We like to go into provincial and state parks. Having a motorhome any longer than 33 - 34 feet can and usually will make that near impossible. That's why we chose the Fleetwood Southwind 32VS. Its large enough to spend 6 month in (Snowbirds) and small enough to get into the good parks. The shorter length makes it easy to drive and handle and leaves lots of room for extras with the weight capacity ratings. We can also easily tow our Honda CRV and don't even know its there most of the time! I rated the factory warranty/support was rated as a 1 Star because we bought this unit used after the warranty had expired.

We love the Fleetwood Southwind. We bought the most popular 35K model and love it. The only reason we are selling ours is because we enjoy it so much and want to take even more people with us to ball game weekends. Otherwise the 35K is perfect for a couple or 2 visitors. The 1 /2 bath is great when you have guests staying with you. The floor plan offers a washer/dryer option for long stays. We especially like the 2 air conditioners living in Florida, and the indoor fireplace on cool evenings. The LED lighting on the awning is awesome when watching TV outside. The 22.5 inch tires make for a smooth ride. You cannot go wrong with the the Fleetwood Southwind 35K. We love it so much we are purchasing a bigger Fleetwood Southwind.

I owned thus Southwind 32V for 22 Years and 81,000 miles without a single major issue. Great Motorhome. Sure, in 22 years I tightened a lot of loose screws, plumbing connectors, compartment hatches. Like any vehicle if you maintain it, it will last. Most people think Motorhomes are like cars. They are and they aren’t. They require a lot of tender loving care which it you provide it the coach will last you a long long time without any major issues. I had to use Fleetwood warrant service just once. The front cap popped loose from the top of the windshield. The dealer wanted to charge my insurance when they broke one of the windshields while removing it. I refused. Fleetwood stepped up and made sure the repairs were done correctly. Took about a week. Since then over 20 years have passed without need for any emergency service other than maintenance and routine repairs.

It has provided us with 17 years of fun and many many memories especially in the Mojave desert of California. It will make a great camping vehicle or even to live in full-time.

Took delivery of custom ordered 2022 Southwind Nov ‘21. Two trips so far. Here’s our experience: Kitchen cabinet door fell off; screw holes are stripped. Water pump quit working 2nd use; must be replaced. Awning gear (plastic) cracked 2nd use, would not retract and is currently held on with zip ties. Entire awning and motor assembly must be replaced. Door latch gear (plastic) stripped first use; have to use deadbolt to keep door closed. Entire latch unit must be replaced. Furnace makes loud banging noise; could not be fixed must be replaced. Large slide will not retract 2nd use, repairman coming tomorrow since we are 900 miles away from dealer and we can’t move. Propane gauge still reads full though we have run the furnace for 3 days in freezing temps. There are several other minor (non-operational) quality control issues, like shelving supports screwed in wrong, mattress strut in wrong place, table bracket wrong size to fit on leg, etc. The unit is beautiful and is just what we wanted but initial quality is dreadful and we feel like we wasted our money on a piece of junk.
