We are looking at a Fleetwood Pace Arrow on a Freightliner chassis. One thing that really attracted us to this model is the drop down queen bed above the driver area. It has bunk beds too. We have 4 kids so it has enough sleeping space so that I can leave the dining table for dining, and the sofa for sitting, without having to pick up bedding. The drop down queen bed is motorized and has 4 chains, one on each corner. The chain is surrounded by a metal plate and on the bad road was vibrating against the metal casing. The dealer said there wasn't anything they could do about it, and suggested putting a piece of foam in it while traveling (there is in open slit in the middle of the metal casing exposing the chain).
The second noise was the console to the left of the driver where you shift from neutral to drive/reverse. They found something loose and said that can be tightened.
The third noise I'd say was the frame and that came on the hard bumps in the road. I test drove this on a super rough stretch of interstate and for this noise I'm guessing that was the problem.
My dad has a Fleetwood, and while I haven't ridden in his, I've heard that Fleetwood makes a quality product.
