Flair Owners?
Just curious whether there are any Flair owners on this forum. We have a 22' one from 1993 and it just keeps on running.

94 flair 40' here. Inherited from mom and after sitting for 5 years getting it back in shape. Minor issues is all she took great care of it. Made it 3640 miles from oregon to florida with only chassis battery going bad in Alabama. New to RVing but think we are going to love it.

Flair Owners
Wow, I didn't know they made a 40' Flair. It amazes me that they put the same engine, a Chevy 454, in all sizes of Flair (or so I understand). Makes our little 22' seem very overpowered.
I think you will enjoy yours, though. It's a pretty basic machine and easy to fix. And Fleetwood's customer service still answers questions when I have them.
Have fun

We've got a 2003 33R we bought in August with about 14,000 miles on it. We've already put nearly 3,000 miles on it just on weekends! It met all of our requirements - features and amenities we needed, low price, low miles, runs great! I thought we might trade it in after a couple of years, but unless we wear it out I don't see any reason to.

Just bought a 2000 25Y Flair. Nice to know I'm not alone. Can anyone recommend any good websites about them?

2004 32' flair owner
Like the title says, 32' 04 flair 8.1 GM 19600 Mi. New to us in Jan '12 it even has original tires yet. I think it had sat idle for four and 1/2 years. we bought it from a dealer and everything works fine on it. but Lic plates under couch were expired in 07 and title was still from original owner.
I know, tires are too old. I'm looking for a Sumitomo dealer here in Vegas but I guess it can wait until just before our next trip.

Keith,
I love the 25' Flair. I remember that they made one with a floorplan that included an office space in the extra 3' over the 22'.
I actually thought about starting a Flair website, but never followed through. For repairs, Fleetwood's customer service has been helpful and Good Sam (I think) had a collection of RV salvage yards that is invaluable. When the selector switch on my fridge broke (no longer made or available from Norcold), I sent an e-mail to about 20 RV salvage places and a yard near Sacramento responded with exactly the part I needed on his shelf.
The only major repair we've had to do was a new transmission and that was within 3 years of purchase, so our service insurance covered it. And the local dealer put in the next level up of heavy duty transmission. Beyond that, just minor stuff.
Have fun, Keith (#2)

Hello Flair-22,
My wife and I bought our 28 foot Flair about a year ago. We love the floor plan and it's just great for the two of us. We have only used it three times but each trip was at least 1200 miles, and last April we did a 2200 mile trip down to the Gulf Coast (Mississippi), then over to Tybee Island near Savannah Georgia. I do all my own work (repairs and up-keep) and have done a lot of 'MODs' to make it more personal for us. The only thing I don't like is our Flair doesn't have a generator (it has the start switch and hour gauge on the dash and the power box in the generator housing area) or any awnings; I guess the first owner didn't want them?
Did you ever find a web site for the Fleetwood Flair? Maybe we can get something going for the older/smaller Flairs? If your interested, give me a private message and we can work on it.
C'ya,

Going to look @ a 1990 Flair this afternoon does anyone know anything about the transmission, and the engine, and what perhaps we should look for? It's got hefty miles on it 70 thousand but if it's what they are saying it is, it should go for a good long time. Aprreciate your thoughts. Thanks PS she says it's 30' long

Find a GMC truck mechanic who will go with you for an inspection or get the seller to let you take it to a GMC truck service facility. Check the maintenance records against the maintenance schedule in the owners manuals for the chassis & coach. RV owners are notorious record keepers.
70K miles isn't too bad for a 22 year old RV.
Check the NADA value online.
Good luck.
