Visibility/Wiper · at 24,000 miles · reported Oct 16, 2016
Various windows in the coach are cloudy and can not be cleaned , impairing vision. I have tried to clean them but it appears to be in between the window panes. I was pulling off of the freeway off ramp and when I went to turn on to the main road, I was nearly t-boned by an 18 wheeler. The cloudiness reflect oncoming vehicle head lights to be in a different location then what they actually are. It is dangerous to be on the road with a vehicle in this condition. I have seen lots of forums with the same issue that I AM having. I can send pictures if this can go any farther to getting something…
Electrical System · at 21,009 miles · reported Oct 13, 2009
Notice by fleetwood about the battery cable recall. Tried to get it fixed at rnr rv in liberty lake washington. They did not have parts, but ordered the parts. We are full time rvers and were unable to take the motor home back. They gave us the parts. Tried to get the problem fixed at another rv repair shop that is a fleetwood dealer. This dealer told me that they would not honor the recall and that we would have to pay for the recall. There is nothing in any of the information that I have that says there is a drop dead date to have the problem fixed or that we would have to pay for the fix.
Electrical System · at 10,000 miles · reported Aug 21, 2009
We have a 2007 fleetwood discovery. It has had some electrical problems that were repaired while it was still under warranty. We had not had any problems with it since nov 2008. In june while camping my husband went to open an outside bin and got shocked. If you touch the outside of the rv any where you receive an electrical shock if it is plugged in. It is not safe to use. This is a problem that should never happen and we have no idea how all of a sudden if the rv is plugged in it shocks you.
Equipment · at 3,344 miles · reported Dec 8, 2006
Dt*: the contact stated when the couch was converted into a bed; there was no room to walk past the bed or exit in case of an emergency.
