Bounder Construction

We are in the market to replace the Georgetown and have narrowed the search to the Bounder 35K. We lost the Georgetown to water damage, and the Bounder brochure says their walls have no wood backing the fiberglass, that they use a fiberglass panel in the lamination. Has anyone had any experience in this type of construction?
  • The spec sheet shows the walls are built with Vetrosina Fiberglass. After dealing with delamination with the last two RV's I would really like to stay away from the wood panels if possible.
  • Hello Dodge guy, I had a 2008 Georgetown 350TS. The roof was replaced by the factory in 2013 (stress cracks known issue), the side wall separated and had to be reattached (very common issue) while on the road in 2015. Brake lines ruptured and lost brakes while going down hill (thank God for the parking brake), 2019. Finally a tree limb hit the roof radius in 2021 and cracked the roof, I didn't see the crack and water made its way into the side wall (not Forest rivers fault). What I have found over the years that all RV's have their issues, just need to take care of the issues as they come and enjoy the ride.

    Can someone translate this for me?? :h
  • I think you are talking Azdel. Most newer RVs of at least 10 years use it. With that said, the construction of the Fleetwood is questionable! My buddy’s 17 had so many issues. We had to reinforce the entire dashboard as it would bounce and shake driving down the road.

    Our 12 Georgetown has been problem free and uses the Adelaide. What year was your Georgetown?
