four or 5 times to dealer, their statement, they have no clue. Also in aaa motorhome magazine this is a major problem, fleetwood is hiding from the public. I was stuck in mexico and montana away from all mechanical help, except...
