What 2005 Fleetwood Discovery owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
There was no incident. My hope is to report this before there is. My motorhome has windows which are fogging up very badly. The drivers side and passengers side windows get so foggy that it may be considered dangerous. I have talked with other motorhome owners who are facing the same issue. Please advise.
Double pane windows are fogging up resulting in lack of visibility through the drivers side window. Difficult to see the rearview mirror and objects on the left side when turning. Fleetwood claims not covered by warranty even though numerous discovery owners have had the same complaints.
Side windows are fogging up and cannot be cleaned. The worst is the drivers side windows and it is very difficult to see the mirrors which of course becomes very dangerous. Both the manufacturer and original suppliers (from reports by others) state this is past the warranty period. This is without a doubt a safety issue as the drivers sight is restricted.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 fleetwood discovery. While the vehicle was parked the contact noticed the front driver and passenger side windows were fogged making it impossible for him to see through the windows. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technicians contacted the manufacturer and they replaced the driver and passenger side windows. The failure occurred a second time approximately one year after the windows were replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 5,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 fleetwood discovery rv. The contact stated that the side windows would become extremely foggy, making it difficult to see the side mirror when attempting a turn or to see any vehicle from the left. The dealer and manufacturer were contacted and denied any assistance with repairs to the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 4,800 and the current mileage was 15,000. The VIN was unavailable.
Our windows are fogged very bad. When the sun is out the glare is so bad that u can not see out to see the mirrors ,very dangerous. When I called to complain they said I called to late for them to be repaired,they did not send a recall .called fleetwood a few times and they would not stand behind it nor would my dealer.they new they had a problem and would not fix it.
Double pane windows fogging from between the panes.
Driver's side window at driver's station fogged and hard to see through. This is window that driver looks through to see the rear view mirror. At twilight it is particularly bad with reflection of the interior showing in the window obscuring the visibility to the rear view mirror. This is a "double pane" window and I believe the "seal" has been ruptured. This situation almost caused an accident as driver was unable to see a following car that had started to pass as driver moved motor home to the left.
I have a 2005 discovery motorhome manufactured by fleetwood. The dual paned drivers side window which was manufactured by se gi has failed and is "fogging up" which is impacting visibility to the side view mirror. I am also stating to see similar failures on several of the stationary windows in the back of the motorhome. In my opinion these failures are premature.
