My 2009 Icon is IMO very well designed, but the construction was pretty darn shoddy. I kept a list of factory defects and it's about 80 items long. One example is that the heat pump had the wrong thermostat installed. The built-in load shedding device was wired wrong. Another owner was short a heat register, with the duct left blowing the hot air into the kitchen cabinet base behind some drawers. It appears that when the allotted build time expired, the unit was shipped, ready or not. It was built in the now-closed California factory. Many owners believe that the factory in the east did/does better work. Thank goodness Fleetwood didn't build the chassis! With everything fixed it's a good rig.
