Hey there! Thanks for watching this video of this Amazing Fleetwood Bounder! If you enjoyed it, please don't forget to subscribe to our TH-cam channel! → th-cam.com/channels/FuE6zYaSBoN3jDDgxuVRgw.html → For More RV Tours th-cam.com/play/PLJsTbI4IKRk45tjtzOaS0RlJBDcNUUdyb.html
I am subscribed and watch all of your videos on TH-cam. I retired last August and my wife and I are considering to buy an rv and live full time on the road. Just trying to learn as much as possible while we deal with her medical issues. We use to team driving an 18wheeler for a few years until she couldn't. The future is looking good, looking forward to it. Keep the great videos coming.
We were at the Tampa RV show and narrowed our list down to two RV’s - the new Fleetwood Bounder 35 GL and the Tiffin Allegro 34 PA….It was a hard decision because they each had such fabulous layouts!! We did end up going with the Tiffin but yes, the Fleetwood Bounder looked really nice!
Wow-fantastic tour. You should do more of these because you’re really good at it. You weren’t rushing, it flowed so well AND you did such a nice job of weaving in all your knowledge and experience to help less experienced RV’ers see the benefits and use-cases that would be well-served by this Bounder. It’s absolutely a gorgeous rig/condo and a floor plan that I’d love to live in full time. Alas, as a retired solo traveler I don’t think I can take on a Class A by myself. Sticking with the B+ as I shop, learn and dream of myself doing this for a couple of years. Thanks so much. I’m now going to watch your other tours from the show.
Thanks so much! We will have more of the show tours up later this week! We’re trying to get them all edited as quickly as possible. There was a lot to see!
This is a very nice RV. I haven't toured too many Class As and the point that having the door not right into the cockpit makes sense. The swivel dining table makes a lot of sense as does the cockpit desk.
Great review! We have a 2021 Bounder 35k and saw this at the show and instantly fell in love too. If we were buying this year - we would have bought this for the exact reasons you showed: great kitchen area, great table, and great bathroom. It also has a rear window so an awesome view parking pull in or back in. Enjoyed the review!
I agree with you on the separate shower & toilet room with the 2 sinks. We have that type of set up in our RV and it really works for us. We are considering downsizing & I don't want to give that option up! But we are not full time and we would like to have a smaller rig to get around in.
Love the recessed outlets in the kitchen! The spinning dining room table is great! Drop-down bunks were a great invention. Love the passenger seat's work area. I'd worry I'd lose the magnetic drawer pull in the bedroom, haha. Thanks for sharing this.
If you put a cpap in the cabinet you need to keep the door open while sleeping so air and oxygen circulate in by the machine, so the light would be on all night.
Absolutely love it! Beautiful design for the kitchen and dining options.We have a 2021 35k Holiday Rambler that we love sister brand to fleetwood both owned by Rev group. Love this new floor plan and beautiful choice of colors and design!!!
I loved the idea of the lowering bed over the cab area in out 2015 FW Storm, but in truth it was used a total of 5 nights in the 6 years we owned it. I am assuming the Bounder had the new 8.1L V8 engine.
Great job on the video. Pretty inside but the lack of a full-wall slide really cuts down on livable space. No place for our dog beds! The hallway to the bedroom looks squeezed. Not liking those pop-up electrical outlets by the sink---they take up valuable counter space and I can just see them getting wet and shorting out or worse. Also not liking the non-ducted air conditioning units. We've had them in a Class C and now have ducted units in our Newmar Bay Star and the ducted system is so much quieter. Definitely do NOT like the batteries sitting on top of the propane tank!! But yes, it's pretty and you guys did a great job of showing it---thanks!
Dang! This floorplan ticks all the boxes! It actually does seem like a small apartment. The only improvement I wish the manufacturers would add is the exit door in the WC. After a certain age the idea of rappelling out of the bedroom window in case of emergency loses its appeal, what with the danger of broken bones when dropping that many feet to the ground. Other than that, it's a great model. I'll be looking at this one when we retire.
We were at the Tampa show Sunday too but missed looking at this one. I think we by passed it cuz we heard of Bounders problems a few years back with the Fabric on the furniture disintegrating. Now I’m curious as what the show discount on this was on this particular one. Thanks so much for the Video, u did a great job explaining everything well.
Hello there, thank you for a great video. I have a 38.6 Coachmen Santara in the UK which is challenging on UK roads as my youtube channel shows haha, it's my 2nd Coachmen, love them although both models don't provide enough heat in the bedroom so I had to put in a diesel heater. Here in UK diesel is around $9 a gallon so many RV owners run on LPG. Also do you guys or anyone know where in the States to buy cheap or used parts for Rv's? Best regards Nik
I loved hearing your valuable comments but would have appreciated seeing more of the rig rather than the camera focused on you. Thank you 😊! I was waiting to see how the inside all flowed together with a long-shot from one end to the other. The rig “appeared” to be rather choppy, especially where the kitchen cabinets swing around into the middle.
I enjoyed the tour, thank you. It appears that Fleetwood has really put some thought into this - as you mentioned - relatively short RV. Four TVs?? I loved that convertible dining table, that is a great idea. The work table for the passenger... another super idea. One item that I don't believe you mentioned was that the cupboard shelves are adjustable. Great layout. What I disliked was not on Fleetwood, as such.... the refrigerator. I recently bought that exact fridge for my new, south Texas RV-Casita (port home). It was the only counter-depth, "reasonably-priced" fridge with a workable delivery time. Though it works as it should, I don't like it. Reaching above or below the door to open it is a nuisance. The no-handle design is *exceptionally* prone to finger/hand prints. However, a minor complaint in such a well-designed layout. Thank you!
Nice review. Agree with a couple others, panning out to see the entire floor plan at different angles is important and really couldn't get a feel of it in this video. Also, don't need the background music. I get many creators want trendy videos with the background soundtrack, but RV review watchers are interested in the rig and the presenters comments, not theatrics. You seem to really enjoy giving reviews and it shows - look forward to more!
I am a minimalist. I am feeling overwhelmed. Sounds like many, many, many hours of maintenance would be involved to keep everything in good working order.
We just did a video about this a few days ago. What RV Campgrounds Won't Tell You (This Rule Can Be Bypassed)! th-cam.com/video/c3MYEst_kzs/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the video. I enjoy your channel. I'll wait for someone to buy it, trade it back in, then I"ll buy one for $50k less. LOL. you must be in Tampa.... That was a nice rig but I hoped you checked out the Tiffian's ... Safe travels.
Tony, I read this really good rule of thumb, 3-6-9. Start at 9am, drive no more than 6 hours, end at 3pm. It generally holds true, not every day you can start at 9 am not end at 3 pm. That 6 hours includes some breaks, working out to about 300 miles. When conditions are good we have gone over 400 miles.
@@eddiedoherty2349 good rule. Unfortunately came back from Lake Tahoe to Southern California and I drove from 7 am arrived home at 8pm. With just a few stops
I agree with the presenter about the homey feel of the coach. My single criticism has to do with the diagonal layout of the floor pattern. Visually, it is a superfluous device which does nothing to enhance the space.
Nice rig! I still like our 2006 Itasca Suncruiser 38T better. Had a 2001 Bounder before this one and it was OK but nothing to write home about. It was what got us hooked on RVing so there's that. How did the fit/ finish look? Has the quality of construction gotten any better? It's kinda hard to tell from the video.
We’ve not heard about the issues they’ve had - however we know ALL RV’s will have problems from time to time. Things shake loose, etc and repairs are all just a part of RV living
I've been a full-time Rv'er for nearly 7 years now. All my rigs have been class A, starting with a 1996, 38ft Thor Pinnacle, a 1996 40ft, Fleetwood Bounder. And now my first diesel pusher, a1999 Fleetwood Discovery V37. With that, a person soon learns what to look for that best suits them for their full-time experience. Great coverage of this rv by the way. I have to say Nope. I Don't like this floor plan. 👎 I like how the storage is heated. 👍 The lighter colors remind me of the 1980's. Sooo, no. 👎 I prefer the all in one washer & dryer vented over having two of them. Though having two separate units makes getting laundry done faster. You didn't mention how many furnaces it had. I only saw one. I have two 35000 BTU w/ heated basement. One thing I really didn't like was the bedroom. 👎 The floors I liked. Makes for faster cleaning, however, it reduces insulation, and it allows more road noise to pass through. Over all its nice. But not for me as a full-time Rv'er. Great job on the rv coverage. Looking forward to seeing the next one. 😀
Whoever is filming you needs to focus on what you are showing and not so much on you. The camera is constantly focused on you. You are not the subject of the film. The RV is so we need to see more of the RV in details!!!
This is my dream coach but can we please, please, please stop going with grey/beige!!! Come on guys, grey and blue is gorgeous. Beige and red is awesome. Beige and grey sucks!
People who love a single sink, you put soap in the sink to wash dishes, but how is it you are rinsing the dishes without over filling the sink ? Don't say you use a bucket/container for your soapy water, because you are simply making a double sink out of that plan.

Thanks Charity & Ben for this great tour of Fleetwood Bounder
Thanks for watching!
This is a very nice RV. I haven't toured too many Class As and the point that having the door not right into the cockpit makes sense. The swivel dining table makes a lot of sense as does the cockpit desk.
I do love the way the table turns. Majority of the time it's just 2 of us...but you still have the option of 4 people.
It’s nice to have options!

So exciting! Welcome to RV life!

I’m surprised how many people do not end up using the overhead bunks. The engine in this Bounder is the 7.3L, 350HP Engine.
Great tour! 👍
Thanks!
The outside TV let's you get exercise running alongside while watching a program! 🤪
😂😂
Wow~ Love it!
Thank you! 😄
Nicely done. Mat Foxcroft better watch out!
😂

Not RV related, but I just have to tell you. Your hair looks awesome!
Thank you so much!
We were at the Tampa show Sunday too but missed looking at this one. I think we by passed it cuz we heard of Bounders problems a few years back with the Fabric on the furniture disintegrating. Now I’m curious as what the show discount on this was on this particular one.
Thanks so much for the Video, u did a great job explaining everything well.
Thanks for watching! Fleetwood has since switched over to using Apex for their furniture.

There is a true "water closet" in this Class-A.

Hi. I'm looking for my 1st used rv. I read older rvs can't get into parks. Is that true? Do they check the year?

Best floor plan I've ever seen!!
We like it too!
in arizona in our community you can buy a full home brand new for 270k - i noticed the rv was 184k
For many an RV is someone’s home, thanks for watching
Great review. How many hours do you guys typically drive a day when traveling?
Depends on the destination- usually 6-8 hours max

Great tour. I only wish you had taken more video of such things as washer & dryer. You focused on her and we didn’t get to see the washer/dryer
Thanks for the feedback
Is there a window that is a designated escape hatch?
Yes
So, we understand that it's gotta go someplace, but we are not a fan of the breaker panel inside the bathroom - too close to water services.
Totally understand that one!
I agree with the presenter about the homey feel of the coach. My single criticism has to do with the diagonal layout of the floor pattern. Visually, it is a superfluous device which does nothing to enhance the space.
This is the layout I’ve been looking for with all my animals 😂 but it’s far to large for me to drive comfortably

We were very impressed with the fit and finish. Very solid construction on the cabinets, etc.
What does that rig cost?
I was thinking about buying one of these until I watched Amp to Glamped and all the problems they have had with theirs!
We’ve not heard about the issues they’ve had - however we know ALL RV’s will have problems from time to time. Things shake loose, etc and repairs are all just a part of RV living
It would be just about perfect if it had a diesel motor.
I agree!!
The bed is kind of sucks. It makes it hard to use the coach when the slides are in.....
You sure it's a V8? Most I've seen and owned were the Ford Triton V10
This new on is the v8
Pan out. We could not see the important areas.

Nice but not much living space, needs another slide!
It's surprisingly roomy with the slides it has. Opposing slides are nice too.
Cpap devices should be lower than the person
Show the RV. Too much face time.
$185,000.
