We had an '04 Southwind, brother to the Bounder. Drove it 105,000 miles over 8 years of extended time use - 3 to 11 months at a time. It served us well and we only had one failure that I can attribute to the WorkHorse Chassis not Fleetwood. Most of my expenditures were normal maintenance and wear and tear from extensive use. Traded for my present coach only because I was concerned about putting a lot of money into refurbing a tired used interior on gas chassis with that many miles on it.
We loved it and it was as well built as anything could have been in that price range. Do watch out for older low mileage units, they tend to have not been continuously maintained the engine oil needs to be changed by the calendar whether it is driven or not, etc.
