2004 Fleetwood Southwind v32

I am considering buying a 2004 Fleetwood Southwind v32 with a workhorse chassis,60,000 miles .Anybody have any experience with these units? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

  • We have an '03 Bounder 32V on the ford chassis, we bought new. Other than some initial quality control and just plain sh**ty workmanship which we got resolved during the first year, it has been a solid rig.
  • Been driving one for the last 12 years. Bought new in 2004, but only have about 35K miles on it. Had a few initial Fleetwood quality problems, but those were taken care of by the mfg. without any problems.

    Lots of good info on WH chassis, including recalls, can be found here iRV2 WH Forum.

    If you have any specific questions PM me.
  • Had a similar 04 Fleetwood Flair. I found the doghouse has no insulation on bottom side and used Summit Racing's sound deadener to help with heat and noise. The engine clutch fans on those are also very noisy when they engage. Be sure to check if this recall has been done.
