I totally agree with you on the exterior paint jobs, I think they're awful and don't understand why they insist on using them. How long do you guys plan on keeping this RV, until you find something you like better?
I always wonder why RV companies insist on the "Moose Tagged" exterior stripe package. I really love the look of the now long extinct Vixen RVs that would often feature solid exterior colors and still look more modern compared to many RVs rolling off the line today.
I quite like the obnoxious paint jobs lol. I saw one 5th wheel at a park recently with the typical swoops and bright colors and the guy had continued that design onto his F350 tow vehicle. Looked kind of cool.
You guys have me listening for places to say "that's what she said." Seriously, I love your videos and look forward to seeing what you do next. I originally started with some of the later RV videos and watched all the sailing videos. I'm going back to see everything I missed. I was surprised with the blond hair. :-) I wish you both the best.
Excellent observations about overall design. Sooner or later these RV manufacturers have got to start taking queues from modern architecture and interior design trends. We looked long an hard before deciding on the travel trailer that would fit our budget and our driveway, and also offered the best interior layout for our lifestyle. We decided on the Keystone Passport Elite 23RB. Overall, quite nice for our first new RV purchase. We'll keep an eye out for a possible upgrade in the not too distant future. I really appreciate all the care you put into your video production, and all the solid information you present.
The engine break is called a jake break from the explanation I got from an old family friend who has driven truck for a long time and works on them is that it simply forces the motor to slow down by putting greater pressure in the valve train of the engine.
+Gone with the Wynns The "jake brake" was introduced to the world in the 1960's by the Jacobs Manufacturing Company and has been the truck drivers choice of engine brake ever since. Most common on Cummins engines it is far simpler and more reliable than the Telma(magnetic) and inbuilt transmission type retarders. Definitely would sway me when looking at an RV.
+Gone with the Wynns I never knew this existed till I saw your video. This is a very important feature for these big coaches. Thanks for making me aware!
Excellent review, many thanks! I also dislike the hideous decor of American RVs designed in Middle America. Too bad they don't take some design tips from Airstream, or Euro RVs, and some ergonomic tips from Japanese and German RVs for compact design. I remodeled my first RV - a 1997 Class C 22 ft Tioga which I presently have. This was my trial one. My next one is going to be a Class A and your reviews are super helpful to decide the features I will need and want. You have both done a great service to RV'ers!!!
I've been in the process of watching anything you guys have put out it's amazing ya'll seem so friendly and explain things that someone that has never been RVing before can understand! Thanks! Are those Ocicats?
Great video and well written article. This model is on my shortlist so I found it very valuable. P.S. Jason congrats on the blonde upgrade. They really are more fun.
Tim Fitch I think the Excursion is the best around the lower 30' size, great value, quality build and overall we're happy with it. Let us know what you end up buying.
can not agree more with graphic comment. give the choice of one solid color. combo washer/dryers sound great but it SEEMS they would drain a battery bank pretty good. could aftermarket window tint solve the day shade dilemma? in the end, no matter the materials used in an rv, they all start to head south as soon as the bumper-to-bumper warranty expires. investing in some DIY repair and basic/intermediate electrical classes will prove very valuable over time. i could mention more but that's enough.
For all of us who lament the interior and exterior design of U.S. RV's, take a look at some of the European ones. Clean, classic lines, simple elegant interiors and no exterior embellishment. You'd think at least one American manufacturer would develop a line in this style.
rmyerscmi I think the U.S. wins in terms of size, power and amenities though. Euro models have beautiful interiors (or can have) but they don't have slides, large tanks, large sizes etc. In fact most rv places there (from what I've heard) don't even have full hook ups. Depend on the type of rving you want to do though, I guess.
I couldn't agree more, the interiors are just ugly. We just bought a new travel trailer and had to completely strip out the interior and start from scratch. I hated to get rid of all the brand new stuff but I just couldn't stand to look at it.
I will never understand why many people will choose a RV off the lot with a traditional decor, and a "full body" paint job and complain about not having a choice... Don't let the salesman talk you into buying off the lot and order one with interior decor and exterior paint the way you want it.........
I was wondering about some of the mechanical specs of your coach. For example, holding tank capacities, fuel mileage, propane capacity, etc. Had a 24 ft class C which I enjoyed immensely, but knew it wasn't large enough for full-timing. Congrats to you two. I was told by a number of full-timers that 33-35 ft is a reasonable length for travels around the country.
I love the paint job and it justifies the massive price you paid, it would look crazy for that expensive of a vehicle to have just a plain paint job, but I understand your point. Love your videos.
I've been following your vids for a while and you give such excellent advice. Sometimes it's too easy as a viewer to say something off the cuff like "oh just do this, or that" which doesn't take into account how much work or the cost involved in fixing a given issue. I do think the interior is a little dark and would spend time like I'm sure you have trying to lighten the place up or even paint darker areas the won't impact resale. But like you say - it's also a stunning interior! The awning is a great an vital piece of information!!! And I would really find that frustrating beyond belief. I would worry about the aero dynamics though - you're driving something with the aero dynamics of a Pizza Hut in the first place ;) But vital info nonetheless for when I get to purchasing my own - thank you :)
I know this is an old post, but what I don't understand is everything (except the wind sensor, shower temp oscillating and shower flow) that was on your list were things that you should have known before even buying the coach. Kinda makes your list a bit silly.
Of course we miss things about RVing, but right now we're having too much fun sailing and experiencing the world from Curiosity. But we'll RV again - maybe renting one to explore Europe. You never can tell...
Thank you for sharing. We are in the market for a coach and have been shopping around for a while and it seems the majority of rvs are designed for a certain demographic. There is nothing out there for us folks who are NOT interested in traditional (tacky exterior graphics and interiors) When you invest in something like this you should be able to not cringe every time you come home.
I have been researching an RV for a few years now and as someone with a design background, it's all very...very sad; So, it's good to see that there are people who hates the tacky designs as much as I do. I've honestly concluded that these RV's aren't designed by professional designers, that studied at reputable & accredited schools of design, who doesn't suffer, horror vacui. They're either designing in a vacuum or incapable of drawing inspiration from outside their industry or country. Across the board, the designs are generally the same; terrible colors, wood-look, appliances, switch-gear (seemingly, all sourced from the same place) and not to mention exterior color choices and designs. It's actually funny to watch videos of manufacturers as they all say without exception, that they're doing/bringing something no other manufacturer is offering, so funny: who is their market research focused on? It doesn't seem like contemporary design style exist in Indiana or wherever else they are. Are European motorhomes better, not really; they're mostly shoe-boxes on wheels, doesn't offer anywhere near the equipment, Grossly Over Priced and finally the worst, because of weight restrictions, they have cassette toilets. However, there are a few that stand out with their interiors, STX Motorhomes and Ketterer travel motorhomes; these however are at the top end but ideas can be learnt from them. +Gone with the Wynns Take a look: www.stephex.com/motorhomes/en/models www.ketterer-trucks.de/en/models/category/c/travel-motorhomes.html
Wonderful share!!! Thanks for taking the time to put together a very helpful video for new RV pursuers. The Excursion is on our consideration list. I would like to store kayaks on the roof. I would need roof racks installed from front to back along the outside edges of the roof. Is that possible? The Excursion roof height states 11'10". Other larger RV's are pushing 13'. What is a safe roof height to remove most under pass concerns since we would be raising the 11'10" to 13'6" approximately?
You all have had so much experience with the Fleetwood products. Would you recommend them? I am currently researching a pace arrow 35m. Thanks for all the great content!
Hello Rex. We had little problems with our Fleetwood RVs. There are always small issues no matter what mfr you choose, but in general ours held up well. We just stopped by the factory once per year for a week of service.
Great video, good job, I liked it.... Did you guys ever consider a Winnebago? Just wondering.... We travel in a Winnebago and we like it.... Good luck and keep up the great work...
Hi one thing missing from your report, are all the defects, or aren't you allowed to post them, we had three Fleetwood products, one trailer and two very expensive motor homes and had nothing but nightmares, mined you the Winniebago we replaced them with was not better.
I love your videos and the blonde hair. I am planning to put solar panels on my RV. What kind are the panels on your roof. It looks like they are very thin and follow the roof line.
i'm thinking about getting an excursion. Couldn't you have upgraded your shower faucet to fix the problem? What size water heater did you have? Did your excursion have a VacuFlush toilet? if so, how did you like it? Any problems with the coach while you owned it?
I asked a question on your Washing maching video, but I am new to RVing, and the purchase process has me very stressed out. We are looking at an excursion, and I am very concerned about these items, interested in your thoughts. The 6 Gal water heater, (ever have any issues with water amounts? Ever think about upgrading to tankless?) With the shower not being thermostatically controlled, have you looked into solutions for that or is it only slightly annoying?
Fleetwood is a a great brand but very old school. My grandfather has one and the interior doesn't seem to have changed much other than the color pallette. I think these folks are looking for a European influenced coach.
JazzTree78 All black would not only attract the sun, every single little ding would stand out like a beacon. Seen a few that had a nearly all black paint scheme that looked bad because of this. You don't want to see one after hail has got ahold of one. All white gets dirty just looking at it. Plus an all white Class A RV looks like a rolling refrigerator. Just look at an old FEMA trailer to see how ugly all-white is. Problem is RV makers seem to think the costlier the rig, the gaudier the exterior so that others know the rig is fancy.
Diggin the blonde hair. A lot. Your overall vid quality is so much better than any. Im not following. The fridge runs on 110 all the time? How long can that last?
I'm looking at a RV to purchase and the 2014 excursion 33D is one high on the list. Ive watched a couple videos lately and one of them said it has double pane windows. But you say yours doesn't? hmmmm
+brandon lyles If you can get double pane windows they're great - like storm windows for your RV. In summer it will stay cooler & if you plan to use it in winter the RV will stay warmer and you won't have as much condensation on the inside.
I like how you can both talk for long stretches without needing multiple takes. Videos where people talk for brief segments, then splice the segments together, in the manner of Jenna Marbles, are utterly unwatchable.
azimuth361 Thanks, we try to roll in one take if possible cause we want to edit as little as possible, but for some info heavy videos we have to cut :)
I will never understand, the longest day I live,what the thought process is behind all the ugly, tacky fabrics in nearly all motorhomes. (yesteryear AND today) They manage to throw them in the seating, valances and everywhere else they can think of. Some are getting wiser and not covering all the seats in new ones, but they are still managing to sneak it in elsewhere. I have been spending approx 4 hours a day trying to find the right "one" for me and the interior design is really pitiful in most of them. would LOVE to know why?
Darren Boss In short yes. I have a 36 foot travel trailer and in some parks there are no sites big enough. Thankfully there are plenty of parks around with plenty of space for the bigger rigs.
I found a 2006 with 39k miles for 100k on craigslist(houston).. not rich but not cheap.. but ya, a new one, you would have to be fairly well off or sell your home for full time RV.
obelix269 I realize you may love your Tiffin but from our recent experience at the factory we know Fleetwood is overbuilding their RVs in comparison to the majority of the market, so a blanket statement saying Fleetwood is not good and Tiffin is the best is just not true.
lidsman2221 These little dislikes are nothing in the grand scheme of things and most can be fixed fairly inexpensively. If you want to read more: www.gonewiththewynns.com/good-bad-inbetween-fleetwood-excursion
The problem is the manufacturer; Fleetwood=junk. Buy a hi quality used and get the factory to go over it. Better engineering and build. Chevy vs Lexus.
Publishing "Dislikes" can be very useful to RV newbies. We have owned 5 motorhomes and none of them were perfect. Published dislikes can possibly get back to the manufacturers so that, hopefully, they change them on new models. There is no such thing as the "perfect" motorhome, but they are still lots of fun.
You both make me laugh - Hell you bought it - you review RV's... why complain about stuff that you bought... your videos are biased and actually untrusted.
Finally! Someone who has verbalized my sentiments exactly about the obnoxious graphics on the sides of RV's.
I thought it looked great!
I so happy you mentioned the paint designs on the exterior. I've always disliked that, especially when you want less attention.
.

I went RV looking last week. You're right, nterior and exterior design sucks for most motorhomes.
Your RV has a tribal tattoo. They should put a small Chinese symbol on the lower back portion. That'd be much better.
I hate the interiors of rvs.Why are they so awful? It seems like you get a choice of pimped out disco ball or grandmas country kitchen.
ddAdmire I literally laughed out loud when I read this...totally with you!
For all of us who lament the interior and exterior design of U.S. RV's, take a look at some of the European ones. Clean, classic lines, simple elegant interiors and no exterior embellishment. You'd think at least one American manufacturer would develop a line in this style.
Check out Japanese RV's whole different world when you sit on the floor. Not all that open floor plan,

Thanks guys, very insightful!
That thing is so sweet! Wonder if the carpet matches the drapes?
How about doing a "good bad ugly " on the Bounder??
like the new hair color looks good
commercially you should be doing infomercials you both have quite presence or maybe chemistry on film

Interesting, thanks. Nice new hair style too.
Some say you have to run the generator or be plugged in in order to allow the fridge to work. Is that true or did you fix that?
***** its not true if you have solar and a good battery bank.
Elkhart Graffiti! One of the biggest reasons I don't buy an RV.
rmyerscmi Love it...never heard this term before but it's simply perfect!
Do you guys miss the RV life style now that you are sailing or is there no looking back?
Of course we miss things about RVing, but right now we're having too much fun sailing and experiencing the world from Curiosity. But we'll RV again - maybe renting one to explore Europe. You never can tell...

I love all your videos
I love yall videos
How do you keep your Cats from wandering off when Boon-docking?
Hot new look.
Again! Good job! Love the new blondness!
Your hair looks beautiful!
Those handles on the freezer hurt to bang your head on after getting something off the bottom of the fridge.
Make a video about how long it takes from pulling in and all setup
If you want to scare your cats just sneak a cucumber behind then while they're drinking/eating! It's great fun!
If your wife is into art she should repaint the RV for ur your show!

u guys should check out the thor palloza 33.3 bunkhouse
I like your old rv better guys.

Hi one thing missing from your report, are all the defects, or aren't you allowed to post them, we had three Fleetwood products, one trailer and two very expensive motor homes and had nothing but nightmares, mined you the Winniebago we replaced them with was not better.

i'm thinking about getting an excursion. Couldn't you have upgraded your shower faucet to fix the problem? What size water heater did you have? Did your excursion have a VacuFlush toilet? if so, how did you like it? Any problems with the coach while you owned it?
Did you ever compare your model to the Thor Palazzo diesel? Also how do you get up on the roof, I don't see a ladder.
Nikki, you are so beautiful with the dark hair, but Jason as a blonde, I'd pay for pictures.
I asked a question on your Washing maching video, but I am new to RVing, and the purchase process has me very stressed out. We are looking at an excursion, and I am very concerned about these items, interested in your thoughts. The 6 Gal water heater, (ever have any issues with water amounts? Ever think about upgrading to tankless?) With the shower not being thermostatically controlled, have you looked into solutions for that or is it only slightly annoying?
Fleetwood is a a great brand but very old school. My grandfather has one and the interior doesn't seem to have changed much other than the color pallette. I think these folks are looking for a European influenced coach.
lady, that hair colour thou. lovely. agreed about the over the top graphics. why not have the thing 'skinned' with a matt black? :)
JazzTree78 All black would not only attract the sun, every single little ding would stand out like a beacon. Seen a few that had a nearly all black paint scheme that looked bad because of this. You don't want to see one after hail has got ahold of one.
All white gets dirty just looking at it. Plus an all white Class A RV looks like a rolling refrigerator. Just look at an old FEMA trailer to see how ugly all-white is.
Problem is RV makers seem to think the costlier the rig, the gaudier the exterior so that others know the rig is fancy.
Diggin the blonde hair. A lot. Your overall vid quality is so much better than any.
Im not following. The fridge runs on 110 all the time? How long can that last?
How long did it take kitty to forgive you for accidentally smacking her in the face? ;-)
does the sky loft thing have a ladder u have to store? i did not see it anywhere and would be a pain in the butt to get up there without lol :)
metho kingsley there is a ladder
Nice roots
I wish u ding dongs also mention engine chassis , gas mirage tires those specs. But that could be beyond your understanding, I don't blame you
Can you use a tiny house for this kind of traveling?
How did the engine and drive train perform? Any issues?
Maybe you should go back to driving a vw.
I'm looking at a RV to purchase and the 2014 excursion 33D is one high on the list. Ive watched a couple videos lately and one of them said it has double pane windows. But you say yours doesn't? hmmmm
+brandon lyles If you can get double pane windows they're great - like storm windows for your RV. In summer it will stay cooler & if you plan to use it in winter the RV will stay warmer and you won't have as much condensation on the inside.
Why do think they think they have to paint the outside bad/
Fleetwood should give you a new one
Why didn't you go w an allegro bus
She's blonde now!
I like how you can both talk for long stretches without needing multiple takes. Videos where people talk for brief segments, then splice the segments together, in the manner of Jenna Marbles, are utterly unwatchable.
azimuth361 Thanks, we try to roll in one take if possible cause we want to edit as little as possible, but for some info heavy videos we have to cut :)
why did you go blonde?
was that a bengal cat?
I will never understand, the longest day I live,what the thought process is behind all the ugly, tacky fabrics in nearly all motorhomes. (yesteryear AND today) They manage to throw them in the seating, valances and everywhere else they can think of.

I have been spending approx 4 hours a day trying to find the right "one" for me and the interior design is really pitiful in most of them. would LOVE to know why?
I think partly the fabrics are chosen to hide dirt and grime over the years. The exteriors are mostly graphics to save actual paint.
Did you put down a deposit?
100,000 eyesore, just my two cents.
Are the really large RV's restricted to where they can park?
Darren Boss In short yes. I have a 36 foot travel trailer and in some parks there are no sites big enough. Thankfully there are plenty of parks around with plenty of space for the bigger rigs.
How much horsepower does Roy have
Totallyawesome123987 not sure
I really liked you as a brunette.
These things must be for the richest of the rich people!
I found a 2006 with 39k miles for 100k on craigslist(houston).. not rich but not cheap.. but ya, a new one, you would have to be fairly well off or sell your home for full time RV.
We sold our home to afford one, they are not "cheap" by any stretch of the imagination
Bleach Job has to go. Make you look much older than your 23 years.:)
Errol
who is the blond? i like her better with dark hair.
Airstream is better
blond??
only one thing wrong with your rv its name Fleetwood get better product if you would have look at tiffin
obelix269 I realize you may love your Tiffin but from our recent experience at the factory we know Fleetwood is overbuilding their RVs in comparison to the majority of the market, so a blanket statement saying Fleetwood is not good and Tiffin is the best is just not true.
Fleetwood will always fail before any other brand be it tiffin Newmar or navastar brands
Are you going to get a new RV to fix all of the dislikes?
lidsman2221 These little dislikes are nothing in the grand scheme of things and most can be fixed fairly inexpensively. If you want to read more: www.gonewiththewynns.com/good-bad-inbetween-fleetwood-excursion

What is BLM land?

The problem is the manufacturer; Fleetwood=junk. Buy a hi quality used and get the factory to go over it. Better engineering and build. Chevy vs Lexus.
Dislikes; why did you even buy it?
Publishing "Dislikes" can be very useful to RV newbies. We have owned 5 motorhomes and none of them were perfect. Published dislikes can possibly get back to the manufacturers so that, hopefully, they change them on new models.
There is no such thing as the "perfect" motorhome, but they are still lots of fun.
lol,,,, why complain you didn't have to buy it or you didn't check nothing out before buying so its your fault
You both make me laugh - Hell you bought it - you review RV's... why complain about stuff that you bought... your videos are biased and actually untrusted.
