Hello all. New here and need advise. looking for first rv and I like the layout of the Fleetwood bounder classic 34b. I have a family of six. would this be a suitable model or is there a better fit.

    for a ford chassis, the 99 or newer one, with 19 " wheels.
    for a chevy/workhorse, newer than the old P-30/32. couldn't find the roof material on that bounder.

    the master bed and the bunks will sleep 4. where do you plan on putting the other two? have to tear down the dinette every night, or make up the hideabed.

  • X2 Make the jump to ownership with a used, "unless" you have tried the RV lifestyle before, with friends, family or a rental. Big cost, big loss in money when you drive it off the lot, then big disappointment if it's the wrong one.
  • First rv? Start used. About 90% of first time buyers either give up or trade within the first three years. So unless you have a lot of cash laying around to waste go used.
