2011 fleetwood discovery 42c opinions please.

A friend of mine is thinking of getting a mh.He will be retiring soon and wants to travel the country.He wants to pull a big trailer with a jeep and a motorcycle inside.Just because I,ve had motorhomes for 30 years I become the "expert".I did recommend a diesel.He found this one at Lazy Days and wants my opinion.I would like to hear your opinions ,good and bad.Thanks.
  • He called and they came down to 150k on the phone.Also told him about a 2011 Entegra Aspire 42rbq for 153k.Now I get to do some research on that one!
  • i agree with Triker that the doors and drawers are hardwood. I think the actual cabinets are vinyl covered. Just sayin' to make you aware. Discovery is a nice coach.
  • Discovery has real Hardwood Cabinet Doors/Drawers.
    Rest may be vinyl.

    But I have had no peeling/cracking on my D that is now over 16 years old and used Full Time for soon to be 14 years.
  • I've had two Fleetwoods and would buy one again. I've also bought three RVs from Lazydays. They are a good company and will deal down from their asking price. Tell them you want new tires as part of the deal. Although my deals always involved a trade in, I still think they were fair with me and they bent over backwards to fix anything that was wrong. Get everything fixed while you are in the transfer yard.
    Although I do not know this Discovery, I think it has vinyl wood inside. We had that on our last Fleetwood and it is just something to consider. I've had very few problems with both Fleetwoods. One was new and this one was used. Fleetwoo's customer service is very good. There is a FW service agent stationed at Lazydays, or at least there used to be.
  • Mileage is 18500 miles which I think is good.Being a 2011 tires are probally 6 years old.probally ready for new ones.It has a residential frig with a 2k psw invertor and 4- 6 volt batteries.probally ready for batteries too.Don,t know about maintanence records.Do you think Lazy days would even have them? they,re asking price is 195k.I thought that was kinda high.
  • All depends on the selling price and condition. Tires date codes are an expensive replacement on tag axle coach....maintenance records a big plus.....2011 is 5 years old, mileage.....? Good shape and checks out good maybe $175,000
