2009 Fleetwood Bounder 38P

Hey all, think we finally found a floor plan that both the wife and I can live with...2009 Fleetwood Bounder 38P, triple slide unit, Ford V10, very low miles, in great shape. Has most of everything we would ever want / need. I have done some research on NADA and the price is certainly good. Looking for any general info, thoughts on the particular unit, positive or negative. Haven't seen a lot of Bounder subjects when I did the search.

Thanks
Mike
  • Trigger pulled...made the deal just a few minutes ago, subject to many things of course. See what the next week brings, this could be our new camping unit. Excited...thanks for the feedback

    It is a 24K chassis, unsure of its unloaded weight...she's a big unit. NOthing in the brochure on its CCC.

    There will bee a data pate in the coach in one of the cabinets or look on the wall by the drivers seat.
    Lots of Bounders out there.

    I don't know why the company stop making them, other brands offer electric, I would rather have electric over hydraulic, leaking seals, fluid gets moisture, pump burns out, etc, etc.


    I agree, would whether have the electric jacks now that I have corrected the design flaws. The first two years were very frustrating when you ready to leave and the jacks would malfunction. Here's 56 pages of how the issues were solved by poster's with the same problems over something like two years.

    .The RV for the most part has been trouble free. The only real issue would be if the 2009 is equipped with the power gear electric jacks, at some point they stop using them because moisture would get in the jack and cause corrosion on the brake..

  • I got a 08 Bounder 32W, love it, great quality, low price, not sure if the 09 your looking at is pre BK Fleetwood or not.
  • We love ours, it was the floor plan that the wife fell in love with. Our 2008 38P is on the Workhorse 24 series chassis with Allison transmission, so can't comment on the FordV10.The RV for the most part has been trouble free. The only real issue would be if the 2009 is equipped with the power gear electric jacks, at some point they stop using them because moisture would get in the jack and cause corrosion on the brake.There are a lot of threads on how to correct this and since I applied some of the solutions to my jacks they been trouble free. Overall we are very happy with ours! Good luck with your future purchase.
