Traveled from Boston MA to San Antonio to pick up an 2010 Fleetwood Bounder Classic RV that was described by sales person Albert to be an 8.5 our of 10. Certainly ratings can be subjective and I think Albert may have been ambivalent about the condition vs. being willfully untruthful.
Condition: Underneath heavily rusted, major chips missing in counter tops, 5 jagged slots cut into counter top for no apparent reason, large ugly shed pad lock on the entry door, signs of water damage in several cabinets, exposed screw holes EVERYWHERE, dirty carpet and the final straw that did me in was the 24" crack across the windshield.
None of this was disclosed to me when we were discussing the vehicle.
Lost around $1,800 between airline tickets for my family to fly down to drive home with me, hotel expenses, cab fare etc.. Lost our February vacation week,
Had they been honest upfront and advertised that this vehicle came from an auction lot and needed much TLC to bring it back to good condition, I might have been more receptive to the idea that there was work to do. The windshield alone was close to $3K to replace!!!!
This is not an RV dealership as they purport, this is a storage facility that has discovered how to make some cash selling RV's from people who have them stored they and mostly from buying them at auctions. They know little about RVs and will not be able to service the vehicles in any meaningful way.
On the flip side, their prices are good and you might find a gem that needs little to be a good RV for someone. You REALLY need to know your stuff before buying here though.... read more
