My parents bought a Fleetwood Millenium home in 1999 (forgot the model #). That same flimsy plastic was used over tile in the guest shower. Many problems (leaks) with the bathtub and faucets ocurred. The carpeting knead up in a few places just after a few years. The hot water tank sucks and has low pressure. One of the vent registers no longer carry any air from the furnace. The floor creaks between the kitchen and living room. Floor boards at the front door and around the master bath toilet softened up and broke. Fleetwood makes some very nice models, but they seem to skimp on quality in many areas. Then again, is this unique to manufactured homes or just Fleetwood themselves?

Bought home through Palm harbor in Tomball they support and sell this junk .if you want to save yourself heartache don't be fooled by their con and fake talk ,it will cost you a lot of money

I live in a Fleetwood singlewide, biggest piece of shit imaginable!

I have a Fleetwood manufactured in Waco too. Like yours, my home is junk. My husband and I purchased ours from Atchafalaya in Carencro La in October 2002. I have had cracks in the ceiling, walls, electrical issues, rain coming through the kitchen window, dishwasher was not properly anchored, cabinets and drawers in my kitchen completely broke and fell apart within 2 years, shingles were not properly attached which caused my roof to leak, fireplace was a joke in itself, amongst other things. The contractor came only 2 times and did not fix anything. The only thing he did was put some popcorn on the ceiling where the large crack was at, which was from wall to wall mind you. We were told they would not repair the electrical wiring because they did not find anything wrong with it. Well, 21 years later, this Fleetwood home has fallen apart. The roof ended up letting rain in the home, 2 holes in my ceiling where it constantly leaked rain for years without us knowing. The boxing was damaged, rain got between the siding and the "press wood". 10 years later when the wall in the hall wsa extremely soft we realied it was raining in the home in the walls too. We changed the sheetrock, insulation, press wood and that is when my husband seen the studs he paid lots of money to have 1ft apart were infact 1.5ft to 2 feet apart! He contacted Atchafalaya and was told they have no record of us purchasing a home from them. According to them they only keep records for 5 years.

I love night hawk

such a sinister beginning to the video; haha

Mr. Sucker here: You've prabably moved out of that Fleetwood piece of garbage by now. I made the fatal mistake of buying one. I have most of the same issues you have. and yes you don't want to look under the home here are a few things you will find most likley. hidden under what they call the board (The poly vapor barrier under the home is the barrier manufactuered homes used to hide many defects in workmanship) damaged, holes, improperly installed duct work, causing you to pay higher utilities, floors not stapled or nailed properly after glued, causing squeaks, loose, uneven floors and most of my 20 plus holes were not sealed. I have over 200 pics, videos and sound files of the cheap garbage Fleetwood uses to build these homes, poor workmanship, and safety issues with home. I have filed complaints with 5+ different agencies and I have just started. I will be taking this to a Senator if I have to. So far I have gotten nowhere and will most likley not get any compensation for this. If there are any LARGE law firms willing to take Fleetwood on AGAIN, this should be an easy case. I have found no Attorney's that will touch this. I will end up fixing most warranty issues because Fleetwood is going to drag this out like most big companies these days, hoping you will give up.

Awful I was just going to buy one next week I was so Excited, and now I'm going to Clayton.

This particular Fleetwood home was built to meet a price point. A very low price point. It has cheap crappy fixtures and trim and the factory just threw it together. My mom had a Fleetwood in the mid 80's. It had a lot of flashy "gingerbread" but when you looked closer as to how it was built, it was not very good quality. I have always considered Fleetwood to be a bottom end manufacturer that sold cheap homes that barely met HUD code. There are better manufactured homes being built by better manufacturers out there but you are going to have to spend more money to buy one of them. It is the old saying, "you get what you pay for" and it is certainly true with manufactured houses. I currently live in a Karsten Home and it is a much better quality home than the one in this video. It has 2X6 exterior wall studs, 2X8 Floor joists, 2X4 interior wall studs, real wood cabinets, 1/2 inch thick sheetrock walls that are taped textured and painted instead of the 5/16 thick VOG (vinyl on gypsum) walls found in lower end homes, one piece fiberglass tubs and showers with the option to upgrade them to custom tiled showers, high end appliances and plumbing fixtures etc. You get the idea. the manufacturer was even willing to make changes to the floor plan to suit us. It is like having a poor mans custom built home. In terms of quality I would say my home is as good or better than many if not most tract site built homes out there at a comparably lower price. Having said that, having a home like this Karsten is going to be considerably more expensive per square foot that the Fleetwood you bought. You get what you pay for. On an up note, I believe that Fleetwood was bought out by Cavco industries which is a respected manufacturer in the Southwest and maybe they can straighten out Fleetwood and make them fly right.

My guy told me I need a new transmission on my 05 srt4 that it’s hard to get into 3,4,5,R. What do you think? If you don’t mind me asking

Comprou pelo site da redcat ?

Where your issues ever resolved? We are going through the same exact issues. Anyone think about a class action suit?

I wanna buy one but where do you buy parts i asked in hobbytown usa. But the dont carry not of that

Thanks

Its super easy to clean, get a piano stand, spray with simple green, and blast clean with water and your done

Thank you. I will not buy from Fleetwood. I don't like their homes

Still got it

What does your lawsuit kook like? Because you actually have a giant case!!!

I just dusted my Twister off as well and am looking to get new rears on. That Rustler tire appears to be bigger than the stock tire? Do you know the tire size is it the 2.2" or 2.8"? Thanks for posting this.

I have one it's awesome I bashed it hard on my channel!

Hold the camera sideways next time! Enjoy!

I watched tons of different boost leak test video. And you're the 1st and only one that said to put a check valve in there. I really don't see the point in it

I own one and regret not buying the Pro version. First mod you will Have to do is front and rear knuckle/hubs to aluminum upgrade. They easily break the moment you touch a curb or with the side of your tire. Next I would get those crappy servos out if there and buy the aluminum futaba servo mount and aluminum one servo steering link and one good 30Kg/cm + servo like a Hitec D845wp a d install the single servo steering setup like in version 2.

I have a Fleetwood singlewide. Its not well built and the finishes are extremely cheap. The carpet is super cheap and wasn't stretched, so it wrinkled and got worn down very quickly. When it was built the builders put a staple through the water lines which cause major leaking and mold, they came out and repaired the pipe (but did it wrong, which caused MORE leaking, and my husband had to fix it himself) but didn't fix the underbelly or replace the VOG wall. The bathroom just had MDF walls with water resistant paper on then, not a tub surround, and none of it was caulked, so we got water leaks and mold up the walls next to the tubs. The floors have weak spots in areas where there was no water damage and shouldn't be weak. Definitely buy from another company.

I have a Fleetwood manufactured out of Georgia moved it to Tennessee have had no problems trailers are all made cheapest parts possible when I purchased mine you do a walk-through and they fix anything then in my case I had another trailer made same model

I heard you say you wish you had of Went with Clayton Homes well I did and trust me they are no better !

Did fleetwood ever fix all the problems in your home or give you a new one?

I'm trying to figure out if that is the same transmission as the one in my 05 SXT. It growls on the left side drive shaft and vibrates a lot when started. I know it's a bearing. Has to be internal. I changed the Driveshaft and Wheel Bearing. No change. You take off with it and it jerks a long grrr grrr grrr when there's tension on the drive line. Works good but it sounds like it could fail.

well ~see you on my side! my deaar- 🔥

I am so sorry you have had to deal with this. I have a double wide 4 bedroom mobile home from Fleetwood and no broblems. It is 25 years old and has normal wear and tear and needs to be replaced. Don't give up. I live in Texas . We put ours on concrete .

You have a lot of flooring problems. What type of foundation did you put it on? You are responsible for your foundation. This trailer doesn’t have sheet rock. You buy cheap you get cheap.

We replaced the Back door on our home with a real door. Had the same problem with water leaking in. We don't have a Fleetwood. No matter what Modular, Mobile or Manufactured home you buy....you are going to find things that irritate you. Even REAL homes have problems when you buy a NEW home. If you bought a DEMO home there is a lot of put up and tear down stress. Remember you get what you pay for no matter what you buy. Don't sweat the small stuff cause Life has bigger problems than this.

did you order the new cables thru rock auto? and did they work out good?

When I was shopping 20 years ago, they were hot garbage then.

Class Action suit. All day.

So I have some advice here. DO NOT FINANCE A NEW MANUFACTURED HOME. DO NOT!!!! If your going to go this route,.....?....?...the best way to go is to find a repossessed one that's already set up on land. Believe me when I tell you,....it 1000 times the better option. The upside is that you can truly save 10s of thousands and still get a beautifully set up home. Now, ..the downside is you may have too sacrifice some of the things you want. But,....with the thousands you'll save,......you can add on to your home whatever you like. Depending on the area you live in and home construction codes of course. These companies will 100% take you for a ride and leave bathing in your own tears. It's a very dirty and seedy industry. Now even though alot of the problems your pointing out are fairly common,...?...?..its still shotty craftsmanship at the end of the day. So if,....if you go with a repo land home,...you'll not only save alot of money,....you can avoid these crappy companies and banks in most cases. We dealt with the individual home owner through owner finance. We set up a monthly payment and didn't even need a downpayment. The home was about 3 years old and beautifully set up. The problem is when you allow the manufacturer to set it up,......they dont care after you sign the dotted line. If you get a contractor who builds actual houses,.....to setup your home,...you will have a higher quality of craftsmanship and it will be done right. It's very sad what you and your family are experiencing. Those companies are crooked and RIP offs. I wish you and yours the best and hope you eventually get the home you deserve for your hard earned money. God Bless.

Very slight third gear grind going into third only if I shift quickly. If I shift normally there arent any problems, no grinds in downshifting or pop outs What could it be? Thanks

We just made a down payment on a manufactured home one thing I will be doing during placement of home to foundation is checking every water connection and drain pipe & I will scrutinize on time stamped video every inch, my video will not be one year later where they might suggest that I or someone else caused the condition As far as that crack in your vanity, I bought brand new kitchen cabinets that had cracks just like that fresh out of the box

So sorry to see to you both go through this horrible ordeal!! Such a hard lesson to learn sadly and it being so in your face, having to live with it day in and day out. I would try to sue them somehow either hold them personally responsible or as the salesman that sold it to you ? Just a thought it would make sense!! God Bless you Both and doggie too! all go though such an expensive ordeal loke thix and it being your home!!!!

I've heard bad things about Clayton Homes also.

Thank you for the head's up!

I have a 1999 Fleetwood manufactured home and it's pretty terrible! Literally every plumbing fixture has leaked either from the faucet, the connection or inside the wall. Sounds like water is dripping from under the house when water is turned on too. Wooden drawers fell apart, cabinets are faded and trim came off. Gaps between counter tops and wall. Sinks not caulked and leaked. Shingles blew off roof. Drywall on walls and ceilings developed cracks. Blinds fell apart. Whole house shakes when washer goes into spin cycle. Extremely poor insulation and gaps around doors, ice box in winter and burning up in summer. Door knobs wore out quickly and wouldn't lock anymore. Locks on windows stripped out. Ceiling fan is so wobbly/unbalanced we are afraid to use it for fear of it flying off the ceiling. Floor is uneven and creaks/squeaks. Heat vents stripped out, can't be closed anymore. Multiple leaks in roof during rain storms. I removed the exhaust fan in guest bathroom to see why it was leaking and my mind was blown! There was no vent pipe at all, only a round hole cut in the wood/roof that they just covered up with a single layer of shingles. Unbelievable!

Clayton homes and Fleetwood both are TRASH

All right Fleetwood, get off the dime and fix this man's home. I definitely will not be buying a Fleetwood now.

Unfortunately I fear that is every mobile home. We lived in 2 different brand new ones for over 20 years. Both of them....brand new and crap started going wrong within a month. I blame the companies that make them as much as I do the people who put them on the lot when you buy them. It's sad. It really is.

I had the warped floors in my Crestwood home. Same thing. State got involved. They never repaired the floors so when I took out the carpet 20 years later, I had the floors floated with concrete and put the flooring down when it dried. Skyline homes are the only decent homes these days.

It’s prolly not lazy. There assembly line guys not craftsman. There unskilled you really don’t want them to touch your stuff.

Wedding cake topper was broken that’s the kids job.

Fleetwood is very bad..i had one..made poorly..i would never use that brand. Cumberland maryland lot.. The finish workers are unskilled labor.. And i dont mean foreign.. Locals from cumberland maryland..

How odd, I bought a Fleetwood home in 1997. It was quality built! After I inspected it, only a few minor issues were found, and were all fixed right. Only long term problem was the cheap hinges on the doors. Having teenagers is rough! I truly loved my Fleetwood, I wonder what happened to the quality in between 1997 and 2015?
