| dansirois's Full Review: 2000 Fleetwood Wilderness GLX |
From day 1, big slide-out problems, 2" exterior gap when closed, 2" interior gap when open! Dealer couldn't fix. Had to tow to factory, still not perfect. GLX is suppose to be a smooth gelcoat fiberglass, I found a compartment door and entry door made of cheaper "fibered" fiberglass, manufacturer refuses to replace door with smooth gelcoat fiberglass door, states they don't use them; but the Avion Savanah uses them?? Many minor problems, fit & finish, a few plumbing leaks. A few design problems, ie. rear recliners when strapped down for travel, rub up against the window lambrequins, and loosen them. The antenna booster switch is located behind the bedroom TV, and you cannot get to it to switch from cable to antenna use. The bedroom dresser drawers are very shallow, even though the cabinet that they are in is twice the depth of the drawer. These are things you don't find out until you've had it a few days! I am disappointed in Fleetwood's customer service in Riverside, California, they just pass the buck to the manufacturing plants.
I love the floorplan, the materials seem to be OK, pricing is not bad, I just wish they would do a some pre delivery inspections before leaving the factory. They have caused me many $$, time, and worry, trying to get everything fixed, and I'm still not done. My dealer (Holiday Kamper in Myrtle Beach, SC) took over 5 weeks to pay off my trade-in, and two months to get me a simple registration transfer.
